Description


Location. The Prime Hotel Saint John is located in Rome, Italy, just to the south of the centre and well-placed to explore this most beautiful of historic cities, with the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps all roughly one kilometre away. The closest metro station is San Giovanni, three stops from Termini.
Hotel Features. The Prime Hotel Saint John is a modern minimalist design hotel using stone, timbers and clear crystal as materials to sit harmoniously with the historic character of Rome. The lobby has a fireplace, offers complimentary newspapers and serves coffee. There is garage parking nearby (surcharge) and wireless Internet is available for a surcharge.

The Patmos Lounge Café is open 24 hours and serves dishes with an Italian flavour. A continental buffet breakfast is complimentary and served each morning.

The Prime Hotel is set adjacent a fitness centre with a modern gym (discounted entrance fees apply).

Guestrooms. The 83 rooms of the Prime Hotel Saint John are air-conditioned, soundproofed, and furnished in a silver-patterned design. The bathrooms are marble with showers and tubs, and fitted with makeup mirrors, hair dryers and telephones. All rooms have satellite television with pay movies, wireless Internet, desks, direct dial phones and minibars.

Expert Tip. Two of Rome's most acclaimed coffee houses are to be found on either side of the Pantheon. Tazzo D'Oro is cheaper and serves a splendid coffee granita, while the espresso at Bar San Eustachio has a spectacularly thick crema.

Decent hotel good value

Location - The hotel is not badly located although the area is quiet it is very easy to get around and a lot of the sights are a walkable distance. It is also very close to the manzoni tube stop. Rooms - The room was of adequate size, clean, modern & a very big comfortable bed. Noise was the only drawback you could hear the shower and toilet flush of the room above very loudly. Thank goodness they didn't get up too early! Staff - We didn't have cause to speak much with the staff but when we did they were helpful and polite. Breakfast - Very poor selection, and what was there wasn't good. Value - We had an excellent rate and overall the hotel was very good value for money for a reasonably central position in a very expensive city.

Not impressed value versus quality is not realistic

Although this is a rather nice hotel reasonably close to main attractions (Coluseum is about 15 minutes walk away), the price of this hotel does not weigh up to the qualtity. The room is OK, but not big, the bath-room, although filled with Design things, is very unpractical (e.g. when taking a shower, the entire bath-room is flooded) Also the water temperature does not stay constant, varying from very hot to freezing cold. Breakfast is a buffet, with limited choices, and surprisinlgy for an Italian hotel with a simple coffee machine, no proper Italian coffee. Finally there are no real parking facilities, you have to park on the street, or try and find a parking garage somewhere. So all in all, it is a nice and clean hotel, but the price of the room is too high. Other hotels offer much better deals.
