    The location wasn’t very central. We spent a lot on taxis. The metro was a long walk from the hotel and it felt unsafe with pick pockets. We had a close encounter with one. We decided not to take the metro after that.

    The breakfast was good. Bacon and eggs and a nice selection of pastries. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

    The room was quite large and the bathroom was suitable even for two people at the same time. There were minor flaws due to a lack of maintenance in my room. I also appreciated the vending machines on the floor for water and snacks. The bus stops were very close too.

    I had no complaints about this but future visitors should be aware that Hotel Caravel does NOT have kettles or coffee machines in the rooms. There's a (coffee) bar a few metres away outside and the hotel's (cocktail) bar is open in the evenings.

    I had expected this hotel to be a little shabby but it was in great condition and offered great facilities. The breakfast was very good (although the breakfast room was a bit cold) and they had gluten-free bread on hand. The location was perfect for my purposes, with both Garbatella metro station and Eataly within walking distance (less than 30 minutes). I would stay here again!

    Staff could be warmer, we were also stranded in central Rome and the reception couldn't send us a taxi. Also, the location is in a busy main road so not that pretty.

    Clean, with elevator and close to nearby bus stages.

    The hotel's wifi is working through an unsecure webserver so I rather skipped to connect it. An unexpected 22,50 Euro additional fee had to be paid as city tax at check-out.

    Very nice, spaciuos and clean room. The location is quite good in walking distance from the Metro and the bus station.

    There was no fridge in the room, which I find a bit annoying given the price you pay and especially during the summer when it's hot and you want cold drinks or to store food so it does not spoil. I had another friend joining me for the trip and because I did not book the room for 2 people originally I had to pay an additional fee at the end which felt a bit excessive, so might be worth booking for the adequate number of people from the start. There was noise during the day due to construction work nearby, but it was not a massive issue. It did not wake us up.

    The room was big enough for two people, with a large balcony, clean. The hotel in general was very clean, there were no technical issues, the staff cleaned our room every day. The area is well connected, few buses around that can take you to the centre, a metro station within walking distance, few shops and little coffee shops/restaurants nearby as well. However, all these buses take ages to arrive, it seems like it's common in Rome.
