Best Western Globus Hotel

Stayed with family of five(three teens) in this hotel for 9 days. We got a big family room on the 4th floor. We had two double and one sofa bed. They are clean, big and good beds but not sure about the quality of the the sofa bed. The rooms are very clean as they get cleaned daily. There is a kettle and a fridge in the room .We got bottles of sparkling water in our fridge everyday which was very helpful as Rome was really very hot at the time of our stay. Breakfast was good too though it was a bit repetitive. The staff are very helpful. The location is great. Tram number 3 and 19 are 2 minutes walk away from the hotel. Bus number 310 stops right opposite the hotel. The metro station called Policlinco is 7-10 minutes walk from the hotel. So, it wasn't difficult for us to get to where we want to. We didn't need to pay for a taxi at anytime. In short, Hotel Globus is great value for money. The only negative comment is that we were asked at the check-out to pay 180 euros for city tax. We know there was a tax to pay but we didn't expect to be that much. Nevertheless, we might still come back to Globus Hotel. less

We stayed here for a 5 night stay in Rome. The room we had was one ☝🏻 room for a family of 5, which was quite interesting. However, every day our room would be cleaned which was lovely 😊. As well as this, there was quite good free wifi given by the hotel 🏨, and a TV 📺 which had Sky 🌌 and played quite a selection of channels, with 2 of them in English. The hotel did lack on its breakfast 🍳 however, with a lack of variety... but with very nice 👍🏻 melon 🍉 and croissants 🥐 being served. The location is around a 30/40 minute walk from the central station 🚉 in Rome, so we often had to hire a taxi 🚕 at a €10 fee each time. In the area, there is a selection of restaurants, however many were closed, so we didn’t have too much choice and ended up eating from the same 2. less

Stayed here for a 4 night stay in Rome with family. Good points - Room was clean and adequately sized. Breakfast was fresh. Good location to catch the Metro at Policlinico (5 min walk) or catch the number 3 tram (1 min walk away). Staff were friendly and helpful. Areas for improvement - Bathroom furniture was strangely arranged so that it was difficult to go to the toilet without having to put your feet in the shower. It was also unavaoidable to take a shower without flooding the bathroom as the curtain didn't fully encircule the shower tray. Breakfast room was not large enough for the number of people staying in the hotel. less

Comfortable and clean hotel. About 10 steps to climb up when you get there so be warned. Our room was on the 4th floor and had two double beds. Beds were hard but I liked that. 4 Towels were left out for us daily without us having to chase anyone Breakfast was good and there was a limited amount but well replenished. There is a 4 euro per person per day supplement added on. We stayed for 5 extra hours and payed 30 euro for a late checkout. The metro station was about 15 mins walk away. It’s quite hot now in August so you might want to take a cab. The bus doesn’t come often. Hair dryer is in the room and not bathroom. Dove hand wash and shampoo/body wash available in the bathroom. less

My family and I stayed here for 4 nights in early July. Firstly I must say that the hotel itself is lovely and I would give it 4 stars, but if considering location too then 3 stars.The staff are very pleasant, the breakfast was lovely and at €5 pp it was great value for all on offer. We had a family room which was ample in size, for 5 of us and had a fridge which was very handy. We had 2 double beds and a couch opened into a bed too. The air con worked well and was a gift as it was so hot when we were there. The tv had some English channels too which we eventually figured out! You have to go into the settings and change the language, only available on a couple of channels but we weren’t there often enough. Was nice to catch up with Wimbledon when we got home in the evening. My biggest gripe was the location. The subway station was about 10-15 walk and the tram/bus stops a bit closer. You need to buy tickets in advance if getting bus or tram as a few times the tobacconist was closed across from hotel and we had to go to a further one. The metro station is so hot, it was roasting when we were there, which put us off. Also there was an escalator down but not up so there was about 90 steps up to road level when you get off metro. Not great for my dodgy knee! The buses were much cooler but you could be standing ages waiting. The public transport is very lax in comparison to other European countries we’ve been to. No timetable at all. We had the app on our phone and regularly it said bus in 6 minutes and we’d still be waiting 30 minutes later! None of this is the hotels fault of course but worth considering. We felt we would’ve come back to hotel in the afternoon for a rest ,as it was so hot, and go out again in the evening but it was too much hassle with the transport. The University is near and as it was summer it was very quiet area. Not much atmosphere. Places closed early too. Really good hotel but wouldn’t stay again due to the location. less
