Travellers Reviews


Submitted by jim noonan, United Kingdom

Hotel Le Petit was a wonderful place to stay. Anyone staying there should realise that it's a small place, just a floor of a lovely building, but it's very clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful. If you're a middle class traveller who just needs a very comfortable and well positioned base it's ideal. Just outside is a great tabachi, followed by a superb delicattessen and bar and a lovely restaurant. It's really well placed for the metro and you only have to walk to see either the main sites or access great backstreets with a eide range of restaurants and cafes. Go for it.

great stay, we'd stay there again and Rome was stunning

Need to clarify the difference between the real balcony room and the small balcony rooms

Staff was always available and polite.
The remote control did not work properly but was never replaced.
The telephone did not work.
The room permitted too much noise from the street. WAY too much noise.
Rooms were extremely clean and cozy.
Breakfast was quite enjoyable.
Extremely convinient to transportation.

Please work on the noise. It was really bothersome at times.

Charming and well located hotel. Quite affordable.

very happy with hotel and staff
have already put a recommendation on trip advisors web site - only down side (although wouldnt stop me using hotel again) was a lot of noise from street due to volume of traffic. Would request room on the other side of hotel next time.

Staff also contacted our taxi service to book our return journey to airport for us
...
Staff very helpful and looked after our bags from checkout time which allowed us full day to continue our sightseeing before having to go to airport.

Hotel Le Petit - Magnifique!

A small, nice city-hotel near to the termini station and the tube. Good for a stay in Rom for a few days to visit the sights of this beautiful city.
Single disadvantage: the noise from the traffic on the street. But that's normal: it's a city-hotel.

My partner and I were a little worried when we arrived at the hotel entrance as building work was taking place. This work made the entrance very untidy and at times noisy - I understand this needed doing but it made you think the hotel was in a state of disrepair.

The breakfast facilities was very basic - I would like to see more selection, maybe a selection of cold meats and cheeses for a continental breakfast. Maybe croissants and cereal is a typically Italian breakfast??

Small but tidy with a basic breakfast. Nicely situated near the Metro.

We had made a reservation for a driver from the hotel to pick us up at the airport. He was not there upon our arrival. We called the hotel who called his cell phone and said he WAS there. After a few more phone calls and 45 minutes of waiting, we ended up taking a taxi. This was not a great way to start the trip.
...
The room was VERY small. This is not a big problem, but it certainly appeared more spacious on the website. The one issue that was important was that the bed was so hard that it was extremely uncomfortable - almost as hard as sleeping on the floor.
...
Excellent location - one block away from the metro and within walking distance from many sites. Helpful and friendly staff and reasonable prices. Be aware that the rooms are small. Unfortunately, the fact that the bed was so incredibly hard would make me suggest looking for another hotel in the same area.

We did not get a balcony as I had specifically requested nor a discount. OUr room was adequate altough very small and the shutters did not open so it was very dark. Otherwise the hotel was fine.

The telephones were not working which meant one of our party had to go home early as he had to work on-line and could not plug his computer in. As mentioend above we got no balcony despite my specific request and confirmation. Our shutters would not open. Also one of teh receptionists mentioned a local restaurant EVERY time we saw him - it got quite annoying as he must have had a connection with the owners - he was pushing it quite hard.

no problems

It is very central and close to Piazza Republica - good connectiosn into the centre. It is up four floors in a lift.

Small and friendly with good connections on the metro. BUt the rooms are very small and our room was onto a mail street so it was noisy. It was fairly cheap so we thoughth it was good value for money but it was a shame the phone lines were broekn as that meant one of out party had to go home early to finish work!

Unfortunately I arrived at the same time as another couple, who unfortunately, did not get the room they requested - the receptionist was too busy with them to really help me all that much...plus, the phones were not working, and he wasn't able to direct me to a place where the phones did work...the phones didn't work for the entirety of my stay...
...
There was some street noise, which I expected...however, there was also quite a lot of noise from inside as well...the breakfast room (which seemed to be a lounge for all hours) was located directly outside my door, and if there wasn't a noisy party going on, then the tv was on loud - all of which I heard perfectly from my room...didn't make for a particularly restful stay...

They were very helpful for my checkout, as I had to leave very early in the morning and they arranged for a cab to take me to the airport...that was excellent, and I appreciated it very much
