OK. Where do I even begin!! Customer service was great. Room was clean and tidy. That is all the positives. Now for the real stuff. Upon arrival I went to my room and it was hot. I asked them to turn on the AC. They said they could not because it was against the law??? What?? They are not allowed to use AC in the Winter. They told me to open my windows. I did that and the cigarette smoke wafted in my room. I am allergic to it. Plus the street noise was bad. Bad suggestion. Next. My fridge was not working. They said they would fix it the next day. Next. The TV was all in Italian. Come on folks. Most people speak English and you can not even offer one channel!! in English.Next. Shower was very small. To wash my legs I had to stick my head out of the shower stall. Shower curtain barely covered the opening. No place to rest my soap or shampoo. Elevator was next to my room. Very noisy. Breakfast was really bad. Hard boiled eggs, stale pastries, yogurt, tepid juice and milk. Cold cereal. Processed cheese in cellophane wrap.Three days before I left the stoll water kept running. I asked then to fix which they said they would but did not know when??? I said I can not sleep with the water running continuosly. They gave me another room. Wow!! This is the room that looked like the picture online. Why was I not given this room,Buyer beware. The pictures are deceiving. I am sure I am leaving something out but this is enough to neverwant me to come back. The owner spends $$ on the outside

Aurora Garden
This is the worst hotel I have stayed at. When we got to Rome we found that the hotel was a very long way out of town, about 30 minutes by bus just to get to the edge of the metro network. Roughly an hour to get in via bus (through some very dodgey areas) and train. On our first night we got told the bar didn't sell Italian beer. They also only had one bottle of red wine and that was never re stocked. The bathroom sink had no mechanism to plug it and other guests told us theirs was the same. The TV only worked intermittently. The breakfast which was provided had some nice cakes and things but the cheese was just plastic wrapped slices with no flavour. I don't know how they have 3 stars. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Avoid this place
Do not judge this hotel by pictures, or the way the building looks like from outside. Room was dirty. Carpets were not vacuumed. Black mold in the ceiling in the room and bathroom. Bathroom was caked with mold. Bathtub was not cleaned in a while and had dirt built up. Front desk person told us we could park in their parking lot, but withheld information that they charged for parking. Location is not close to anything. Unless you have a car, you should not stay here if you are planning to see any of the tourist sights.

Great Hotel for a couple to do sightseeing in Rome
We booked into the Aurora Garden Hotel having looked at previous reviews. We arrived at the hotel about 8.00 pm and was greeted by very friendly staff. We booked the hotel away from the centre of Rome as we were travelling as a couple and were happy to travel as the centre of Rome is only 8km away. The room was very small but functional but the only draw back would be that they do not provide any tea or coffee facilities in the room only a minibar. We walked to the centre of Rome via the Via Nomentana which took us ages but was really enjoyable as on the way we saw a lot of the surrounding areas and how the Italians lived and stopped off in a few cafes along the way. We did however use the metro but at first it was very confused and once we did eventually master it it was very easy. We would definitely go back there as it was good value for money and although 8km away from the centre of Rome it did not bother us. It would not be a good idea to take kids though.

Aurora Garden Hotel
The hotel was rather out of the way of other tourist locations, and the taxi that the hotel concierge kindly booked for us was ludicrously expensive compared to taxis we got from in town back to the hotel (many of the in-town taxi drivers hadn't even heard of the hotel!). All staff were friendly and, despite a slight language barrier, were always helpful. All functions and resources of the hotel were basic and limited; the breakfast 'buffet' (included in the package) was poor quality and unimaginative, and the room service menu was nearly bare. That being said, we were only really using the hotel as a place to stay as we explored the city throughout the day, and so it is more a place that I would recommend to sightseers, and not to families expecting plenty of entertainment from the hotel. Decent and acceptable all round, no major complaints.

Average hotel
The hotel was ok, we just needed a place to crash for one night. about 1 hour away by public transport to central Rome. We would probably look for a hotel near the metro station the next time, we wasted a lot of time in the traffic. Good parking facilities. Receptionist kept trying to sell us one of their tours the whole time! I would not go back there.

We've spent six nights at the hotel and find it an unexpected gem. Read and decide for yourself. Convenience: The hotel is located in the San Cleto area of Rome, Northeast of the center of the city. It may be hard to locate it on a map, but it is surprisingly easy to reach by subway and bus: From Downtown Rom: You take linea [Line] B -- the Blue Line, toward Rebibia which is the final stop, but get off one stop before at Ponte Mammolo because it is a bus station with lots of buses coming and going. At the bus station take bus 343 or 344 to Casale San Basilio and Nicolai. From there it's 5-7 minutes on foot to the hotel.. Buses run until very very late at night as does the subway. There are at least two restaurants within a short walking distance from the hotel, both serve good food and are open late and there are several stores/delis (including a bakery) within minutes of the hotel. Breakfast: Aurora Gardens is a bed & breakfast hotel and breakfast is served conveniently from 7:00 to 10:00 A.M. It consists of toast (white or rye), fruit salad a variety of meats and cheeses, an assortment of bakery goods, juice, and hard-boiled eggs. The coffee is excellent and you can have as many cups of Americano, cappuccino, cafe latte etc. It's a wonderful breakfast. Room & Bathroom: The room is comfortably spacious, has dark blinds for people who come to Rome to sleep late (I don't understand that). The bed was wide and very good (I know, I suffer from a bad back on occasion), the lights were all over the place, the water in the bath was hot (or very hot if you prefer to turn it up), and the hotel supplied large fluffy towels plus a mat. The sink was large and did not require the use of contortions. New and clean towels and a mat appeared daily on the rack. The room has a fairly big closet with hangers as well as a desk and a mini fridge stocked with drinks (but YOU pay dearly for them) .This was convenient enough to store some cheese/meats when we didn't feel like going out at night. There are no drawers or shelf space for clothes, however—only for hanging. Staff:: Perhaps the most important element at the Aurora Gardens -- certainly for people who do not speak Italian – are staff members at their hotel. Every one of the courteous and extremely helpful front desk managers spoke English well. Alex (who speaks 4-5 languages including Thai, German, and, of course, English) is a delightful person and a welcome help in every way. Daniele and the late-night manager (whose name we regrettably forgot) are equally pleasant and helpful. They helped us find places, book reservations at a museum and recommended restaurants, bus routes etc. If you are looking for a great hotel at a decent price look no further!

We did not mind travelling 30 min to the city centre by bus.Public transport is very cheap in Rome and for 4 euros you can have unlimited travel per day so this hotel was just fine.Everything was reasonable.It was clean,comfortable and breakfast was fine.You basically get what you pay for .Internet wasn't free and we rented a car to get us there and back to the Airport so it was quite convenient.

Good hotel in general.
Friendly stuff, clean room, the restorant"Crasy cow" is near by, 5 minutes walk....in general, good transpotration, about 30 minutes by bus. The stuff will explain how to get to the Historical part of the city by bus. It is 3star hotel and it perfectelly reflects the title of the hotel. If you need good breakfast, clean bed, silence, and few days in Roma, I would recommend this hotel. Just be aware, it is not 5star hotel, it is modest, but friendly and clean that serves the purpose of your stay in marvelous Roma!

A Lovely Aurora
Aurora Gardens Hotel was located within a bus (343 - 344) and tube (Rebbibia to Termini) ride of Central Rome. The tube would actually take you to the Colosseum station if you stopped on but connections were often easy and there was no more waiting than 9 minutes.The bus's were frequent and went through the heart of Italian life. The tube and bus's were often full and it was a case of 'Everyone for themselves' to get on. There are no orderly cue's in Italy. It didn't all look like an Italy you may imagine but being away from the major 'Tourist' hotels gave you a better idea of life in 'Italy'. The locals were never un-friendly and never caused any reason to be concerned - Italians do tend to stare at you - but they do this to all and it can feel a little uncomfortable until you relise they meaning nothing by it. The Hotel reception area were very helpful in matters that you would approach them with. (Although they didn't tell us there was a transport strike on one of our days! oops). The reception areas were covered by people whom spoke English which was very refreshing as most Italians in Rome have not learnt the English. As one receptionist told me "Why would we know English, we are Italian?". (English is multi-national language, Rome lives on Tourism). The people at the hotel were very friendly and approachable, as were the other staff. Breakfast was self service and there was plenty until greedy other guests got there. Would I stay at this hotel again? Deffo. Yes I Would.

Excellent hotel and services, terrible location
Getting there the first time was a problem because not only must one take one of the city's metro lines to the terminal station, but from there one must also take a bus that goes deeper in the neighbourhood to a closer location to the hotel (this was the problem, not knowing when to get off the bus, but got lucky with a local who was going the same way). Once there, we found a beautiful little hotel with splendid gardens around it, just situated among a whole lot of living buildings (blocks of flats, other houses). Hotel services were excellent, cleaning performed every day, staff very friendly, really, hands down the most charming little hotel we've stayed at. But tourists be warned about the location, especially if you don't bring your own car or rent one, it takes about an hour from city center to the hotel by means of public transportation.
