Arenula Review

Standing on an age-worn byway off central Via Arenula, this hotel is a superb bargain by Rome standards. With an imposingly elegant stone exterior, this hotel welcomes you with a luminous and cheerful all-white interior. Guest rooms are simple in decor but have pale-wood furnishings and gleaming bathrooms, as well as double-glaze windows and air-conditioning (in summer only; ask when you reserve). Two of the rooms accommodate four beds. Of course, you can't have everything, so that the graceful oval staircase of white marble and wrought iron in the lobby cues you that there is no elevator. Those guests with rooms on the fourth floor had better be in good shape!

    I require a hotel with a round-the-clock staff. My room was a small but adequate single, small, clean bathroom and a good, full breakfast included. One man on the desk was rude, but the woman who worked half the day was extremely courteous and helpful. No elevator, but a great location. In all, a mixed bag, but I would stay there again for the low rate and being able to walk everywhere.
