Hotel Caravel

The rooms were a very good size and spotlessly clean, and the 24-hour reception service was a plus. Breakfast was also really good with alot of options. However, there is no cafeteria inside the hotel or nearby, which was inconvenient. Also, the vending machine only accepts coins—it would be better if more facilities were available for guests.

Overall had lovely time in Rome

A little disappointing for a 4 star hotel. Don't get me wrong, the hotel was clean (apart from the downstairs toilet), our room was clean upon arrival, good size and a very comfy bed. The room was cleaned faithfully every day where we were given fresh towels without requesting them. What lets it down is the breakfast and the downstairs toilet (definitely needs a little tlc/touch up).

Breakfast was very poor and super,super basic. The two out of four days that we did stay in and have breakfast,consisted of toast & jam as nothing else looked appealing. The pastries/cakes were not fresh as we found out on the first day after taking a bite into a stale pastry. The coffee machine could have done with a good clean too.

Paying tax on rooms, I get it, but I would recommend that the hotel charged you upon checking in, rather than checking out so you knew where you were with finances.
We paid 60 euros for 4 nights.

Yes, the hotel is a bit out of the main city but there are loads of local, frequent buses (you could buy a day pass or tap on as you go , which worked out at £1.30 ) and they got you to all the main areas. Ubers and taxis were fairly priced too. Reception staff kindly told us which buses to get, but the main ones are 30, 160 and 714.

I do have to mention a little hidden gem restaurant, just a 5 minute walk from the hotel - 'Enoteca'. The food was out of this world (my partner is a chef and sometimes hard to please) but even he was thrilled with all the dishes we had! Definitely recommend visiting there.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this hotel, just a few minor changes/upgrades and this hotel could be pretty special.

We stayed for 4 nights and our stay was average due to so many factors mostly related to room as for the first time when we checked in the room was not adequately cleaned and have to ask for a room move so the receptionist did the change the room but have to come down to collect the key for it on the same floor after entering the room we found it was clean enough but I assume there were not enough amenities present in the room for a 4 star property like iron, iron board, water bottle, kettle, cooler/fridge. I’ve to request for a kettle as we travelling with a toddler and need hot water for feed and to sterilise the feeders. The receptionist accommodated the request after a hesitation as her other colleague seemed not very accommodating by looking at her body language. On the 3rd day I had to call the reception and asked about the cleaning policy of the hotel as the linen was not changed. So have to ask to change the linen in the room. The breakfast was average and mostly continental. It consisted of cereals, cakes, pastries, yoghurt, fruits, cold cuts, cheese, bread and butter, tea and coffee, juices, sparkling and still water, scrambled egg (very hard), bacon and cocktail sausages. Late check out was extended only for an hour. The hotel restaurant is only open for few hours and on certain days. But the restaurant close to the hotel is very nice and food served was very tasty. There are not enough restaurants around the hotel. Care four and Pam superstore is on walkable distance. The bus stop is at 5 min walking distance to go to the centre and if you’re visiting for site seeing. Overall I would rate the hotel as a 3 star instead of 4.

I stayed at this hotel every month, for 5 months in a row.
Great service (maybe breakfast could be better for a 4*, but that's a detail), nice people at the desk all the time.

The rooms are tidy and clean.
Never had a reason to complain.

Only drawback is the location, but I really recommend this.
A very good choice.

Hotel itself is very good. Breakfast is varied although the juice wasn't 100% fresh. The staff were friendly and willing to help with any query. The room was very clean and well maintained. My only quip is the location. It is on a bus route and the buses are frequent but are often very crowded and when you are a walking stick user it can be a very uncomfortable ride. If I could pick up this hotel and move it into central Rome, it would be perfect

Really nice hotel, lovely rooms cleaners cleaned them every morning, food at the hotel was really nice specially the dinner menu, location was fine hotel is 15 mins from the centre, the bus route is perfect 5 minute walk from hotel. Also lovely little shops outside around the hotel with great food choices and breakfasts. I would defiantly stay at the Caravel Hotel again. Thank you 😊

It's not super central but the transport is decent and I haven't waited more than 10 mins for a bus ride to any of the popular tourist attractions (max 15 mins away). Service is fabulous, rooms are clean not sure what more you could want!

The hotel serves well, especially since I was with such a large group. But nevertheless it worked out well, and it served me as I stayed in Rome. The staff are great, and the bathroom was nice. I praise them for the fact that they have soap for showering. Very nice. Otherwise, the bidets made it feel even more European.
