Hotel Tuscolana

I stayed at this hotel in late March during my family 3-day Rome trip. This Hotel is very good on all my key criteria's. Very close to Metro and regional trains which make Airport and City travel very easy. I loved morning breakfast and also staff there took care of us as we were in their home. They were very helpful in my day trip planning and providing guidance in case on any issues. For example 3 metro stops were closed for few days and they told us during breakfast, which help us to make alternate arrangements. They also stored my luggage on my last day till I picked up in the afternoon to go to airport and yes without any charges.

Enjoyed our stay. A distance from city center but with metro/taxi (pricey), it was not hard to access. Decent restaurants nearby. Service and breakfast/service was terrific. It's a 2 star hotel so don't expect too much in terms of amenities. Neighborhood littered with graffiti but felt safe walking around to find restaurants. Many within walking distance.

We stayed at the Hotel Tuscolana at the beginning of our trip and returned to stay a month later at the end of our trip. We were given a warm "Welcome back" by staff which made us feel good. We chose this hotel initially because of the close proximity to the train station (about 3 minute walk) and the good reviews we had read. The hotel is maintained very well and the breakfast was the best we had our entire trip with lots of choices and homemade treats. As mentioned, all staff members were kind. A great experience! Can't really rate the area as we didn't explore the neighborhood and just came to sleep. Our primary destination was not Rome and the hotel was located very well to our train transportation.

Very nice hotel staff. Room was clean. Breakfast was awesome!

Hotel Tuscolana is the gem of Rome! Tucked away in San Giovani it is close to everything by Metro without all of the annoyance of the tourist areas. When we arrived we were well received and given the key to our room which was lovely. It was very clean and warm. When I removed the bedspread, folded and tucked it away, because I get hot at night, much to my surprise and delight, the staff added a crisp white sheet on top of the blanket for additional comfort. The neighborhood of San Giovanni is quite safe even late at night. My 16 year old daughter and I felt quite comfortable alone on the street despite the graffiti on the walls throughout the neighborhood and we quickly discovered most of the neighborhoods in Rome apart from the tourist areas and ancient attractions are covered in graffiti and are quite nice otherwise. We began everyday at Hotel Tuscolana with a wonderful very traditional Italian/European breakfast and a cup of cappuccino, included in our stay. We left our key with the front desk daily, as is customary, and we utilized the Ponte Lungo Metro station to access the city which is quite easy. Hotel Tuscolana offers easy access to all of the day to day amenites you would find at home. There is a grocer, a pharmacy, a market, convenience store, shoe store, clothing store, and pharmacy all within one block of the hotel. Coming back to Hotel Tuscolana after sight seeing is like going home at the end of the day. The staff are all warm, inviting, and very helpful.
