It’s a large apartment with 3 rooms, and we had 7 guests, that all fit comfortably. However, after a cold day in Rome (December), we anticipated having a warm place to come back to. The heater in my room- the en-suite - didn’t work. The WiFi was very unreliable (as they point out in the agreement). The only option to contact someone after hours is through calling, and the WiFi drops the call and makes it difficult to hear. So our “conversation” was mostly asking if we could hear each other and me getting frustrated I wasn’t receiving help. The staff on call just told me to use a space heater and I’d be fine. (In broken English). She wouldn’t listen that I already had done that and was still cold, or that I felt unsafe using a space heater all night because of fire dangers. We were able to find 1 extra blanket in the whole place that I huddled under all night. 1 extra blanket, 7 people. Communication with the staff the next day was terrible. They said I have to respect working hours and that the space heater was sufficient. They knew the wall heater didn’t work. Again, did not listen to my concerns. Maybe I’m being very American, but if you are renting a place and there is a problem, it’s your responsibility to take care of it, no matter what the business hours are. I feel the place should not have been available to rent, or the lack of heat should have been disclosed. ##### Aaron Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dorthe 4 Sept 2024 ##### Dorthe Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### rejzija 17 Aug 2020 ##### rejzija Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Precise House Mantegna Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Precise-House-Mantegna-Roma.h1680767.Hotel-Information) > > [hu Roma Camping In Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Roma-Camping-In-Town.h4161322.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Pergola](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-La-Pergola.h1833480.Hotel-Information) > > [LH Hotel Excel Roma Montemario](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Excel-Roma-Montemario.h1436633.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Gallery Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Palm-Gallery-Hotel.h106761963.Hotel-Information) > > [Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel & SPA - Preferred Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Parco-Dei-Principi-Grand-Hotel-SPA-Preferred-Hotels-Resorts.h457839.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caesar Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-The-Caesar-Roma.h88855071.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Rome Eur La Lama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hilton-Rome-Eur-Convention-Center.h44681998.Hotel-Information) > > [Torpignattara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Torpignattara.h34469541.Hotel-Information) > > [The Social Hub Rome](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-The-Social-Hub-Rome.h109576916.Hotel-Information) > > [Athena Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Athena-Hotel.h807528.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Giovanni Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-San-Giovanni-Roma.h30393800.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sirenetta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Sirenetta.h2529827.Hotel-Information) > > [Raganelli Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Raganelli-Hotel.h1109875.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Hotel Roma Pietralata Tiburtina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-BB-Hotel-Roma-Pietralata.h33539078.Hotel-Information) > > [Lido di Ostia 1933](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Lido-Di-Ostia-1933.h23982645.Hotel-Information) > > [La Lira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-La-Lira.h22163479.Hotel-Information) > > [BELSTAY ROMA AURELIA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-BELSTAY-ROMA-AURELIA.h73565146.Hotel-Information) > > [Roma Tiburtina Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Roma-Tiburtina-Station.h25830049.Hotel-Information) > > [The Strand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h1611481.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Circus Maximus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-BB-Circus-Maximus.h8427307.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurelia Vatican Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Aurelia-Vatican-Apartments.h4276765.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Roma Castle Termini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Guest-House-Castle.h15075568.Hotel-Information) > > [Aldrovandi Residence City Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Aldrovandi-Residence-City-Suites.h2693740.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel De La Ville Relais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-De-La-Ville-Relais.h7512372.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Novecento](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Novecento.h1175173.Hotel-Information) > > [Relais 6 Via Tolmino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Relais-6-Via-Tolmino.h13470276.Hotel-Information) > > [Istituto Piccole Ancelle di Cristo Re](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Istituto-Piccole-Ancelle-Di-Cristo-Re.h15879196.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Roma Tor Vergata](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Roma-Tor-Vergata.h525029.Hotel-Information) ---
