Hotel Laura what can i say:

Good Points:
*Hotel is beside the (Bolonga Metro stop) which makes it easy to get around Rome
*Hotel is clean and tidy

Bad Points:
*Breakfast wasn't worth calling breakfast and you couldn't get what you wanted you had to wait till someone got it for you and in most cases this was the maid who was cleaning a room one min and next serving you your breakfast without washing their hands!!!
*Extra €4 per day room tax which no-one told us about
*Staff aren't helpful at all, seem to be there just for the sake of being there
*Hotel is based on the 4th and 5th Floors of a building (never came across this before and found the hotel hard to find on first arrival
*Found the hotel very nosiey at night so the walls most of been made of paper!!
*Also in our room at night the lights keep on turning on and off in the middle of the night which was very annoying when your trying to sleep.

Few more points but am not going to continue and make myself angry again!!

Loved Rome and enjoy my time there but will not be back at Hotel Laura or will not be recommending it to people to stay in.

The Hotel Laura is literally just a few yards from the Bolonga metro stop, making it convenient to get around Rome. The room was comfortable, had the much-needed air conditioning, and was fairly priced at 70E.

The breakfast was worthless, just bread (of various types), tea, and coffee. Someone had to get you what you wanted to drink, which was annoying. Sometimes I wonder why hotels even bother, other than they can advertise they have "breakfast." No real complaint, though, as we had no great expectation for their breakfast and therefore were not disappointed. But don't be fooled by the "free breakfast" advertised.

What was disappointing - and this is where Hotel Laura gets a complete and total "Zero" - was the rudeness of one of the employees. My friend and I had checked out, but left our bags at the hotel for a few hours, collecting them later. No problem there.The hotel is on the fourth floor of the building. We needed to rearrange some of the items in our luggage, and since we had already checked out, we did this in a discreet corner of the street level lobby. (There is nothing in this lobby, it's merely an entrance.) We were not even in view of the front door.

One of the Hotel Laura employees came in from the street and immediately yelled at us. I mean YELLED. He was screaming about how we have no respect for the hotel. (Please recall that this is not a hotel lobby; the hotel is four floors away.) He asked us if we understood him, as he was speaking Italian. Yes, we speak Italian too, but the man would not stop shouting for us to even answer!

So, Hotel Laura, I will agree to never disrespect you again. And you will agree to never have my business again. On our next visit to Rome in October, we will stay elsewhere.

Hotel Laura is situated away from the historical center of Rome, but this is not so much of a disadvantage, because it is located just in front of the Metro station, and is also served by bus n. 62 which stops at the Vatican city. You can reach the city center within 20 minutes with the metro, 15 minutes by bus and 10 minutes by taxi (costs about 12 euro at night tariff).
In the neighborhood you can find a couple of ice-cream places, a supermarket, a pastry shop and some other nice and cheap stores.

The hotel itself occupies floors 4 and 5 of an old building which only has a 4-person elevator.
The rooms are small but clean and feature TV and mini-bar.
No wireless internet is offered, but if you get a room with street view you may steal internet from a neighbor!
The breakfast is limited to orange juce, coffee, cereals, croissants, marmelade and milk.
The staff is helpful and kind.
All in all, Laura hotel is a good choice if you are looking for a cheap, quiet, convenient but not fancy hotel. Rome is a fantastic city, so who cares so much about the hotel?

Positive about the hotel: Cheap, good location with the subway just outside the door. Takes about 5-10 min to go to Colesseum for exampel. Bus nr 62 leaves från Bologna just 2 min away from the hotel. Takes you straight to St Peters and other parts of the city.
Other similair hotels closer to the city are much more expensive. Perfect to stay in if you just need a place to sleep and take a shower in. We spend all day enjoying Rome :)
Very little tourists in the area and more locals. Good food places around with just locals there.

Negative about the hotel: Small rooms. Bad breakfast (just some dry bread). The staff is not the most service minded people but still ok.
