Hotel Geo in Rome

Not recommended – very unpleasant experience

I stayed at Hotel Geo in Rome and was extremely disappointed. As soon as we entered the room, we found blood stains on the blanket. We contacted the staff, but they didn’t speak English, so we had to communicate through a translator. The lady at the reception just took the blanket and said she would bring a new one the next day – which never happened.

The room was in poor condition – mold near the ventilation, windows that didn’t work, and overall cleanliness was lacking. There was constant noise in the corridors both early in the morning and late at night, caused by staff and cleaning, which made it hard to get any rest.

A serious issue was with the city tax. I had already paid it via Booking.com, but the hotel insisted I pay it again. For a 5-night stay, that's almost 70 euros extra – even if you already paid through the booking platform.

Unfortunately, I have to give one star in order to publish this review, but this hotel doesn’t deserve even that. I have a few business trips planned in Rome in the future, but I will never stay at this hotel again and would not recommend it to anyone. I truly regret staying here.

Not much to say , noisy area, not the friendliest staff, but close enough to bus and metro

My trip to Rome was amazing, but this hotel is genuinely horrible so I feel compelled to write this. If you want something brief, check the first sentence out of each point below: The positives ✅: - TRANQUILITY. It's pretty calm at night, the most you'll hear is airplanes flying and a few people on the street. The negatives ⛔: - HORRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE. One of the receptionists is extremely rude. When we first came in, there was a problem in our reservation and we were having issues solving it since we booked it with a travel agency, and, even though it's comprehensible to be stressed about that, the receptionist conducted himself in a completely inappropriate way. Not only did he refused to cooperate with us, he kept insisting that we had to pay an additional tax to the one we already had payed previously without explaining it clearly, just insisting on payment (he also seemed to change how much the tax costed during the conversation or at least it really sounded like it ? Saying it was about ~€40 per night because of the age of the guests just to change it to one ~€40 payment saying it was actually the tourist tax at the end ?), then he started yelling repeatedly and saying that "that's your problem, not mine", and only calmed down when we gave up and said we were going to another hotel, changing his ways completely. - CLEANESS. The room had mold in the wall (image annexed to this post), leaks in the shower and, in out first day sleeping there, when we opened a folded blanket there were rests of food of a previous guest lying there (we never opened that before and never ate in the room, so no, it wasn't ours, that image is also annexed to this post), so we had to request another blanket. - LOCATION. This is kind of relative, but if you are planning to stay most of the time on Rome's center (where most of the tourist attractions are) you may have to walk a lot or at least spend some good money on transportation. You can walk to the center, but depending on the time of your stay it becames unfeasible to do that every day. At least there is a bus stop and a metro line near there. - FALSE ADVERTISING. So, we came to the hotel knowing it didn't offer this things, but for some reason in a lot of sites (including tripadvisor) this place is listed saying it offers things like free breakfast so be aware it doesn't. There are good places to get breakfast near there, but of course it comes with a price. Some of this aspects are relative and can be experienced in different ways by different people, but still, if you want an advice: DON'T STAY IN THIS HOTEL. It's NOT hard to find other places to stay in the same price tag and in a better location and/or somewhere that offers more confort. The fact that this place so proudly presents this 3 starts makes me astonished because I have no idea how it got even one in the first place.

It's an hour walk into Rome, people are on the streets outside your room till 2am. The beds are hard as a rock. There is no sign to request no entry, they come in your room & turn your air off when you leave. Doing construction starting very early and a auto repair shop is below us. So basically you don't get any sleep.
