We are a senior couple. Stayed five days during a September heatwave in Rome. Room air conditioning only lowered room temp. ... to 74 degrees F.when running 24 hours. Excellent breakfast; great variety. Grocery stores and restaurants within three blocks.Residential neighborhood. Really good restaurant reasonably priced half a block away (ZiCiro). Metro station about 4 blocks away. English speaking ability of some of the front desk staff was limited but they did try to please.

Off the beaten path in Rome

The hotel is very clean with modern conveniences. If we could have picked up the hotel and moved it closer to a metro stop ... or the city center, it would have been much better. The hotel is about four blocks from a metro stop, and at the end of a long day of either walking or standing on hard marble, that walk is tough to take. The room was very, very clean, smelled fresh, and things were in good working order. The mattresses were VERY firm. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We had a major delay flying out from NY, but the staff made arrangements immediately to pick us up at the airport and helped make the delay bearable. The hotel, like most of Italy, doesn't value air-conditioning much. Our A/C worked and cold air came out, but the fan didn't push out a lot of the air. The hotel is in a very quiet and nice neighborhood, we felt totally safe coming back to the room every night after 11:00pm or 12:00am. Due to the distance from everything, we didn't go back to the room too often, so we had to carry everything with us. We were able to have laundry done at the hotel, which helped with less luggage, and they did a fantastic job of cleaning and pressing the clothes. But I was shocked at the fees. Think long and hard about the pros and cons of having the hotel do the laundry.

Perfect for the price

Attentive staff. Quiet out of the way location, but close enough to the Metro line to connect quickly to Rome's main ... attractions. Great bathroom for a European hotel of this price. Great place to crash if you are planning on spending most of you your time sight seeing and are looking for a clean quiet place to sleep.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Delle Vittorie. The staff provided excellent service, were very friendly, and helpful. ... The location was excellent and we found it very easy to get around Rome. My husband especially appreciated being able to get ice.

Wonderful, friendly hotel. Good location

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon to Rome. We had a marvellous time and we could not have asked for a better hotel. ...

Very happy with the choice

Although not in the main tourist areas, this hotel is situated in a mostly residential area. Local shops, cafe, resturants, ... and people and very quiet. I needed to be close to the Foro Olympico and this was 15 minutes walking distance - easy. Bathrooms were recently redone. Although small, the rooms were spotless.

this is a wonderful hotel. very strategically located within short walking distance to restaurants, cafes & shopping. ... helpful because this hotel offers continental breakfast only & does not have a full restaurant,but plenty wonderful dinning is nearby. although located in the city near the vatican, not in the city center per se, where one has to deal with noise and other traffic (foot and vehicle). hotel staff is very very nice, helpful and everyone speaks enough english to be of assistance to you (some more english than others). the hotel will help to schedule taxis, airport shuttles and tours that will all have drivers come directly to the hotel and pick you up and drop you off. i would highly recommend this hotel

Excellent service

The hotel staff was very helpful in arranging transportation, and explaining local customs. I travelled the first 3 days ... alone, and felt very safe in this hotel. The hotel is extremely quiet, rooms clean but small as is standard in Europe. About a 5-8 minute walk from Metro but in a quiet, business type location without many tourists.

great location excellent price

The hotel was about a ten minute walk to the metro. Easy to get almost any where. The breakfast was excellent, staff always ... pleasant. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel Delle Vittorie Roma Review

John Apr 22, 2009

I booked my first trip through orbits to travel my first time abroad and the price and customer service was great. I had ... called 2 days prior to my departure to confirm that I would have a double bed in the hotel because I sustained a back injury 8 years ago. The customer service representative was very helpful and put me on hold and called the hotel to confirm this would be necessary. Upon my arrival to the hotel, I was told I would by the concierge that I would receive a single bed because I was alone despite the confirmation that I was told by Orbitz. He told me for an additional 50 euro per night I could upgrade. After a back and forth and a phone call to the Orbitz in Europe, I was given my room (this all occurred within my first 2 hours of my first trip to Europe). I had a friend who is studying abroad in Rome and when she came to visit me, I had to once again get into a dispute with the concierge to have her visit my room and to resolve it, I provided him with her school ID and all her credentials proving she was a St. John's University Rome student. We had planned to travel to Venice and since the train was at 6:50am, I invited her to stay over and I gave the concierge her ID as usual with no questions asked. Upon my check-out I was charged 250 euro for having a visitor VISIT me and spend one night. I had timed my check-out to catch a train to the airport and then fly home. I refused to pay because even though I had a visitor stay one night, no additional accommodations were made for her, no towel and no breakfast and I was forced to pay 102,80 euro before they would let me leave. I ended up missing the train and barely making it to my flight. I was so inconvenienced and disappointed with the way I was treated at the hotel and how I was forced to pay so much money for having a visitor in my room for 6 hours. This was my first trip with Orbitz and I was so impressed with the service I had before I arrived in Europe that I referred my friend to come from Paris to Miami. I am planning to travel to Orlando for several days in April and I was planning on using Orbitz but I was so displeased with my hotel in Italy that I am nervous to book it through this company.

The hotel was wonderful. The breakfast in the morning was filling, and they had a nice spread. The wokers at the hotel spoke ... excellent english, and it was only a 10 minute walk from the subway. The room we stayed in was very quiet, and we had a great nights sleep. The room was no frills, but we didnt spend much time in there. There was a grocery store close by and plenty of small food places for a good meal. The only downside was going to the resturant they recommended, stay away, the food was terrible!!

excellent hotel, staff, and location

This was a great selection for our first trip to Rome. The continental breakfast was superb and the rooms comfortable and ... very clean. We walked about 3 blocks to a metro station where we could then go anywhere. We also walked from our hotel to Vatican City (about 25 minutes). Vanni's ( a very good restaurant) is a short block away. The staff all spoke very good English and were very helpful in every way. We would definitely stay at the Delle Vittorie again if we return to Rome.

This hotel is a great find, especially for a single traveller. It's in the Prati district north of Vatican City. It's a very ... quiet area away from the tourist traps, but, it's a pleasant 5 to 10 min walk to the Lepanto metro station through a nice area with several restaurants, shops, and reliable A.T.M.s on the way. The Vatican is only about 30 min. by foot as well, and I do recommend the walk. Rome is best seen on foot I believe. While crossing traffic in some areas is hectic to say the least, in Prati it's really quite tame. There are also a couple of bars near by with a lively, friendly clientele. Another bonus is the large local to tourist ratio in this area. The hotel staff speak very good english and are available 24/7 to help. The rooms are very clean as well. The only drawback I found was that the shower stall was extremely small. Keep in mind that I'm 6'3 and about 180lbs and I couldn't bend over in there when I dropped my facecloth. I had to get out of the shower to pick it up. I figure I spend about 30 mins. max a day in the shower so I'm not going to hold that against them too much. I highly recommend this hotel, especially to anyone looking more for the quiet side of Rome. I will definitely stay here again if my wish at the Trevi comes true! One last thing, please take care and BEWARE OF GYPSIES!!!! They are all around the back streets near tourist sites and the Termini station is teeming with them. Most seem to be women with babies strapped to their chests or with young children in tow. They are not hard to spot when you look for them. Men need to be especially cautious as these women will come at you in groups and grab hold of anything to distract you while the others go after your pockets. The locals will sometimes start yelling at you if they see wandering towards a group so pay attention, please.

Clean rooms, good location, good rates

The hotel is an easy 10 - 15 minute walk to the Lepanto Metro station, with additional easy access to streetcar and bus ... lines. It's on a quiet street in a decent neighborhood, with a number of casual dining locations nearby. Despite temps in the 30's every night, the small room was never cold. Breakfast was simple but adequate: pastries, dry cereals, canned peaches and pineapple, fresh apples, oranges, and tangerines, hot espresso. My only complaint: I'm a light sleeper, and I was awakened by noise from other guests in the hallway during the night and pre-dawn hours on a few occasions during our 5-day stay. I would stay here again.
