Rome Hotel Guide - INAF Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma hotels in Rome, Italy.

"I stayed in room 406 for seven nights and overall had a mixed experience. The room—and especially the bathroom—was exceptionally clean, easily one of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The breakfast was also quite good and very substantial, which was a nice way to start each day. That said, there were a few drawbacks. The room temperature was consistently too warm, and it appeared that the heating and air conditioning were centrally controlled, as the in-room thermostat didn’t seem to have any effect. This made sleeping very uncomfortable. Opening the window helped with the temperature, but it introduced way too much street noise for sleeping, so we opted for the room being too warm. While the breakfast quality was solid, the selection was exactly the same each day. After a week-long stay, a bit more variety would have been appreciated. Lastly, the elevator doors close too quickly—almost immediately after selecting a floor—and do not reopen once they begin closing. This made entering the elevator somewhat challenging when multiple people were getting on. I got separated from my husband and I witnessed the same thing happen to other people when the elevator doors locked us out."

"This hotel is a bit of a walk from the metro (about 18 minutes). It does have a good grocery store nearby (CarreFour). The hotel is very nice, the room was nicely decorated and clean. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, he allowed us to check in early when we arrived from the train station, as they had a room available. Breakfast was very good with a good selection. Would recommend!"

"Absolute gem of a place with stand out friendly staff, amazing location. Our room even had a view of St Peter’s basilica which was beautiful at sunset. When we return to Rome we’d happily choose Mama Shelter again. The pizzeria was excellent (service not superb in there but pizza was great). There are some great food options around the area, we ate a typical Roman breakfast opposite Cipro Metro station. There’s a Carrefour (make sure you get a discount card as this can save you a fair bit), and Cococ was excellent a few strides out of the door, for a breakfast also (they do evening meals there). We didn’t have breakfast in the hotel, it was quite pricey at €22 each - you can get a lot more in this Prati neighbourhood for much less "

"Beautiful place Breakfast is great "

"Air conditioner work. Staff was rarely available. Had to ask for fresh towels and according to a staff member sheets were cleaned every 3 days. It’s a few minutes from the Vatican great walking area and close to restaurants and shopping area. "

"Everything was excellent, except its location, as it is far from the city attractions, but this wasn't a big issue with the free shuttle service offered by the hotel."

"This hotel has such a great location. We walked to so many historical places. The hotel is older but very nice, we felt like we stayed in Rome, not a commercial motel off the freeway. Two thumbs up !!"

"Breakfast is excellent."

"Very nice hotel away from the hustle and bustle of central Rome. Shuttle downtown is a great perk. Lobby bar is a great place to socialize and relax. The location of the hotel allows walking to neighborhood restaurants, shops and a small market. Very nice hotel and a very nice stay."
