Hotel is very outdated. I thought I was checking into a old nursing home. A/C didn't work in room, made front desk aware of problem and they forgot to notify engineering. I was at the point of finding another hotel, but my wife convinced me not to sense our stay was for I night. We decided to stay out till 2:00am just to not see this property. Never again and not worth the price.

I would like to thank Stephon, he was so helpful and kind very efficient with helping us directions, helping me try to book another day. Overall he is great. Enjoyed my stay at Donna Laura, felt like home. I'm from the USA and he made us feel at home. Hotel is close to everything you need. Stephon also helped me get a drive to take us to the Airport. Thank you again for such a wonderful stay. Loved Donna Laura stayed four days.

Not worth the cost, disappointed

We were so excited for this stay as it was my 56th birthday and we traveled from Canada for our first Italy trip. The room was not as described as my picture will show. Smaller than stated with out a balcony. I had book a superior room but got the classic. Mentioned to the guy working the desk and he said I was in a superior. Talked to the lady working the desk two days later and she graciously offered to move us. Thank you. We were on our final night and kept the classic room because it was late and we were exhausted. The neighborhood was great with local crowd restaurants, the place was clean and close to the metro. I left feeling disappointed and way over charged. 400 Canadian a night. Also contacted the hotel via email only to get ignored. 👎👎 Fix an issue and I’ll give a great review.

Best value and best overall stay in Rome

Over the last 35 years, I have been in Rome 4 times and this one turned out to be the best as my Italian student found this gem near the train station, the Vatican and even the Olympic stadium where we saw Christiano Ronaldo played for Yuventus! The rooms are clean, quiet as it is set back from the busy road next to the river, and complimentary breakfast was sumptuous. The price of the room was quite a bit below what you would expect from such a quality stay. Five-star for sure in value. Would come back again on my next trip.

Leaky pipe(s) were reported on the first day of stay. They never were fixed. Water was leaking under the tub so that after each shower we had to collect water from the floor so it won't rush to the room.
Restaurant on the premise is not reliable. It was closed for dinner two times with no advance notice or sign that it will be closed. We had to search for places to eat late in the evening.

Great location

10 minutes walk from the metro - so near enough to everything but away from the noise and bustle of the touristy areas - can also walk to everywhere. Roof terrace bar was unfortunately closed when we were there, but it looks great. However, a nice garden to sit in. The room's balcony was great. Service was superb - nothing was too much to ask for. Room was clean and perfectionally functional. Clean and well equipped. I'd definitely stay there again. Thank you for a great stay. Grazie mille!

Hotel was really nice the only down fall was no tea or coffee in the room and we were told the wrong time for breakfast, fortunately we were down on time to just catch it before the staff very quickly cleared every thing, we did notice a couple came down a little later and were turned away. This was the man on reception giving out the wrong times.

A nice hotel yo stay out of the crowd.

Donna Laura's hotel is a nice place to stay away from the crowded tourist area. It is a 20 to 30 minutes walk to the Vatican. The Tever river sidewalk across the street of the hotel will take you directly to the Vatican and the St Michael Castle plus other amenities. The healthy dinner buffet is great. But you also can order meals a la cart. Breakfast is a joy...it has a good variety to choose from. My favorite was coffee and croasants. The staff is very, very attentive to make you feel at home. Multiples languages communication assistance. Very pleased we did stay in this hotel.

4 out of 5 hotel

This is a pretty good example of a nice 4 out of 5 hotel. Great for couples or families. We got a good price and the staff were friendly. Ate at the little dinner buffet alot. In the morning they had a great selection of breakfast food, again, buffet style.

Rooms are well lit and big enough for 2 to 3 people. Spoke English well enough and cordial. Would recommend to friends and family. Maybe the only drawback is that it is about a 15 min walk to the bus and train terminal. Also could use more heating elements for the dinner buffet as the food was kinda cold. Other than that highly recommended esp for the price!

Average at best

The room was clean, but tight. Better suited for a short stay. The air conditioner in our room was very noisy, so it couldn't be turned up. In addition, the hotel automatically turns the air off at midnight, so you get hot. Especially if you take a shower! It takes a while for the heat and steam to go away. Can't open the window because it's on a very busy street and it got stuck open once, so afraid to touch it. Some of the staff was rude and/or would not look at you at all. Stingy with in room coffee and no coffee cream. Housekeeping was ok, did not refresh toilet paper and coffee last day. Had to use Kleenex. Very nice female at desk that was very helpful. Breakfast staff helpful. Hard to find someone to help you in lounge, always a wait. Breakfast was ok. Overall, an average stay at best.

Not far fromTrevi Fountain. Vatican City a cab or Uber ride at about 17 euros. Uber drivers much more professional and friendlier. Although, did have a good cab driver booked through the hotel. Arranged taxi rides are more professional drivers. 55E to airport by taxi, $65 w/ Uber.

Safe, secure and clean accommodations.

The hotel is nice. Check-in was so efficient, it seemed like a rush. Our room was ready early and we spent maybe 3 minutes at desk, which is really nice. Ludovica, at reception, was super helpful. She was a delight. The air conditioner went out at least once during the day and each of 3 nights. It is controlled by hotel staff, so by second night, we would call at 1-2 am and tell them we needed the a/c on. They did it. Breakfast was okay. Same eggs and bacon each day, with many other options. First day, there were 2 options for fresh fruit, but only 1 on subsequent days. Convenient 10 minute walk to metro. Not many dinning options in area. Overall, room was @4.

Loved this hotel very clean and newly decorated

When I saw the pictures online I wasn't 100% keen as green isn't my favourit colour but once you arrive it's in a beautiful location near the river and all newly decorated like it's just been painted. Room wasnt very large and you get normal sized double bed which is very comfy. Room and bathroom very well kept and cleaned with fresh towels and bed linen every day. spa is free for half hour use but you can book this privately too for €20 an hour which we did. Nice to have private sauna and hot tub plus we got glass of champagne and fruit platter included which was lovely one thing I would say was hot tub was not very hot at all so we got 50% discount. Hotel staff friendly and went out of there way to help. Location is perfect just outside the main hussle of Rome and only 15 mins from Trevi fountain we walked everyday but metro is only 5 mins walk away at the next bridge on the river. Do try terrace for dinner it's Beautiful at night plus a lovely little restaurant only 2 mins away which garden terrace aswell. All good priced!

Good - Enjoyable stay

We enjoyed out stay at the Laura Donna in September 2015, this was a good base to see Rome. About a 10 min walk to the Metro and buses. It is a long walk to the Castle and Vatican. Breakfast adequate and the same every day with no fresh fruit. The roof terrace restaurant served a good meal but only eat here one night. Limited choice of restaurants near to the hotel (only found 3). We also went back on the Metro and eat near the Trivi Fountain as easy to get to and a bit more lively with lots of restaurants to choose from. Overall a very good hotel which helped make our stay in Rome great.

Average stay

This was nice. Nothing spectacular. Advertised as a 4 star but not really. It could use some upgrading. The staff were friendly and helpful. However our biggest disappointment was the advertised spa and dinner deal. We were lead to believe it would be spa treatment but shown to a dark room with a hot tub and a key. We were also told it would be a 3 course dinner for a flat rate but provided a menu with prices for all items, when we inquired we were then told the 3 courses were appetiser, main and coffee... coffee alone is not a course as far as I am aware. The waiter was kind enough to give us a slice of cake instead of the coffee. Fair enough location. Overall an average stay.

Ideal for Vatican / Rome centre

Hotel is ideal for sight seeing 30 mins walk to Vatican nice clean hotel staff were great .
We were moved on arrival due to over booking but we were moved to nice hotel for 1 night , nice driver to transfer us and next day they transferred our luggage back so our day didn't get interrupted.
We were promised an upgrade for the hassle but that didn't happen but not really a problem as we were to tired at night to care.
Wouldn't recommend eating in restaurant expensive and not a lot of choice but there are great restaurants 5 mind walk around the corner.

OK to slightly disappointing.

Average hotel, situated just outside city centre.
Guests should be prepared for a walk into the city centre, though walking back at night should be done with care.
Breakfast Ok, better get there early though as tables slow to be cleaned and limited tables leading to overflow. We came down at 9.30 and were jostling for a table, then settling down for one with uncleared plates and cutlery. Had to ask them to clear it away, but to be fair they looked overrun.
There is a gym and sauna, but these can be hired out entirely. We called to enquire to use, receptionist said she would call back and let us know but this did not happen.
We requested a quiet room, were told at reception that they put us in a room at the back, but this was not the case. Room looked onto main road, most at the hotel are anyway, so there was a lot of noise. Traffic was busy, the windows are double glazed but the noise seem to cut right through. Definitely not for light sleepers!
The room was clean enough but definitely snug in size compared to the pictures available we saw prior to booking.

10 minutes flat walk to Piazza Populi

The ground floor room was spacious; continental breakfast lovely; and the lounge/bar/waiting room very comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. You need to feel comfortable/fit enough to walk 10 minutes to get to the start of 'old Rome' at Piazza Populi. The walk is pleasant and flat - cross onto the other side of the river on Ponti Mattias (bridge) when walking to the city - more pleasant and less traffic. Vatican city is only 20 minutes walk away - again cross the bridge, walk along the river and cross back - this route is much easier than going cross-country from the hotel to the Vatican. Once you leave the Piazza the streets are pretty empty - few people - keep that in mind if you are walking back in the dark. Otherwise a cheap taxi ride will get you home. The hotel itself was very quiet even though there was traffic on the street outside during the week.

Hotel well located for St. Peter's Square, close to the river and short walk from the metro station.

Recommend but ONLY When There's a Deal

The hotel was very nice. The front desk staff was efficient but a bit \"upity\" - I felt that because I had booked via Hotels.com I wasn't their \"normal guest\" because I had gotten the room at a very competitive price. Therefore I wasn't worthy of a higher standard of service. I felt they placed me in a very small room with no view for that reason.

Highly recommended

Donna Laura Palace is a great place to stay in Rome. It is in a nice neighborhood and really close to all of the main attractions - only 2 stops away on the metro from the Spanish Steps! For the price that you pay, the hotel is of great value. It is very clean, has a complimentary breakfast in the morning and the rooms are quite large for European standards. This hotel is lovely, and one of the best deals you can find in Rome.

No Palace

Hotel was not located near St. Peter's - which is deceiving. It was a bit shabby and my room was very noisy. I had a difficult time sleeping. Staff was nice at desk though... Overall it was not bad for the price.

Noisy

They placed me on the ground floor, the walls are rather thin and I could hear the conference going on in the basement as well as the sound of anyone checking in. The staff was friendly and sympathetic, but could only offer the room adjacent to the one I currently occupied, which did not help me.

There was an overuse of perfume or some other odour reducing agent that was a bit overwhelming in the room.

Overall, it was a good deal, but I would have booked elsewhere had I known about the noise issues

Good combination of price, comfort and locale

The staff was helpful from the start, storing our bags until check-in. Francesca was especially pleasant and helpful. The rooms, though small, were nicely appointed, and the small balconies were an especially nice touch. Taxis were readily available, and no destination in the city center was more than a 12 euro ride away...there is also an easy walk to the Metro.
All in all, a very pleasant experience!

decent value for money

we had booked two rooms and arrived early. Were given one room right away so we could stow our luggage and get refreshed.Rooms quite small but very clean.However the aircon was not working and despite requests no one bothered to come to help fix the problem. As we were leaving very early next morning did not get a chance to sample the breakfast.However were given a very meagre packed snack in lieu of bfast including some dry packaged toast,a packet of jam and chocolate spead with a small cup of yogurt.

Good hotel with all you need

Front desk staff overall were very helpful and kind, although there were a couple who may not be fully versed in what being in the service industry is about. Traveled as a single person. Got a room on the first floor, no balconies on that floor overlooking the Tiber river as the hotel states. That must be reserved for non-single travelers. The room was nice, clean, had everything you needed and good WiFi most of the time. Breakfast was a good start to the day. Quiet neighborhood on the weekends, busy during the workweek, the location was OK.. About a 10 minute walk to Lepanto metro station and about 20 to Saint Peter's Square / Vatican. After sightseeing all day, that walk from the Vatican feels long. Everywhere else you want to go is on the other side of the Tiber (e.g. Colosseum, Forum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain) so the metro is the way to go and easy to maneuver. Overall, had a nice stay there.

Well worth every penny!

This was by far the best hotel that we have ever had in Europe. The room was large, the bathroom had a jetted tub, and off the room was a huge private deck with a table chairs and lounge chairs. You can see the top of the Duomo in Vatican City. This was well worth the money we spent. The only possible downside is there is very limited parking onsite.
