Hotel Salaria, Rome

The hotel is old and a little run down. Very close to the new Rome LDS Temple. Price was very good

When I am in Rome again I plan to stay at this hotel and this write-up is based on an 11 night stay. My single room was large and comfortable with a double bed - not something you normally get in a European hotel and the AC worked very well. Complimentary breakfast includes good orange juice, cereals and hard boiled eggs in addition to a large variety of pastries and yogurts. There is no espresso bar but the coffee machines provided deliver good strong coffee once you learn how they work. Staff is very pleasant and accommodating. Free parking is ample. As opposed to what I noted in older reviews, the place is very clean as are the rooms. The only negative is that the free WiFi did not operate in the rooms I and my son had. It did work in the dining area and adjacent sitting room and supposedly in the main area of the hotel as well. I was not really affected as a T-Mobile customer because I received good service anyway given T-Mobile's presence in Italy. However, my son as a Verizon customer had to pay Verizon's tab of $10 a day for internet service but given the pricing of rooms this hotel is still a bargain. The staff tried to fix the WiFi to cover our rooms but was unable to do so for any consistent period of time. If you are not driving this MOTEL is not for you since there is nothing of interest within a short walking distance and the center of Rome is approximately a 20 minute drive away. On the other hand access to the airports, and highways is excellent.
