Unacceptable customer experience
Posted 21 Oct 2019 on HotelsAt the moment of arrival nobody spoke English.
During my booking I was asked to leave my card details with the warranty that the card won’t get charged, as I choose “pay at the property “. My card was charged.
My trip was during my birthday, nothing provided, booking for 15 days.
In the booking was mentioned room with breakfast included.
Breakfast contained only products containing sugar (pastries mostly and a coffee machine). I’m allergic to sugar.
While talking to manager about my experience he replied: “say thank you that I’m offering you breakfast...!” I said that it’s included in my booking and to me it’s not a favour from his side. He then added: “you get what you paid for, what you want? It’s a 3 star hotel!” Unacceptable behaviour, negative body language, rude reply’s.
During my checkout I asked assistance to reach train station which is 1.5km away. Manager said: “it’s your problem, I can’t help you” . In my booking was mentioned that transportation from the hotel it’s provided with additional charges, I asked to avail the service and he said: “ we don’t have this service, you can call a taxi if you want “
I regretted every second I was there. Treated like a unwanted person who is receiving free service rather then a guest!!!
And the top of negative experience was to be asked to give them the key of my room while going outside as it’s not allowed to remain with me!!!! This happened while during the night nobody was at reception and I couldn’t entry to room.

Dear Client
Many thanks for Your review
We are sorry to hear that your stay with us was not what you had dreamed of for Your trip to Rome.
We prefer to reply to Your review analyzing point by point as we think that some points are very imaginative and exaggerated:
We can only apologize that the staff member you encountered upon your arrival was not as you had dreamed they would be. At Hotel Salaria we believe in making a good impression and showing our real care for our guests already from the first moment that they come in the door and begin their stay with us. All our receptionist know how to speak english so we really don’t understand how you could have found someone who didn't speak English at Your arrival.
Regarding the payment , kindly note that all reservations made for our hotel must be guaranteed by a valid credit card. This is a very common practice for hotels, B&B, airlines and the like around the world; it is the only way to ensure that a reservation is confirmed. Not only this is a benefit for us to know that guests are able to pay for their stay, but also for the guests to know that their room is guaranteed to be booked for their day of arrival and for the length of their stay.
Since you had booked through the Expedia website we are more than sure that among the Rate Conditions, indicated at the moment of reservation, there is clearly stated that a valid credit card must be provided to ensure the booking is confirmed.
Please find the policy here reported: « The hotel reserves the right to verify the credit cards prior to arrival, by requesting the pre-authorization of the first night’s lodging ».
The moment the hotel tried to pre-authorize the card for the amount of the first night’s stay you got a message from Your bank about this and you thought the hotel had charged the whole stay on the card. But , as a matter of fact , it was only the pre-authorization.
The payment for the whole stay was made at the reception on the day of departure (but perhaps you forgot to write it on your review) , so we have respected the « pay at the property » procedure.
We're sorry we didn't notice that it was Your birthday. We will learn from this mistake to improve our services.
In addition to our best wishes (which were made by our receptionist when you pointed out about Your birthday) our Hotel does not offer any special service for a customer's birthday (if not requested).
We never try to be too invasive, so we offer our apologies that this came across as cold - we certainly do not mean for this to be the case!
Our Breakfast is a continental buffet breakfast with much variety of food , both sweet and salty.
We offer different types of cakes , pies , croissants , different types of cereals , Nutella , bread , butter , different types of jam , hard boiled eggs , different types of yogurts , toasts , cheese and salami.
Anyway our staff is more than willing to provide you with an extra needs if possible.
As a matter of fact , our staff

Best deal for your Rome stay.
Posted 7 Jun 2019 on HotelsThis was my second long stay based on my positive experience from last year. The rooms are of good size and comfortable, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the free breakfast is good, the WIFi works well and ample open parking is available at no additional charge. It is a bit outside Rome but access to downtown is simple and direct (park at the garage on Via Ludovisi a cross street of Via Veneto). Also access to highways surrounding the city (including the one to the airport) is close by. Finally in the context of what is provided the price is very reasonable. As I posted in my review last year, I will stay here again when I return to Rome.

Best Bargain in Rome for those with a car
Posted 6 Jun 2018 on HotelsWhen I am in Rome again I plan to stay at this hotel and this write-up is based on an 11 night stay. My single room was large and comfortable with a double bed - not something you normally get in a European hotel and the AC worked very well. Complimentary breakfast includes good orange juice, cereals and hard boiled eggs in addition to a large variety of pastries and yogurts. There is no espresso bar but the coffee machines provided deliver good strong coffee once you learn how they work. Staff is very pleasant and accommodating. Free parking is ample. As opposed to what I noted in older reviews, the place is very clean as are the rooms. The only negative is that the free WiFi did not operate in the rooms I and my son had. It did work in the dining area and adjacent sitting room and supposedly in the main area of the hotel as well. I was not really affected as a T-Mobile customer because I received good service anyway given T-Mobile's presence in Italy. However, my son as a Verizon customer had to pay Verizon's tab of $10 a day for internet service but given the pricing of rooms this hotel is still a bargain. The staff tried to fix the WiFi to cover our rooms but was unable to do so for any consistent period of time.
If you are not driving this MOTEL is not for you since there is nothing of interest within a short walking distance and the center of Rome is approximately a 20 minute drive away. On the other hand access to the airports, and highways is excellent.
