Hotel Raganelli in Rome

We stayed at the hotel for two nights, initially we booked a hotel with parking, the hotel coped with this task by 5. It takes 20-26 minutes to get to the metro at a fast pace, 6-7 stops to the center without transfers, but you walk to the metro along a very narrow, dirty path along the road. At first glance, the hotel is clean, but we were apparently unlucky with room 108, it is on the first floor near the reception, an additional door does not protect from listening to the conversations of the staff, it is also impossible to open it, the reception workers and guests like to talk on the phone for hours in the shade under the windows. The bedside lamp in the room did not work - we fixed it ourselves, on one side the bed just groans when using it, the door to the bathroom does not close from the side of the room, the toilet flush button is broken, because of which you need to make an effort to stop the flow of water, the shower is leaking, we forgot to put the water in, as well as replenish cosmetics, when checking in, the towels were terribly old. Breakfast is sufficient, there is a nice terrace and a lady at the reception.

Parking problematic with only 6 usable spots in front of the hotel. Had to park in the street and walk about 6 minutes to the hotel.

The mattresses are uncomfortable very hard.

The shower has no towel racks. Towelb racks were too far from shower/tub. No towel hooks anywhere.

Had to use teeth to unwrap the round soap bar. Impossible to open by hand.

The heavy bathroom window's top hinge was broken. Split unit AC does not respond to remote commands but that happens at most Italian hotels.

Breakfast reference the hotel: it was good with a lot of choices including many types of cereal, oatmeal, soy milk, boiled and scrabbled eggs, yogurt, slided cheese ,, wheat sliced bread and wheat rolls, Cappucino,v espresso, latte... machine, 4 excellent jams, honey, bananas, mozzarella balls, etc.

Please fix the little issues and make it better. We'll keep coming back to Italy. This is our third year in a row despite the hotel imperfections anywhere we stay.

Staff were friendly and helpful with a smart reception area. Our double room was comfortable, but some of the fixings such as socket covers were missing, the towel rail was hanging off by a screw. Some finishing/ updating works are needed. Location is outside the Rome centre, but by catching a bus to get to a nearby metro station, you can then take the metro into the heart of Rome. Stayed 2 nights and slept poorly on the first night- due to people that seemed to be talking right outside our bedroom door into early hours. Second night was a restful sleep. Overall good value, but next time visiting Rome, I will pay a bit more to stay closer to the shops or main monuments.
