Morgana Hotel, Rome

We made a reservation thru the internet for 3 nights/non-smoking for 125 Euro/night during July 2006. As soon as we entered our room, we had to request for a room change. The air-condition is extremely loud that my husband couldn't hear me talk at all. The room is so tiny and old. The bathroom is stinky and it's so small that can't even fit a regular bath tub in. So we went down to request a different room, the staff told us with my rate, that's what we can get. So she suggested us to upgrade our room for 20 euro extra/night. We just had to take it since we know we would not be able to rest at all with that loud air-conditioning. The up-graded room is still not renovated like it said in their web-site. The room is still not in good shape, but the bathroom has a tub and cleaner than the other one. Most important is that the air-conditioning is quieter. The room still has ash-tray like the first room. My husband called front-desk, and the staff said if we don't smoke, it just became a non-smoking room. So this hotel actually don't have non-smoking room at all. We will absolutely not pick this hotel again if we go to Rome again. They claimed the hotel was competely renovated in their web-site----Liar!!!! I wonder how many room they have actually look like the one in their web-site. I can only imagine how many tourists got con into booking their rooms.

I stayed at this hotel 2 weeks ago. We paid 215 eu through the internet. we got a double room with an addtional bed. However the place we stayed was so small we only had 12 inches between our legs to walk around. What is worst is that their first floor windows had grills in them. In an event of fire, since all the hotels wall are paded and floors carpeted and they have only one fire exit which the doors are always open you know what will happen. On the bright side, they have helpful staff and better buffet breakfast and a toilet as big as the small room.

I stayed at Hotel Morgana for a couple of nites in July, 2004 after booking with them online. The room I received was sub-par and very small. The air conditioning was an in-room unit that was loud and clunked off and on all night. You can imagine with the heat in Rome. In addition, this is a favorite stop for tour groups, which the hotel seems to cater more to than their individual guests. So a tour group arrives in the AM, grabs the good rooms and then we arrived in the late afternoon to check in, only the lesser rooms were available. While the price was affordable, I would have gladly paid additional $$ to stay somewhere else and get a decent night's sleep.
