Crowne Plaza ROME - ST.PETER'S

Visit to this hotel was as follows: The shuttle bus was not run for holiday maker schedules but convenient to hotel. Breakfast - was described as "American Style" not quite the same as an American Style Buffet ! Rooms needed updating and Tea/Coffee facilities were not stocked on a daily basis. Reception - could not speak good English and therefore unable to offer any other suggestions or ideas. Would not qualify for a 4* hotel only 3* refurb works were ungoing in reception and we weren't informed.

We enjoyed the short walk to the shops and restaurants near by. Having free shuttle bus from the hotel to the city center at specific scheduled time is nice.

An absolute treasure not far from the Vatican. Excellent service and amenities.

This was a family trip. We spent most of our time in Rome. The positives were that the staff was friendly and helpful. They helped make sure that tour vouchers were printed up and called tour companies to arrange pick ups. The downside was that the restaurant food was very expensive and of very poor quality.There is only one other restaurant within walking distance(good food but poor service).The shuttle bus to Vatican City is only in the morning and once it is filled your out of luck and have to catch a taxi (10 Euros) to Vatican City. You're also on your own to get back to the hotel in the afternoon(another 10 Euros) The shuttle to the center city doesnt start until 4 pm. You can get to center Rome by walking through vatican city to pick up the Metro into Rome (Metro ticket is 1 Euro each way per person) If I had to do it over again, I would have booked a hotel in the center of Rome.Then we would have had more restaurant choices and easier access to sites.Also there is one hotel gift shop at the hotel which is not always open,even when it is supposed to be.

The hotel has all of the creature comforts you could want while on vacation. They off a shuttle service that takes you down town. There is also a taxi stand on the premises. They also have a contract with a tourist agency that will pick you up from the hotel and take you to their location.

The hotel was good .the staff was very nice and hepl full .the hotel is not to close to town but they have a bus transportation that was good.

the trip was great we saw many beautiful and ancient sites in rome. the staff at the hotel were very helpful and we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend staying there.

Crowne Plaza was a great disappointment to us. The location was not convenient and the free shuttle turned out to be first come, first serve with no second trips. Although, it was indicated that you could walk into a small town nearby, it would have been a dangerous trip, with no sidewalks and a busy, narrow street. The hotel has an indoor pool which required you to buy their flip-flops to enter and wear a shower hat like the ones usually offered in the room. The casual dining area was dirty and no one wanted to wait on you! The one staff person worth mentioning was a bar tender who was friendly and informative. My recomendation is that he be promoted to the Manager position and we then hope that he makes major changes to the policies, ambiance and staff to make this a decent hotel. Otherwise, we would never stay there again!

We stayed at this hotel because of the free shuttle to the Vatican and downtown areas and the swimming pool for the kids. In order for your kids to swim in the indoor pool they must be at least 16 years old. The outdoor pool doesn't open until sometime in May, so the kids had nothing to do when we returned from a long day of sightseeing. Also, the free shuttle runs every four hours, but picks up and drops off at different places, so we would end up having to take a taxi home every day which runs about 13 Euros per trip. There is no breakfast places near by, so on the first day we were forced to eat at the restaurant. We ended up paying 18 Euro per person to eat. That's about 100 American dollars for 4 people. The breakfast is not worth it. Nice rooms, friendly staff, but I wouldn't take a family there.

Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl in diesem Hotel.Mein Mann war vorher 1 Woche im Mariott Hotel,welches für Ihn viel schlechter war. Die meisten Angestellten waren sehr nett und zuvorkommend. In Rom sind die Leute allgemein nicht überschwenglich freundlich .Aber ich denke wie man in einen Wald ruft kommts zurueck und wen man sich noch mühe gibt Italienisch zu sprechen dan geht fast alles.... Die Lage war für uns optimal.Am morgen nahmen wir den Hotelshuttelbus um 9.00 uhr und waren den ganzen Tag unterwegs.Der Shuttelbus ging alle 3/4 Stunden.Wenige Meter vor dem Hotel halten zudem noch 2 Buslinien. Das Zimmer war für uns o.k.Wir hatten 2 Grosse Doppelbetten.Das Badezimmer hatte eine Dusche-Bademöglichkeit wobei man das Bad nicht mit unseren vergleichen kann.Die Spülung klemmte einwenig und nach 6 Tagen war ich froh wieder bei mir zu Hause zu duschen.Komfort mässig.Italien halt.Wir würden aber wieder in dieses Hotel gehen,da wir den Spa Bereich nicht austesten konnten.P.s dennBus fanden wir super.Leider fährt der letzte schon um 21.15 zurück ins hotel.Dann nahmen wir ein taxi.P.S für den Shuttle vom Flughafen zum Hotel bezahlt man gleichviel oder sogar etwas mehr bei 4 Personen.Unter 4 kommts einem mit dem Shuttle günstiger...
