Alius Hotel Rome

The location of the hotel is fabulous. The staff was very nice. The room on the other hand was disappointing.

Pros: Alius claimed electrical problems caused our first night to be sent to partner hotel that was a 10 minute walk away from via nazionale, the street we intended and paid to stay on. there was no internet connection within the room during day #1 or #2 as expected. staff was multi-lingual and conversated easily, that was a big plus. there were no apologizes or discounts for first night transfer and lack of two nights of no internet service which caused stresses and inability to see vatican on a friday and wasted time spent rescheduling. with only a 4 day stay in a city that warrants 1 month of touring, this 'minor' dysfunctions caused much stress.

Pros: The reception staff spoke good english, were helpful & informative.
Cons: Toilet in room was difficult to use as it was suspended too high up. we were in room 10 & we could hear the front door bell & the lift mechanism.

Cons: The hotel is situated in the 3rd level. there is a lift but with the key. so one has to first go up the stairs 3 floors by foot get the key and after go down for the luggage. the impression it gives you the hotel that it is for students. in fact it had 4 beds in the room. the walls need badly some painting. no ac in the room but a noisy fan. it had a very small tv stuck high up in the wall wich obviously does not work.

Pros: It was as expected, good service by staff
Cons: Dificalt to find eating places near by

Cons: Beware: misrepresentation. family rooms do not have air conditioning despite advertising they do. save the extra money for a non existent amenity and stay somewhere else!

Pros: Nice and clean. good breakfast
Cons: Would be nice if one could check out at 12am insted of 10 am.

Pros: Excellent friendly helpful staff.
great location, handy to the subway and buses and short walk to most attractions
Cons: Small rooms, a triple is really just a twin room with an extra bed added (all beds are single beds by the way)

Pros: The hotel was in a convenient location but it was definitely overpriced for the rates we paid.
Cons: Poor value for nightly rates.

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic as compared to the other two hotels that i experienced in florence and venice
Cons: Too noisy as the hotel was situated in a busy street, but still bearable.

Pros: Quiet, which is unusual in rome (but then we had one of the few quiet rooms at the back).
Cons: I thought it was expensive for what it was, especially as it was not that central. the breakfast was nearly always the same: fatty and sugary and lacking in any fibre. every day, the same cheese and salami for the white rolls !

Cons: The room wwas not particularly clean, it had a horrendous odor! towels were exchanged every other day, but it wasn't posted, we had no idea.

Pros: Hotel alius is on a perfect location, it was great value for money. the staff were friendly and helpful. any downfall to the hotel is counterbalanced by the fantastic location.

Pros: Room was spacious and clean. we had a very comfortable stay. breakfast was generous. also good for a romantic trip.
Cons: Difficult to get wifi in the rooms at the end. walls are not very thick; we could hear laughter from the next room.

Pros: Good location
Cons: Noisy and overpriced rate

Pros: Location
Cons: Enviroment

Pros: Well, the best part of this hotel is the amazing location (close to everything) for a really low price. the bathroom was small but new, and most of the staff were very helpful. room service everyday. for how cheap it was, we couldn't complain too much.
Cons: The double bed was two small, hard cots pushed together. they really need to invest in better bedding. the room smelled very much like they had used a lot of vinegar in their cleaning solution (strong smell). the sound traveled greatly from the hallway to the rooms and vice versa, so privacy felt limited. the wallpaper was old and outdated. still, these things are what you expect so we did not let it bother us much.
