Best Western Hotel Astrid

booked this hotel to be close to the music venue Parc della Musica for a concert. location also easy to get to Rome central - No.2 tram less than 5 mins walk and takes about 10 mins to the piazza del popolo. Bus 190 comes within 5 min walk from termini station. also close to Maxxi art museum. supermarket next door is useful. Breakfast was the best value I ve come across. 5 euros! toast / pastries/fruit salad, yoghurt cereals, ham and cheese. juice tea and coffee. it was possible to have tea or coffee all day from the machine. breakfast room looks across river and rooftops to St Peter’s. staff were pleasant. air con a bit noisy but works fine. ate one local restaurant - really good pizza and not expensive.

the rooms and bathroom are small. Smaller than I ve experienced in other Best westerns. the hotel is a traditional building - but the decor is faded.

Great location and access to public transportation. Very nice surrounding neighborhood, shops and restaurants. Breakfast at the rooftop room is an awesome way to start the morning. One of our rooms had a great view to the river and the top of the Basílica de San Pedro.

Some rooms are great , some can be small and dark. Make sure you request one with a view. There were ants in one of our room. It was very clean though but they were coming out of a little corner in the bathroom. Not a good opttion if you are looking for accesibility. The lift is very small so if you come with a lot of luggage you will have to do several trips.

reception staff were helpful, room on arrival was very small for a couple, however the following morning we were moved to a bigger room to accommodate both of us comfortably. Breakfast on the terrace each morning was very pleasant as was the complimentary hot drinks. The tram stops at the end of the road and is a 5 mins journey to Flaminio where you can access the Metro, (1.50 EUR for a day ticket). From here we visited the Colloseum, The Vatican, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Central Rome. The hotel is in a great location for these sights and a 15 mins walk to Stadio Olimpico

It was cheaper because it wasn’t very close to central Rome but easy walking distance to markets and restaurants

I was switched rooms twice because the first room the light was flashing and the second had two twin beds instead of one queen, the third room was bigger and nicer than what I originally got so that was nice

Everything: room, location and breakfast. The only small quirk was a single elevator which could get very busy with groups of tourists or even mover's boxes being delivered! But I understand that it's difficult to install another elevator in a historic building

Clean. Staff were friendly. Good location. A 30 min walk into the centre of Rome but it was nice to be away from the bustle of the centre at night. A taxi from the Trevi area to the hotel was around E10 at night. Excellent Irish pub round the corner and an amazing shop selling every type of food right next to the hotel.

Breakfast room could get crowded.

all our rooms (4) were clean and bright, really enjoyed breakfast on the terrace, nicely situated to the tram and Stadio Olimpico with local grocery shop around the corner

some of the rooms were very small for 2 people

loved the breakfast room view! great location, everything you needed, with a great access i the auditorium. even some good restaurants and Gelateria’s around.

It was our fault for not asking but some blankets in the room would have been appreciated. We were both cold, and by the time I knew it it was 1:30 (after a concert) and I was already in bed and didn’t want to run downstairs.

Facility was a bit unorthodox in that certain rooms were commercial uses with company identification on the outside of the door, but otherwise all was good. The breakfast was in a very nice area on the 5th level and was very nice and the food was good.

The partial commercial use of space.

Convenient location for public transport to the centre. Good choice of local restaurants. Very helpful staff on reception

The room was a bit too small, with no real hanging space, no cupboards and nowhere to put 2 large suitcases! We would have used the bar if you had one
