The stuff was friendly and helpful. The place is clean and comfy. Great location.

If you are a light sleeper, this place is not for you! It seems that people do not realize that when they walk along the corridor to their room at midnight, or even at any other time, they need to wait until they reach their room, and not talk loudly in the corridor. Especially calling someone through the door... Other guests may have a rest in other rooms and we have to respect each other. The soundproofing in the hotel is 0, the doors are like paper. In the morning at 7 am, the staff starts talking to each other, preparing breakfast, rattling plates, the smell of frying scramble in the room (even though my room was the very last one in the corridor). Speaking of the breakfast. It’s not worth buying, there are a bunch of good cafes in Rome.

Hotel great! Very nice and friendly staff. Mega helpful. Smiling all the hotel staff! Ladies at the reception desk as well as people working at breakfast - revelation! Room cleaned daily - new towels every day - cleaning ladies perfect! Location - great! Everywhere close! To the largest and most popular sights up to 15 minutes walk. To the Vatican 40 minutes walk or 4 stations by metro. Repubblica metro station 6 minutes walk from the Hotel - metro line A - to Ciampino airport 25min to Cinecitta station + 520 bus under the airport terminal.

No downside

Everything was excellent. It is a great little hotel settled on the 3rd floor of a building, you get your access code to enter through front gate and then go through little yard and on the left side is entrance B and there is an elevator to the 3rd floor. Hotel has really good location, it is 50m from one of the biggest shopping streets Via Nazionale, close to metro station but my recommendation is to go by foot everywhere you can, the city is so lovely and beautiful. It is 12min walk to Fontana di Trevi, 16 minutes walk to Spanish steps, 21 minutes walk to Panteon, 16 minutes walk to Termini station. In front of the hotel there are few restaurants, supermarket, bakery with pizza (EXCELLENT pizza), bar with also some pasta and great sandwiches. At our arrival we and our friends were upgraded in rooms, which is a lovely move from hotel stuff. We got a room 307, a spacious room with 2 + 1 bed (one large for two and one single bed), spacious bathroom with toiletries, slippers and everyday changed towels. Hotel is clean, beds and pillows are very comfortable. There is a room safe who was working perfectly. Hotel stuff ia amazing, very helpful, polite, friendly, they are such a wonderful asset to this hotel. Breakfast is very good with lots of sweet and savory varieties and the coffee that stuff serve to you is to die for. All in all is is a hotel with fantastic value for the money and we will gladly come back and so would our friends who were in Rome for the first time and are stunned with everything.

Nothing.

The location is perfect and the hotel itself is lovely. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful , every request we had was handled quickly and efficiently. We truly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was wonderful, and the rooms were super clean.

The rooms were lovely, just a little dark — not much sunlight coming in. Finding the hotel was a bit of a challenge at first (you have to go through a coded gate and figure out which building it is), but once we got there, it was totally worth it.

Excellent location, comfortable beds, good shower and overall a very welcoming hotel. The location couldn't be any better since it was within a short walk of the centre of Rome, while also being quiet. The staff at reception were all young, welcoming and eager to help - a shoutout to Abigail (if I remember correctly) who was truly great, professional and polite. People like here make one feel at home when staying at a hotel. Funnily enough I've stayed both at Glance in Rome and at Boutique Hotel Galatea, which are both run by the same company and share a building. My general impression is that Glance in Rome has more spacious rooms with antique furniture, whereas Galatea has smaller but more modern rooms. For ambiance I preferred Glance in Rome, but I found Galatea a tiny bit more comfortable and quieter at night.

My only minor complaint is that the Internet provided was quite slow. At times it worked great but at other times - maybe when many guests were using it at the same time? - it was terribly slow. Not a massive issue but there is certainly room for improvement on that front. Another minor criticism is that the lamps next to the bed were quite bright. I usually like reading at night with a dim light in order to unwind after a long day in the city, but the lamps were much too bright for that purpose. It would be great to have slightly less bright - or, even better, dimmable - lamps next to the bed.

The Boutique hotel Galatea where I stayed is in a great location and meets all the needs of a city hotel. The hotel organizes wonderful themed excursions around Rome with a guide every day for its guests, which is great and highly commendable. The highest praise goes to the hotel staff, who are very professional, pleasant and kind. I especially thank you for the wonderful surprises for my birthday. I am delighted. Thanks for everything.

From the moment we arrived, it was evident that we had stumbled upon a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Rome! We were greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for our entire stay. The staff exuded a genuine friendliness, always eager to assist and ensure our comfort. Their willingness to accommodate our needs made us feel valued and appreciated guests. As for the tastefully decorated and well-equipped room, we were pleasantly surprised by the level of cleanliness and attention to detail. Each morning, we were treated to a delightful breakfast - from savoury options to sweet treats, there was something to satisfy all our cravings. For travellers seeking a convenient and reasonably priced stay in the Eternal City, look no further than Hotel Galatea!

The WiFi was unfortunately non-functional during our time here.

We arrived late and texted the night receptionist who arrived promptly to show us to our room. The room was large, very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly, we felt very at home. We had breakfast included in our stay which was varied and very tasty. Over breakfast Davide would give us tips on where to go for the best food, next time we come we’re looking for the best shopping! Trevi, Colosseum and Spanish Steps in walking distance, but we took a taxi to the Vatican Museums as it was so hot. Would recommend this hotel to all, we had a fantastic stay.

Nothing.

Hotel staff was really nice and friendly - they helped us with all questions that we had, even with arranging a taxi to the airport. Breakfast and coffee were nice - especially when we had it outside, on the cosy internal terrace. Location is great, near all main attractions, as well as nice bars and restaurants.

Process for late night check-ins (after 11pm) is a bit sloppy - reception is not 24/7, so there is additional procedure if you’re checking after 11pm. We had some minor complications regarding our late check-in. Soundproof could be better.

Really lovely hotel, nestled in the centre of Rome and a walk from all the main landmarks. The staff were so friendly and really went above and beyond, that coupled with the price and the charm of the room made it a wonderful stay.

Some facilities like restaurant and bar were a short walk away but it didn’t matter as everything else more than made up for it
