HOTEL RINASCIMENTO

Die Lage war Klasse, wenn auch für uns ungewöhnlich laut.
Wir wurden sehr nett von einem Mann an der Rezeption empfangen.
Die Zimmer sind für meinen persönlichen Geschmack nicht gut gereinigt & die Betten haben Härtegrad Beton, ansonsten hat das Zimmer ein Wasserkocher Mini Kühlschrank und Safe. Die Bitte nach einem Topper sowie das Einschalten der Klimaanlage, konnte leider nicht erfüllt werden, also blieb es im Februar bei einer Raumtemperatur von 25° auf Betonbetten.

Julia, (die Dame für das Frühstück) ,war göttlich, sie war trotz der Sprachbarriere super freundlich und versuchte aus den ihr zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln ein Frühstück zu zaubern.
Was definitiv eine tägliche Herausforderung war.

Cannot argue, location is superb, walkable distance to all major tourist sites. So no issues there. Issues are with amenities of the hotel. We were welcomed by a receptionist, we were allowed to drop our bags before check in time which is amazing, having just been scammed by taxi driver and having to walk 25mins with 20kg bag accross Rome (story for another day). When we came back in the evening, shifts changed and we were greeted by a man, who showed us to our rooms. Oh boy, you should have seen our faces when he started walking towards the road rather than the lift…I have stayed in 4 star hotels in UK and Europe, even worked in one years ago. This hotel is not 4 star hotel. Our executive double room was not even in the same building as hotel, but in the building across the narrow road, and not in front of the hotel but round the corner, our room entrance was straight onto tiny pavement, next to constantly parked cars, 20 meters away off the main road. Our double bed was made out of two single bed mattresses. Executive room with no executive facilities, more like executive because it wasnt as tiny as other rooms by sound of it (after a google search, standard double room would be 2m2 smaller than what we got, in all honesty that 2m2 could have been used as a small hallway as a barrier from the hussle of randoms walking past our room all the time). A/C? No such thing. When we went back to reception to ask if there was smaller room available (there wasnt as Rome marathon was happening which is fair enough, doesnt hurt to ask, but we felt that we shouldnt have even bothered from the answers we got), we were also told that AC only got two settings, winter heat and summer cool. So, essentially, it is central heating then. Our room was constantly at minimum 25degrees. We had to compromise our comfort between either be left stuffing for some air or be kept awake and leave window open. We left window open, surprisingly, would be only woken up at 5-6am when cleaners would start their missions outside on the streets…

Our first night was on tiptoes being afraid someone will knick our stuff, break in and rob. Eventually, we got used to this feeling. But still, would place some bottles on the curtain just in case someone tried to come in as some sort of reassurance. In what kind of 4 star hotel would you need to think this way???

As already mentioned, amenities were far from 4 star. Besides bed being 2single bed mattressess, they were comfy enough to not mind because you’d be just too tired to mind this after walking 20km each day. One of our bedside lights were not working, our plug adapter got stuck in one of the outlets and we just left it there because as we were trying to get it out, whole plug was shaking. I wont be electrocuted for £2 adapter plug, regardless, it left us using one plug for 2 phones, battery pack, smart watch and tablet. Not good. Walls cracked at seems at few places.

Bathroom - nice size. Sink tap - we had to hold it with hand in order not to take it out of place if we wanted to put tap on… you can see quite apparent wear and tear on wooden panels, not cute. Shower - have you seen those tiktoks on london rental crisis and what riddiculous sizes showers are in those properties? That was it. Tiniest shower imaginable with outdated plumming, taking 1min minimum for water to reach shower head. Hair dryer - i felt like using one from 70s, smelled like it is burning and is on last legs. Not cute. Floor boards - unexpectidly warm but only around toilet and bidet area so im guessing from hot water taps.

Breakfast - small room reminding off school cafeteria with plastic chairs. Breakfast choice actually decent, orange juice is to die for. But eggs were quite runny on 2 out of 4 times we were there. Just a side note. Premier inn has nicer presentation of food though, felt bit cheap.

To give them some credit - whole 3rd floor is under construction so maybe next year they’ll have nicer rooms

I wish i read reviews before booking. Dont be fooled by nice pictures. Do your research. Hope this helps anyone.

Todo de primera. La atencion EXCELENTE DE TODO EL PERSONAL . LA UBICACION NO PODRIA SER MEJOR. EL DESAYUNO SUPER ABUNDANTE. LA CALIDEZ DE ROGER .NO TIENE PRECIO. SUPER SUPER RECOMENDABLE.

Problème WC fuite, nettoyage et pas de réapprovisionnement du frigo, papier toilette, café. Trou dans la douche, problème d’insonorisation avec l’intérieur et l’extérieur, pas beaucoup de chaîne française sur la TV.
Point positif, la position de l’hotel et la bienveillance de Mr Mamadou à l’accueil (désolé je n’ai pas connaissance de son nom)
