Castel Madama Hotels

Staff were excellent. Breakfast was good albeit in the basement. No restaurant in the hotel for evening meal but the local restaurant Gallo was excellent (short drive/medium walk) and very good value for money with discount for hotel residents. Quiet location in residential area. Small secure area behind gates if you have a car. Shame the hotel air conditioning system had broken down on a hot day. It is good that the entire hotel has air conditioning and it is a quite system. Hotel staff very apologetic and offered us two rooms instead of one for the same price and free internet. Aircon was fixed by 0600 in the morning but it was a hot night. Whilst there are TVs in the room the channels are all Italian. The web site says "Aurora Hotel is next door to a restaurant serving typical Roman cuisine" - it is not next to any restaurant - that may be a translation issue for "nearby".

All you need for your stay close to Rome and other beautiful places nearby when you have transport. Trains to Rome regularly from train station Bagni di Tivoli (1km; use BIRG ticket for flat rate for train and metro). Breakfast great with not only sweets. Very helpful, English speaking staff. Rooms spotless, Internet inexpensive. Permitting the wind direction a light foul stench from the suphur baths

A very charming designed hotel with a very nice and helpful personnel. Mrs. Dana and her collegues with their positive attitude and sense of humor, and always being ready to help, made our stay indeed a very pleasant and enyojable. The hotel is also a very good base for exploring the surrondings. The views from our room to the Vesuvio are stunning. The hotel is located at the very small harbour of Vico Equense which is not up to teh standard of the hotel. However, there are a few restaurant in vicinity. To visit the center of town you have to walk uphill for cca. 25 min. I suggest visiting the nearby Sorrento 7km, by car.

The staff was helpful, and the area is quiet. The Hotel is professionally run and just what we needed. It takes about an hour or more to get into Rome,

service / facilities, comfort, location

Good Servvce, clean, efficient. Ideal location for me.

Close to the bath and a very nice hotel, however peaople should be let know of the sulphur smell! Restaurant was the weak point, however some good restaurants across the street (pizza) and many very good restaurants in Tivoli (10 min down the road).

Great value for money. Very chic and stylish Hotel. Not clear that swimming pools run by different company, and are payable extra. Ate dinner at Hotel, as not much choice within walking distance. Food not great, and not cheap. Buffet breakfast good though.

The rooms were large with a large private bathroom. Everything was very clean with great lighting day and night. Rooms are cleanly furnished with a large closet, desk and little tv. Air conditioning worked really well. The breakfast was also good and very typical for an italian breakfast. We were worried about parking but there was a spot right in front of the hotel. A little difficult to find the street. Located in a residential area and a far walk to a restaurant.

Cleanliness and location

The staff here must be the most helpful, friendly and accommodating in Italy! Rooms are modern and clean; breakfast good. Again, the staff make this hotel a wonderful srprise. Location is a bit awkward but not seriously difficult. Staff are able to recommend nearby restaurants which will offer a discount for hotel guests.

I was very pleased with continental breakfast (fresh fruit, delicious coffee, cakes). Good beds. Nice swimming pool, very welcome in hot august. The price I payed (offer Booking.Com) .Bus connection turned out to be very good (bus Metro B Rome-Tivoli stops before hotel, very frequent (15 min). rather ugly surrounding (not Tivoli of course).I was rather surprised about distance to Tivoli (9 km). Restaurant is not bad, but rather expensive. And the chlorine supply ( to much) during swimming was something I did not like.

Comfortable room. Friendly personal. Opportunity to have personal safe for money or values at your room. Opportunity to leave your luggage at the registration desk in special room after check-out which is convenient to travel light and visit lockal attractions near Tivoli. It wold be great to have another key for travellers settling in double room (e.g. for married couple) and providing them an opportunity returning at their own room separatly.
