Hotels near Chiesa di San Lazzaro in Rome

Where do I start. DO NOT BOOK TO STAY HERE. Im never one to complain or even leave a review. But i had to with this awful place and terrible customer service. The double bed we had, was 2 metal camping beds pushed together with a thin but SOLID ”mattress” on top. 1 flimsy pillow. Dust mites made my asthma flare up. Stains all over the carpet and our duvet topper. Damp on the ceiling. A telly that doesn't work. No drinking facilities. A rickety lift that only worked to floor 3, not floor 5 where we were put. Dreadful cooked breakfast. Pre wrapped pastry was OK. Rude staff. Far away from any of the sites to see, description of hotel says it is much closer than it actually is. We moved to another hotel after our first dreadful night. And upon complaining, we have received no compensation for anything. Awful customer service. AVOID AT ALL COST.

The hotel is nice but something very very horrible happened to me. On the day I left, I checked out the mini bar I had used at the front desk, and then the front desk asked me if I was going back to China? I say yes. Then 5 hours after I returned to China, I received a deduction of 1503 euros from my credit card... People who know it will naturally understand. It's just that the front desk used my card number to spend. Because foreign countries have a card number and a security code on the back for direct consumption. I can't say that it must be this hotel. But I kept lingering in my mind and he asked me Are you going back to China? I think it's almost a good thing the front desk does. What should be said is not smooth, what should not be said is still to be said, when you pay the deposit abroad in the future, you don’t need to remember to lock the card after the deposit... Warm ⏰ reminder...

In short, good and nothing I’d complain about as such, mostly the bathrooms need a revamp. My card was charged 100 euro before arriving which is apparently a card check but I haven’t received it back (1 week later). If you want to do it like that, take a deposit. I was expecting the 100 euro would be taken off my bill but it wasn’t. Apparently I have to wait. Also on Booking .com it says tax included but it isn’t - they needed 40 euro cash when checking out and needing to run for our flight which I didn’t have. Had to run around finding an atm last minute. My original review is as 4 stars but this marks it down hugely for me. Location - fantastic. We were originally going to stay near Termini (having never visited Rome before) and so so glad we chose here instead. Easy transport links by bus and metro to everything you would need. Right at the walls to the Vatican which was pretty cool (especially as you want to visit the Vatican as early as possible) Staff - Lovely. We didn’t need much anyway but always a smiley face and a Ciao. Helpful with some local restaurant info. Room - not overly impressed. The room itself is nice but some water atleast in the room would be nice since it’s not a super budget hotel. No little shampoo or shower gel etc, just some pump on the wall which isn’t nice. The toilet paper is like plastic napkins and not nice. Bathroom pretty bad in general, shower floods to an extreme and the light flickers. Last thing is the bed sheets need replacing completely. They are clean but stained. Again no real issue, it happens in hotels but would be better to just get rid of them and get new. (Since we weren’t here long, we left do not disturb sign on so can’t say anything bad about the cleaners). Rome in general - book tours to colluseum and Vatican. Visit everywhere early. Vatican, St Peters Done, Colluseum, Palentine Hill and Pantheon are some of the LONGEST queues I’ve seen in any city around the world. If you want people-free photos of Trevi fountain and Spanish steps, you must wake up at 5:30 (we did 1 day just for this. Was worth the reward). 100% would come back to Rome, not sure it would be this hotel as I feel the price was steep for the quality but this area or Trastevere for sure.

The hotel is in good location 7-10 minutes away from the metro and bus stops you can go where you like to walk, if you don't like to walk, I walked the whole rhythm from the hotel was incredibly beautiful. The hotel was clean and helpful for staff, and finally the hungry buffet breakfast was a legend if I came back again, I'd stay here again.

Hotel conveniently located next to The Vatican in a quiet neighbourhood with many restaurants, cafes, clothing stores within a 5-10 minute walk. Hotel staff very professional and friendly. Special mention to Front Desk Agent Chiara Stage who went above and beyond in ensuring we got the most out of our short time there. We had a lovely balcony and a large bathroom. The room was spotless and modern with flat screen tv. The only complaint being that the pillows and matress were too hard for my comfort.

We stayed at Hotel ISA for 12 nights, and couldn't have picked a better location. It was in walking distance to many of the sights, and convenient to the Metro. The breakfast on the terrace was wonderful with a great view and variety of food. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The air conditioning was not on yet (which we found out is normal for Europe this time of year), and we requested a fan for our room. Within an hour or 2 they had delivered a floor fan which was a big help sleeping at night. The room was also equipped with soundproof widows. There are also many restaurants and gelato places near by for convenience. I would like to thank the staff for making our stay great, and I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

This review reflects the opinion/s of my wife and I and is based on our experience only. The room we were given was comfortable, the bed was comfortable, and the linen clean. It was not the most attractive of views from the window which looked out to the rear of the hotel, though this hardly mattered as the view from the hotel is not the reason we were there. Regarding the location, it is a great starting point, and literally just a few minutes stroll to the metro station, a 10 minute walk to the Vatican at a steady pace, and there is a great restaurant just around the corner, turning right out of the hotel, and then first right again. (Separate review coming for that restaurant). Of course, everything else... the famous sites of Rome, is within easy access if jumping on the tram, or if wanting to experience the hidden little side streets dotted with trattorias, ristorantes, or osterias. The down side to this hotel is what most reviews here knock it for, and that is the breakfast. It really isn't the best, and not even particularly good. If nothing else, it just about fills the gap until you reach somewhere that you can fulfil your early morning hunger and grab a decent coffee. The staff, however, are really helpful and polite, and most likely, a little embarrassed about having to set out such breakfasts. There is a fridge with yoghurts in, too, just in case. Overall, the hotel is clean, has a modern interior, a somewhat attractive exterior, but each will have their own opinion about that, and we would stay there again.

The location is great, less 10 mins walk (with luggage) from Roma Termini. Room is clean and spacious (we got free upgrade!!). Supermarket is also quite near. About 20 mins walk to the colosseum. Will stay there again.

I have stayed in the best hotel in this price range in several cities in Italy, right near the Vatican. Although it is a bit far away from the famous attractions in Rome by taxi (in fact, the taxi distance in China is very close), but it is within walking distance from the hotel. The design of the street and the hotel are great. The rooms are large, the TV is large, and the windows can be fully opened for ventilation. The breakfast is also very rich. The only drawback is that there is no shampoo.
