MF Hotel

We spent 3 nights in mf hotel.
And as a couple we spend nights and weeks away together very frequently in hotels.

It will be easier to bullet point good and bad views.

Good..

Staff are friendly and always smiling

Location is lovely hidden away from the rustle and bustle but still lots of beautiful places to eat and drink and bus is at the end of the road.

Buses are often at the end of the road, so it is easy to commute, and the walk to the bus/train station is about 20 minutes, but uneven paths are so easier to bus with cases and walk other days.

Bad.

Having a room next to reception, you hear the staff banging around and talking, sneezing, coughing, and making coffees.

you hear the other room toilets, taps, and plumbing systems being used, showers being used, talking, and walking around.

We were woken between 7/7.30am every morning by the above and can hear everyone coming in at night. The receptionist just sat on his phone all night talking on video calls, so all in all, a very noisy experience.

The room was OK had worse but it had out it had outdated furniture,
No tea and coffee facilities shower goes hot and cold no matter what time of day you use it. The bed was hard.

We asked for no cleaner, and they still came into our room as the bin was emptied, which had one thing in it from one days use. I felt that if they were going to ignore a request, then at least change the towels over.
The bed was really hard. So, I didn't sleep well. And only one pillow each.
The shower was coming out of the wall too and very small. So you could noy move away from the water when it went cold or too hot.
Does not look like the photos on this site.

The lift is very outdated and doesn't always work because it's a manual lift that guests need to remember to close the inside doors or it won't move up and down floors. It fits 2 people comfortably but a squeeze with a suitcase.

Reception is on the 3rd floor. All in all, it felt more like a hostel than a hotel.

We didn't risk breakfast due to other reviews and feedback but there are lovely places around for cheaper and beautiful food so we were happy.

I'm prepared for a rude response from the manager as I've seen how they react to other negative feedback on this site. But I needed to be honest.

We were tempted by night 2 to get a different hotel but one more night and we went venice so we just stuck it out.
We didn't select this hotel it was part of a package from Groupon as a 3 day rome and 3 day venice holiday package. But definitely wouldn't have chosen here to stay.

If you are a young student then this place will be perfect for you. Don’t bother if you are a couple and just pay a little extra for a nicer place. We had holes in our towels and water leaked from the top of our toilet. Young people were up most of the night chatting outside our door and then the cleaner also made a racket come 7ish with doors slamming. It is more like a hostel. We never really stay in for long enough to care on a city break but this really wasn’t a great experience all round. I could go on but trust me just pay a little more.

First of all, the hotel is very difficult to find. I saw that it was written somewhere small MF Hotel and the number 3 for the intercom. I called a few times and no one answered. Good luck with a lady who came out and I asked her about the hotel. She helped us in, because we couldn't enter the building without a key or without someone opening it. Then I found out that the hotel is only on the 3rd floor and above. The first floors are not part of the hotel. We managed to reach the so-called reception, which was just a small apartment and we were greeted by the cleaner. He tried to find my name on the booking list, but failed until I showed him where he was. Then he called the receptionist, we waited a while until he arrived, and then he came and gave us the key to a room. The key to the second room was to be given to us after 2 p.m. The room is quite small and cramped, don't expect too much. After all, it's not the size of the room that matters, but the fact that both the towels and the bed linen smelled bad, as if they hadn't been washed in a long time. The elevator, which seems to be falling apart, must have both the inside and the outside door closed, otherwise it will not work. And that's why we got a phone call from the receptionist, who started yelling at us that we only closed the front door, not the inside one.
In conclusion, if you are visiting Rome, I recommend that you find a hotel in the true sense of the word and not a few makeshift apartments, like this one.

Nice neighborhood and that’s all. You won’t even get glasses or something. Breakfast is a joke. Old bread, why not.
