I had a lovely stay at the Caraval hotel,the room was lovely and comfortable,the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful,I would definitely recommend this hotel and I’ll definitely be coming back again.
Great hotel, staff very courteous and helpful, good restaurant at the hotel and others around it
will definitely stay at Caravel Hotel on my next Rome trip
Some of the reviews on here did scare me a little but spending 6 nights here I can say that there is nothing to worry about. The staff were friendly, room was clean and most importantly the room was always nice and cold during the heat.
Great Stay – Clean, Comfortable & Welcoming
I was lucky to find this hotel last minute after an issue with another booking, and it was a great choice! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were welcoming and made the check-in process smooth. While it was a little out of the way and not within walking distance, it was conveniently close to a bus stop, making it easy to get around. Overall, a great stay, and I would definitely recommend it!
Beautiful hotel in a great location. We flew into Rome before heading to Amalfi. This was a perfect first night on our honeymoon.
The bed was firm and comfortable. The bathroom had a tub and soaking in it after walking 25k steps around Rome was heavenly. The breakfast bar offered was really nice. Although the stay was short, would not hesitate to book again.
Thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
My friends and I booked a place near FCO Airport for overnight stay. On arrivial at approximately 1pm on 6th aug the lady at reception was cold, unfriendly and abrupt. She clearly did not want to deal with guests of Black African descent ( in my opinion) as she was not the same with other non nlack African guests that arrived after us.
However, when we returned at 3pm to check into our rooms it was a different experience. The gentleman and lady at the reception were very pleasant ,helpful,& couteous. The hotel rooms and stay was really nice , very clean airconditioned rooms, lovely shower, toiletries and towels. Kettle and beverages available on request.
It is a shame the overall experience was made less than pleasant by one person
Medium size hotel. 15 min walk from Garbatella Metro stop, or 25 min from Piramide Metro stop. Nice area. Functional room. Rome is massively expensive after covid so be preoaref to dish out over a 100€ for..nothing much really.
