Hotel Des Epoques

Giuseppe, my husband from Salerno, Italy, and I traveled from South London to visit Rome this autumn. How fortunate to stay at the Hotel Des Epoques. Wonderful, warm and helpful concierges, chambermaids and dining room personnel. The room was beautifully furnished in Grand Epoque style, clean and very quiet. The Hotel was perfectly situated to visit all historical sites; bus numbers and routes marked on maps for us by the concierge. My husband particularly enjoyed the breakfast espresso coffees - delicious choices of dishes and pastries to fuel our expeditions! Grazie Mille, we say to the wonderful staff at this beautiful hotel. We will definitely return.

Superb pre-cruise one night stay. Room was excellent, clean and a good size. Bathroom and shower excellent. Breakfast had good options. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay here again.

Where do I start.
Whilst the staff are very pleasant, it doesn't make up for the state of this place. It is so dated, the only solution is to gut the place and start again.
Firstly, the bathroom is so small and very mouldy. This is no way a 4 star hotel. Please see photos. The bathroom shower holder was broken. The cubicle is tiny. You can't use the shower attachment and you have to hold the shower head in order to shower. When you attach it. The shower head can only face horizontal and therefore making showering difficult. The shower tray has leaked all over the bathroom floor. Shampoo provided but no shower gel or conditioner. You do however get small bars of soap. So bring your own.
Aircon doesn't work nor does the phone.
The room is very small.
The bed rock hard.
No tea and coffee facilities.
Scratches all over the floor where the furniture has been dragged and the view, a brick wall. The fridge is barely cold.
A double bed and they provided only one extra pillow. Seriously!!!!
The positive reviews on here must've been for a different hotel.
This was meant to be a holiday treat for my brother in law's 70th birthday. I'm embarrassed.
The location is good, but that doesn't make it 4*.
And this is only day one. If I was staying more than a few days, I would ask for my money back. I've been in budget hotels better than this. It's shocking. Not happy AT ALL!!!!
This accommodation wasn't cheap.
And that's just my room. I have no idea what my brother in law's room is like. Further update to follow.

Friendly staff, clean hotel, nice architecture and decor. Breakfast choices were a bit limited.

Don’t listen to the reviews I was a bit worried after reading them but the hotel was perfect for me and my daughter who’s 12 it was a lil dated but that added to the charm the room was cleaned daily with clean Towels and the maid was so lovely we was about 10 mins out from the centre just jump on the 60/62 bus there and back which we got bus passes from the shop right by the bus station the staff were so helpful at the hotel always going out there way to help me find places and how to get there always greeted us with a smile we absolutely loved the shops and restaurants near the hotel so much quieter after a busy day and the service so much better I didn’t feel rushed and the prices were so much cheaper around the hotel there was a Japanese restaurant just around the corner which was beautiful if you fancy a change we even got a take out Chinese from the restaurant next door on the last night to our room which was beautiful the staff in the hotel gave us plates to eat in our room there was a supermarket two mins over the road which we used alot

The only thing I didn't like was the lamp beside the bed, I think it should be much softer light for reading. It was too harsh. Everything else was great!!

Beautiful hotel, however I would not recommend booking an economy room.
The economy room is to the side of the main hotel. The room is beautiful, but very small! Wardrobe is the only place for clothes and the bed is a double. Updates are needed, but everything worked. Key positives are that it is very close to bus routes, there is an elevator, and the AC works great in our room!

Beautiful old traditional hotel with great potential for photos or filming . Staff very helpful.

If you're wanting a family environment with smiling, courteous staff who will look after your well being then this is your hotel. Reading the reviews I was nervous to book but thought as it's a fantastic location for a reasonable price, I would be fine to sqaut for a few days. Man was I wrong. They treated my family with the upmost respect and kindness. When the main restaurant staff missed seeing my Son at breakfast (who is 10 so not so much of a baby) and asked where my bambino/ piccolo was. I said he was asleep and so she loaded me up with food to take up to the room. She explained things in Italian but I could comfortably understand what she was saying. I cannot throw my confidence in the hotel upon this single angel. All the staff big and small were incredible. After we came back from an exhausting day out, the staff always welcomes us with a ciao and smile.

The hotel was super clean, very quirky decor. I have no idea how they kept black glass constantly shinny and streak free!!!

The beds were delightful and incredibly comfortable. Fully functional air con and massive bathroom with all the facilities you needed for your trip inc. Hair dryer.

Oh and bus 60 and 62 is literally a few yards from the front of the hotel that takes you to the Colosseum and Vatican city. Busses run every 10 mins.

Great little hotel, close to centre with bus just outside on central bus routes. Btekfast was nice quality products ( we did need to ask for refil of some food a few times though)
Rooms were good and spacious though the hotel itself is quite dated was probably fantastic when it was new. Overall i would stay again definitely.

Very clean and good location.
The staff were excellent. The receptionists very knowledgeable and helpful regarding places to visit and transportation.
The restaurant staff were extremely helpful, friendly and cheerful. Despite one of the few times to encounter the language barrier they were excellent.

All good

The hotel is unique and traditional. Room is quite spacious for 2 of us and bed is comfy .

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Booked to stay here, pain in full on Booking.com in March hotel received the money in June. Contacted me in July, cancelling my booking with 2 weeks to go. Said no money received, even told me to pay them directly. Rude, not helpful at all, had to cancel via Booking.com and rebook a new accommodation. DO NOT trust this hotel.

Location
Comfortable
Clean
Beautiful building

The place is a little run down. I think some things may be a safety hazard. Such as mold.
