Hotel Des Artistes reviews from guests that stayed in 2003:

"It was so nice returning to the hotel at the end of each day, knowing we were coming back to an extremely clean and orderly sanctuary. It was very convenient to the metro (right around the block) and the staff was always welcoming. We also had the best food and wine at neighbouring trattorias and pizzerias. I look forward to staying at Hotel Des Artistes next visit to Rome!" Joni and Peter from Scottsdale, AZ, USA, 15 December 2003

"We arrived at Hotel Des Artistes after touring southern Italy for 3 weeks and we were delighted with the location and standard of the hotel. Nothing compared to it." Tim and Kay O'Leary NAVAN Co Meath IRELAND, 9 December 2003

"I was very happy with my accommodations at the hotel. The single room was spacious and had a roomy closet. The bathroom was very nice with a good hair dryer and shower. The free internet access is a great plus not found in most hotels. The location of the hotel is better than I had expected-close enough to public transport but far away enough from the noisy, seedy area of the Termini. The staff is very friendly and helpful." MCH, USA, 6 December 2003

"We found that all of the staff at Des Artistes were friendly and gave us well above average service. The room was well decorated and spotlessly clean. We would not hesitate to tell anyone to stay there when in Rome. Your hotel demonstrates what the hospitality industry should be about - making guests feel welcome and having them feel that this place is their home while away. Great work by all staff. You should be very proud of them!" Lynda and Paul Hurley, Canada, 20 October 2003

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Des Artistes. The location is very convenient for access to Stazione Termini and the subway, yet the street is quiet and safe. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. The web site is well designed and makes it easy to research and make reservations at the hotel. Free internet access to guests was greatly appreciated, too. We would gladly stay there again, and will definitely recommend your hotel to friends travelling to Rome. Grazie mille!" Judy and Cliff, USA, 17 September 2003

Everything was done very well, from the web site to the generous breakfasts, and we felt like we were in Rome, with the convenience of an English-speaking staff.

We hope to come back to Rome, and will definitely stay at Hotel Des Artistes again!" Pat and Frank, USA, 6 September 2003

Good recommendation for dinner, too. I would recommend the hotel without reservation. Thank you." SK, 24July 2003

"Great rooms, good location for metro and buses. Quiet. Friendly staff. 4-star rooms in a 2- to 3-star hotel judged by the public areas, but given prices overall experience value 9/10. PS recommend Bistro restaurant round the corner - Quality / style / value very good - try there first!" TC 9, July 2003

"I highly recommend this hotel to people who are on a slight budget. Its quality is way above that of similarly priced hotels.

"I am always a little concerned when booking a hotel that you get what you think you are paying for. Even more so when using the internet and email. I have to say that everything that is said about this Hotel is true. Easy to book, prompt service, excellent, friendly staff, good value for money, quiet location, pleasant surroundings etc. etc. The only negative thing we could say is that my wife would have liked a Gin & Tonic from the Bar! Great time, excellent stay!" DES – UK, 3 June 2003

"We found this hotel to be conveniently located, close to the Termini, and beautifully decorated. The fridge in the room, and the nice little bed they included for our 13-month-old son, made travelling with him a pleasure. Booking was quick and easy and any correspondence was very pleasant. We would stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to friends." GJB - Massachusetts, USA, 1 June 2003

"Sarah Beth and Margaret had a wonderful time at Hotel Des Artistes, one of the nicest hostels we've seen in our month long trip through Europe! Great value! We're from Pittsburgh, Pa USA." 30 May 2003

"Enjoyed our stay in May 2003 immensely. The room was huge, great to have internet access for teenagers, breakfast area and food was more than adequate. Found the hotel to be convenient walking distance to most attractions, although we put on up to 20 miles a day walking. Good restaurants nearby as well." JR, USA, 29 May 2003

"We threw 3 coins in Trevi fountain to ensure our return visit to memorable Rome, and the lovely Hotel Des Artistes." C. Dunlop USA, 14 May 2003

"My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Des Artistes in May 2003. The hotel location was superb. Even though it was 5 blocks away from the Termini Station, it was only 1 block away from the Castro Pretorio Metro B stop. If you're planning on staying in Rome for a week or so, get the weekly metro pass (which also works on most public buses). The hotel is situated in a quaint neighbourhood. There were wonderful restaurants and bistros to enjoy a leisurely meal, or some pizzerias and patisseries for a quick bite on the go. The best feature of this charming hotel is its roof top terrace. When we were there, the flowers were in full bloom, and the temperature was a comfortable 25 degrees C. (77 degrees F.) We'd often go to the store to pick up a bottle of wine and some cheese. We'd go upstairs to the terrace, and enjoy a nice relaxing evening with the other guests." 14 May 2003

"What a wonderful, friendly hotel! Everything about it is perfect, we could not fault it. We were a little worried before arriving having just booked it from an advert on the internet but what a lovely surprise we had. The location is great, on a nice quiet road but close to Termini. Don't hesitate to book here!!!" CM, 14 May 2003

"A friendly hotel were you can relax and make friends over a drink on the roof top garden. An enjoyable stay in a wonderful city." Andy, Southampton England, 13 May 2003

"Great place, friendly staff and located in the middle of everything. Reasonable price." Knut, Norway, 12 May 2003

"Hotel Des Artistes is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The booking service is quick, and friendly; hotel staff are very helpful; the rooms are clean and comfortable; and there's a great roof garden. Added to this, the hotel is conveniently situated for getting about Rome. The only drawback of the hotel is that because of its basic architecture, it's not very suitable for disabled people with mobility difficulties." Alan Lovell U.K., 17 April 2003

"Don't be deceived by the small street, or the lack of a fancy front, this hotel is great! The rooms were large, and well maintained. We had two adults and one young teen in our room, no problem. The bathrooms were super clean (no mildew) and modern. The breakfast (included) offered a good variety of fresh food, and plenty of it. If weather permits, have breakfast on the roof-top terrace! Even had free internet access during the afternoon and evening. The staff all spoke English, helped with transportation (had taxis at the door for us within minutes of our requests), and recommended a couple of great little restaurants near the hotel (with discounts). The Metro is less that a one minute walk from the front door, and the neighbourhood was safe! Great value for the money. Staying at the Des Artistes made our week in Rome all the more enjoyable. We would recommend it to anyone!" The Cowan Family, 12 April 2003

"Great place to stay close to the train station and easy access to the sights of Rome. The garden room is a great place to enjoy wine and cheese from the market across the street." FCB and DWB from the USA, 12 April 2003

"A beautiful room, comfortable bed, very clean, no-smoking environment, quiet (even with a street-side room), beautiful terrace, wonderful breakfast, lift (elevator), helpful and friendly and english-speaking staff, one block away from metro.... no complaints. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there." Jean/USA, 25 March 2003

"The hotel is very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. The location is excellent for any visitor to Rome as it is only a short walk from the main subway, bus and train station. Despite the central location, it is on a lovely quiet street so we had a very peaceful holiday. It was very good value for money. We had friends staying in the annex, but I would have to say I felt it is worth that bit extra money to stay in the main hotel. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel." Mr. & Mrs. Donnelly, Ireland, 12 March 2003

"Excellent place to stay. As an architecture student I needed to get around fast to get all the sights in, with helpful staff, good location in relation to the main train station and metro allowed us to see all that Rome has to offer in a few days and with a safe in our room no worries about our expensive equipment if out at night." RR, 25 February 2003

"We enjoyed our stay at Des Artistes very much and would certainly like to visit again. We always looked forward to coming back to the hotel after our many hours of walking!" ECL, US, 23 February 2003

"Our stay in Rome was enhanced by the friendly and relaxed atmosphere at the Hotel Des Artistes. We will certainly recommend to others." CP London, 21 February 2003

"Excellently located hotel with very comfortable beds and a good breakfast. I haven't stayed anywhere else in Rome, but I don't think I will now! Excellent value for money - particularly out of season. Thank you." Catherine, 14 February 2003

"Hotel Des Artistes is an exceptional value - quiet and comfortable room, great shower, friendly and helpful staff, very clean. We have paid twice as much in Rome for rooms that offered much less. The elevator is somewhat cramped and the reception on the 5th floor is a little inconvenient when checking in, but we were extremely pleased with the hotel and had a great experience there. We would recommend it to anyone as a fine hotel at a very fair price." Bill, 14 February 2003

"A very good hotel with friendly staff, very clean and good value for money. We will be back again and will recommend to our friends. Many thanks for a wonderful time in Rome." N Baylis, J.J.Atkin-day,W.Scheuer, D.Parker,J.A.Atkin-day R.Parr-Burman & K.Stephenson. Lincoln, 12 February 2003

"A very good hotel. Good price & very good standard. We shall definitely stay again. Breakfast was wonderful and plentiful." Chris & Karen Eaton - Kettering, England, 6 February 2003

"A very nice B&B (buffet) hotel in a quiet street, with nicely furnished, comfortable, clean rooms. Close to the Metro and buses, and some nice 'eateries' - would definitely return." JF-England, 4 February 2003

"Hotel Des Artistes is THE ideal place from which to explore Rome. The rooms are clean and excellent value and the staff helpful and friendly." M.C. England, 31 January 2003
