Description: The hotel is a 7-storey old building, which is very well maintained. The reception is located diagonally across from the Hotel Caravaggio, which belongs to it. The lobby was welcoming and offered some seating and free Wi-Fi / Wi - Fi access.
The other guests were on our visit, especially young couples from mid-20s to mid-30th Leaving the hotel, will be asked to leave the key at the front desk, which is manned around the clock.
The Picasso Hotel is centrally located in the Via Venezia, a cross street of Via Nazionale, which leads to the Opera Theatre and Repubblica are the many shops. Just on the junction of Via Venezia Via Nazionale is a supermarket, this is hardly 100 meters from the hotel. The nearest metro station is one less than 5 minutes (Repubblica metro station, about 450m) to Termini station is 800 meters (just under 10 minutes walk). About the Metro to reach all the sights of Rome without problems, but as you can the 750 meters from the Trevi Fountain also easily run.
From the Central Station can be reached within 40 minutes by shuttle bus or train to the airport (Bus 5 €, train 8 €), as well as leisure trips are Ostia possible to the excavation sites or to the beach. (1.50 € per trip)
Our room number 6 in the 1st Floor was of medium height, light and bright. It was tiled about 16 square meters plus bathroom (about 3 square meters) and was in a warm auburn hue. The walls were decorated in yellow, equipped with 2 layers of window blinds (blinds and blackout). The windows opened and had shutters that could be closed if necessary.
On entering the room is to the left cloakroom, you walk straight into the bathroom. To the right of the bed with 2 bedside tables, a luggage rack and a desk with chair. In one of the side tables, the mini-bar was built across from the bed, a small TV hanging on the wall.
The door of a night cabinet hung slightly askew on its hinges, the mini-bar but worked perfectly. The prices were fair, not as common in expensive hotels exorbitantly high.
The furniture is a bit dated, but still ok, the room was clean.
The room had air conditioning, which could be regulated by remote control, which we found very pleasant.
The bed was about 1.60 x 2.00 tall, with 2 mattresses on one side and was very worn, but still reasonably comfortable. On the other hand, it was solid and enjoyable. The pillows were good, the blanket was made of a continuous sheet and to a quilt, which was sufficient completely given the temperatures. The bathroom was tiled blue, left there was a sink, a bidet and a toilet, everything was a bit dated, but clean and well maintained. Straight ahead there was the shower, on the right wall as a radiator towel rails. Also there was a shelf on the wall, ready to lay on the anemities as shower gel, soap, etc., and Tumbler. The towels we had when we arrived draped beautifully on the bed. Bath towels and bath mat were nice and soft and clean, the towels were a little firmer from linen and also clean.
With the windows open you will clearly perceive noise from outside, especially from Via Nazionale, which is late in the evening traveled quite strong. Also included is hear about it a little, just as one can perceive sounds from the hallway clear. However, lying on the floor, only a few rooms, so this is not so much weight to a minimum.
The hotel only offers breakfast, there is no bar (but there is a mini bar in the room). Breakfast was served in the 1st Stock of the Picasso restaurant serves, the breakfast room was tiny, but bright and friendly. 12sqm on the incredible depth 16 people found space. The cozy little tables were decorated, on each table stood a basket of (relatively dry) and (relatively fresh) croissants and sweet particles prepared also butter and some jam pack into a small bowl. In the mini-hall nor cakes, cookies, crackers, granola / cereal and fruit yoghurt were built, also juice and milk. In a small kitchen staff prepared a fresh coffee, cappuccino, tea, etc., especially the cappuccino was delicious.
Italian standards, the breakfast was very good, although of course it can not compete with a large common breakfast in Northern Europe.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The check in was quick and easy, the guy at the desk spoke good English and told us where it would be the next day breakfast and happy hour of the hotel. At happy hour in the lobby for 3 hours, a small variation of free snacks and drinks are available that can be used by guests, as while surfing the Internet. It was also provides a public PC.
The porter took us to our room in the house opposite.
Also the other staff spoke good English was friendly and helpful when we had questions about a train and checking out.
Check out was very quick and easy, the room service was also satisfactory.
The Hotel Picasso impressed us with its central location and the excellent value for money. The room was nicely furnished, clean, and equipped with minibar and air conditioning also quite comfortable. Point deduction is available for a saggy bed half. The breakfast is quite good for Italian standards and included in the price. Positive are also the friendly service and the staff speaks good English.
Noise sensitive guests should bring ear plugs or the like, in a central location in Rome, but it is generally very difficult to find a quiet room. I recommend the hotel to others with 4 stars and will certainly book there again when I come again to Rome.
