Urban Garden Hotel

"Honestly this hotel is definitly not as bad as some of the reviews I have seen, however it could be much better. Overall the stay was fine, the location of the hotel makes it incredibly easy to travel into Rome itself as the hotel is a 5 minute walk from the metro and as it’s the first stop you’re guaranteed a seat! This made it really convenient to come and go. There’s also a Lidl just down the road so you can easily grab snacks etc. the area surrounded the hotel though is very run down and full of antisocial behaviours unfortunately which is a shame as the vibe of the hotel itself is lovely. The rooms had good working aircon, plenty of space and were clean however the beds were quite uncomfortable with very thin mattresses and you need to ask for extra pillows because the ones on the beds are thin also. The bathrooms were a good size but the toilet seat slipped every time you sat down (this was in multiple rooms) and the shower was also small you couldn’t turn around in it. The staff were lovely, we arrived late due to travel issues and the receptionist got us checked in quickly and in the evenings when some of got drinks from the bar the staff were more than happy to help where they could (they had no bar staff for the week so the receptionists were doing everything!) and we built quite good rapport so with them. There were a couple lovely patio areas on the second floor where we spent most evenings, the only thing I would say is that they need some lighting up there, even if it’s strings lights because it gets very dark. The only other thing I would comment on, and it’s not entirely their vault, is that the walls/ceilings are so thin that one of the nights we could hear in horrible detail the person above us projectile vomiting into the toilet. I think that’s something to consider when booking but I do think it’s worth the money as a budget hotel. I genuinely think with a bit more money put into it, this hotel could be a hidden gem!"

"We stayed at this hotel and had a really great time! The room was comfortable, clean, welcoming, and furnished in a modern way. A big compliment also to all the staff, always super helpful, kind, and attentive to the guests' needs. Free, video-monitored parking. The subway stop is 300 meters away. We also had dinner at the hotel and were very satisfied: really good dinner and excellent value for money. A definitely positive experience, which we feel like recommending!"

"Such a great little hotel. 5 min walk from Rebibbia metro, then 20 min ride to get to Colosseo (centre). There is a big Lidl 10 min walk away and a great handful of smaller shops nearby (Pizza, suppli, gelato ect). Such a beautiful, quiet atmosphere with lots of space outside to chill in the sun. The balcony has 2 sun loungers and a mini sofa as well as tables and chairs. Such a lovely spot to enjoy some drinks in the sun from the hotels bar. Reception staff were incredible and extremely attentive. The choice of the drinks at the bar was vast, and cocktails were very well made, with attention to detail. Rooms were clean and kept tidy by staff daily, towels folded, bins emptied and beds made ect. Air conditioning is great and adjustable via remote. I was at first cautious of the window situation as the downstairs rooms have no obvious windows. But the doors have a ‘two way mirror’ like window (can see the outside but the outside can’t see in) which also has a blind to close for extra privacy. We didn’t try breakfast as we went out each morning so can’t comment on that. The bathroom was simple and clean, the shower having very good water pressure with hot/ cold water as well as body wash /shampoo being provided. We used the fridge which we had no issues with. Overall, as a young couple we are extremely happy with our visit and would recommend to anyone."
