Ανακαλύψτε τη διαμονή σας σε Tivoli

Perfect location, wonderful rooms , the shower was the best of our 2 week trip, and the breakfast was great with a view of the outside patio. The hosts were accommodating and very kind, and street parking right in front was a bonus. I highly recommend this perfect place to anyone visiting the wonderful sites of Tivoli!

This is actually quite a difficult hotel to rate, simply because it is so very unusual. The first impression is that the entire building has been left stuck in a time warp, somewhere between 1940 and 1960, and that nothing has been done to it for the past 70 years or so. But first impressions can be misleading, and this one, I think, was. It obviously has been a very grand hotel in its day, and still retains many quite grand features. It has also had quite a lot done to it as time passed, since basically its rooms and their amenities are actually well up to modern standards, although they may not look as if they are. That is what the visitor needs to get over. It is difficult to take a place seriously that looks, everywhere, so very, very art deco. But actually, this is a very good hotel. It is quiet, comfortable and central, and has just about everything you would want (unless you’re an anglophone, that is, but more of that later). Using our usual rating system it comes out very highly on almost everything. Location Perfect, if Tivoli Terme is what you’re after. The shops, bars, station, and Spa Treatment centre are all within a few minutes’ walk. Having said that, there really isn’t anything much at Tivoli Terme these days. Its heyday as a spa resort seems to be well over. We settled on this hotel as a centre to visit Tivoli itself, and its gardens and Roman remains etc., but the location for that turned out to be less than perfect. Tivoli is much further away than you think, and you are reliant on buses or trains or expensive taxis to get there. Again, more of that later. Reception Very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Speak perfect English and don’t pretend not to understand my, admittedly, less than perfect Italian. Accommodation Our suite was possibly the largest we have ever stayed in, far bigger than the flat we lived in when we were first married. It was a little daunting at first, in that all the furniture was in the same art deco style and looked a little worse for wear. It had obviously been of the highest quality when new, but was showing signs of its age. In practice, however, it was surprisingly comfortable, the room was extremely quiet, and we had no problems. Not with the furniture, that is. There were two drawbacks, however. First was the TV, which was absolutely enormous, but did not have a single channel in English on it, not even BBC World or CNN. Bring your laptop with a VPN and Iplayer/ITVX if you want to watch any English programmes. The wifi is free and worked perfectly while we were there. More serious was the complete absence of any tea or coffee making facilities in the room, and the refusal of reception to supply any on health and safety grounds. Having said that, they do a very acceptable pot of tea in the bar, at a very reasonable price, but you don’t always want to be bothered, do you? Breakfast Well up to standard, with the usual vast Italian array of cakes, a good choice of cereals (including mue
