We didn't get the room that we booked on-line because it was not available anymore. The room was very small, dark and almost claustrophobic. Bathroom was very small and without windows. Breakfast was not exceptional and you have to pay if you get a second coffee! Rates are too high compared to the overall quality.

Orange Hotel is a new hotel located near the Vatican and Castel San Angelo. Room was small, but very clean, with good bathroom, mini bar, TV and safe. Some street noise, but not bad. Breakfast was not the best, but OK. They do charge for coffee after your first cup. The staff spoke English and were extremely helpful and friendly. The rates were very good for the area. We would stay here again.

My wife and I stayed in Suite 308 at The Orange Hotel for our wedding anniversary. The room had a double aspect. We got a price of ?205.00 per night on hotels.com. Positives Great location, close to The Vatican only 5 mins walk from St. Peters Sq. Rooms were clean & tidy Roberto the guy on the front desk who was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable with good English Rooftop terrace was interesting Huge bath in the room Effective A/C Negatives Rooms were very noisy with traffic (but I think you will get that in most central Rome hotels). Rooftop terrace was locked early in the evening No bar Mini-bar was pricy General Observations Breakfast was basic, but OK. Be prepared for lot's of orange in the rooms, that's why it's called the Orange Hotel TV Channels for English were usual Sky News, BBC News and not much else Limited Parking Limited access for disabled travellers Tips for travellers Get a bus ticket for ?16 from the Red bus tour people - (110 Open), gives you hop on/hop off all day long at all the major tourist attractions. Closest stop to the hotel is just in front of St. Peters Sq on Via Della Concilliazione. Make sure you have plenty of cash as they often don't have change and won't let you ride unless you have the correct money. There is a good shopping street running parallel to Via Cresenzo with some good mens shirt shops and cafe bars (Via Cola di Rienzo). Wander over to Pia Borgo where there are some nice restaurants where you can sit in the street (be aware that if you are non-smoker, you will be surrounded by smokers as you cannot smoke inside as per UK). This will remind you of a typical Italian street and has a lovely atmosphere at night and on a Saturday morning. Can recommend a lovely patisserie on Pia Borga which did lovely coffee, pastries and other tasty bits for breakfast. There is also a Scottish themed pub which serves McEwans lager, Guinness and other beverages if you get fed up on Peroni! If you go to The Trevi fountain, there is a lovely traditional family run Pizza restaurant just opposite, which is very reasonably priced. Overall The Orange Hotel met expectations, it's good to use as a base if you want something a bit different, but not so suitable if you like to sit in public areas, sipping coffee with hotel staff waiting on you.
