Categories

Cleanliness
5.4
Multiple guests reported poor cleanliness: reports of mouldy smell, sewage odour in corridors and rooms, and generally unsatisfactory room hygiene.
Service
9.4
Service is polarising but often praised: several reviews highlight exceptionally helpful and friendly staff at the main hotel and quick resolution of issues, though check-in logistics (no on-site reception) reduce consistency.
Location
9.9
Location is repeatedly praised as excellent and very central (close to Colosseum and major attractions); this is the strongest positive theme across reviews.
Room Quality
6.3
Rooms are functional but have issues: noise and poor soundproofing, small or poorly positioned windows, lack of fridge and seating in some rooms, and an apartment-like layout that may feel confusing.
Amenities
5.6
Amenities are limited or inconsistent: missing minibar/fridge, lacking toiletries (no shampoo, no slippers), decorative/non-functional coffee machine in some rooms, noisy bathroom ventilation.
Value for Money
7
Mixed perceptions: several guests feel the price is high for what is offered, while others consider the central location and clean rooms (for some stays) to provide acceptable value.
Food and Beverage
6.1
Food/beverage offerings are limited or absent for some guests (no breakfast provided in some cases, breakfast described as expensive), and welcome amenities were sometimes missing.
Overall Experience
9.5
Guest experiences vary widely: some guests report near-perfect stays and repeat visits praising staff and location, while others report serious operational issues; on balance many positives (location, helpful staff) drive a strong overall impression for a large portion of guests.

Actually a surprising hotel for the money
Pros:

This was an unexpectedly nice budget hotel! It doesn't have a dedicated Check-in area. Check-in is at a 4 star hotel nearby and the staff did not treat you as a second class customer. Much appreciated. Reasonably sized room, very quiet with double glazed windows despite being on a major thoroughfare, very clean, modern fitout, nice bathroom with hot water and good towels. Very happy to stay here.

Cons:

The check-in hotel supplied written instructions but did not explain that there are other hotels in the same building. You need to walk into the corridor, turn left and ignore all the other hotel signs. Take the elevator (or walk up one flight of stairs). Turn left at the stairs/ elevator and left again. There's a sign pointing to a double door. Use your code to enter. Ok confusing the first time but got it easily.

Horrible es una estafa
Pros:

La localidad es céntrica, lo único bueno que tiene

Cons:

Fue una estafa, ni siquiera entiendo que deberían llamarlo hotel. Lo primero es que el lobby es el de otro hotel y se debe ir caminando con maletas como 7 minutos. Es un edificio viejo, que huele muy mal, se siente muy inseguro, y estás sin seguridad alla. Entraron un grupo de personas y empezaron a hacer mucho ruido arrastrando cosas nos asustamos pensando que eran ladrones, y no pudimos salir de la habitación hasta que no escuchamos que se fueron.

Está todo en malas condiciones, no vale el precio que se pagó, y ni siquiera ofrecen agua. La peor experiencia que he tenido.

Pros:

La ubicación, cerca del coliseo y la fontana. Colectivo a pocos minutos.

Cons:

Que se dividiera la cama, que solo hubiera café el primer día y tener que buscar las llaves a otro lugar. No está lejos pero con valijas no es cómodo

Pros:

La atención del golden Tulip

Cons:

Que el check in fuera en un lugar diferente al alojamiento. Nos complicó mucho, sobre todo porque andamos con maletas. Queda cerca el otro hotel pero con maletas se hace muy lejos.
El hotel no tenía shampoo.

Todo muy bien.
Pros:

La verdad que la ubicación estaba muy bien, cerca de la terminal de buses y con parada justo enfrente. Todo muy limpio y las instalaciones algo antiguas pero bien.

Cons:

Todo estaba perfecto.

Centralt beliggenhed.
Pros:

Central beliggenhed tæt på seværdigheder og metro. Rolig, til trist for beliggenhed på trafikeret vej.

Cons:

Der er ikke vandtryk på bruseren, så det er nærmest umuligt at skylle shampoo ud af håret.
Stikkontakt ved seng hænger ud af væggen.

Good location for most things but get a clear map of the location once checked in at the Golden Tulip.
Pros:

Location once we actually found it. Info on how to find the “hotel” after we found the building was lacking

Cons:

We booked a twin room, had to ask housekeeping to remake the room on both occasions we checked in into a twin as it was made up as double. No cups in the room other than the tiny espresso cups and a dodgy hairdryer.

Pros:

Staff gentile e disponibile.
Si sono impegnati per permettere check in anticipato e ci hanno consentito di lasciare i bagagli il giorno del check out. La struttura non è nuovissima, ma pulita e in ottima posizione.

Don’t stay here, and don’t trust the photos.
Pros:

The bus stop was nearby, and the hotel was close to the train station.

Cons:

I understand that three-star standards can vary significantly between cities and countries, but in our experience, this room was nowhere near what we would expect from a three-star hotel.

The cleanliness was disappointing, the rooms had very poor sound insulation, and several fixtures and materials were in very poor condition. For example, there was no drain plug in the bathroom sink, and the bidet drain was almost completely damaged. As we used the hand towels, they were gradually removed and not replaced, meaning that on our last day we had to use the bidet towels instead.

The photos on Booking.com are also misleading. The room we were given did not look like the rooms shown in the listing, which is particularly frustrating when booking a hotel based on its photos. We will be adding photos and videos to this review to show the actual condition of the room and building.

The building itself is shared with other businesses, and the hotel rooms are located on the second floor. The common areas were extremely dirty, with broken windows and an overall unpleasant atmosphere.

Another major inconvenience was having to go to a completely different hotel to check in. This made the arrival unnecessarily complicated, especially when travelling by taxi, as we had to manage transportation between two different locations.

Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this hotel. The condition of the room, the misleading photos, the cleanliness issues, and the inconvenient check-in process were far below what we expected.
