“Great location, good value and customer service.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

The hotel is located on the third floor of a typical Italian building, with a doorway leading into a courtyard and winding staircase around a lift. The location is ideal, near to Nationale, which is one of the main shopping areas. There are many local, reasonable restaurants nearby. The hotel is located between the Colluseum and Trevi fountain, each of which being about ten minutes walk away.
Once inside the hotel it is definately worth more than two stars, it was exceptionally clean and all staff were eager to help in any way they could. The rooms were a good size and well decorated. The breakfast was a continental style with a choice of hot drinks, croisants, brioche, cereals, simple fruit salad and juice.
I would definately stay here again and if you are looking for a clean, simple hotel in a good location I would certainly recommend.

“Great hotel near everything”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

Maximillian was our host and very helpful. Small room, small shower but a nice hotel right in the middle of it all. We walked to all the main sights except for a bus ride to Vatican City. Breakfast was basic but satisfying.
No WiFi and we could only find one English tv channel.
Very thin walls; bring your ear plugs.
Est! Est! Est! is a restaurant nearby that has very good, reasonably priced food and house wine.

“ROME - GALATEA! 2 star? WAY BETTER THEN ADVERTISED!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

What can i say... That hasn't been said. Had an amazing time in Rome and this hotel was perfect! We were only here for 3 nights (me and my GF) but could have stayed a few more. We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel for being a 2 star. It is DEFFFFFFF way better then a 2 star!! The old building has so much charm to it. Really makes you feel like you're in Italy. The small lift is perfect after a long day of walking when you don't need to climb more stairs lol.

Air Condition worked amazing (almost too good had to shut off a few times in night) , the bathroom was very new and super clean. Bed was firm but I prefer a strong mattress.

So close to a lot of attractions and a skip to the subway system (which was very easy to use).

Staff soooo soooo helpful and spoke great English. It was so nice to have someone there 24hours if we needed anything.

I will definitely be back and staying at the Galatea, as well as recommending to any of my friends and family that are traveling to Rome!

“We Love it!!! Would stay there again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

Great place to stay in a central location. It is exactly how advertised but better. Great staff at the front desk. Julio, one of the staff, really gave us the VIP treatment. He helped us book our next hotels in Florence, recommended incredible local cuisine, and setup reservations for us at restaurants. The room was big and CLEAN. The bathrooms were big and clean. Great location, walking distance to everything. Or if you know how to use the bus or subway, stops for both were just a few blocks away. It was in a safe area and quiet street. We loved our stay here and would stay again.
