Hotel Dolce Villa, Providence

My best friend is getting married in two weeks so we decided to rent a room in Providence for her bachelorette party. We had never stayed on Federal Hill before so we were thrilled with the location. It's right in the middle of all the action! The rooms were pristine white and spacious and the staff was friendly and accepting of a large group of loud women. Overall it was a great stay!

For the area the price is great. Buts its really dirty. they are all white so you can see how dirty it is. It also smells of mildew. My 1 bedroom suite only had 1 cup and it was broken. It also only had 1 set of silverware? I found dead bugs in my room, with the white floors they were hard to miss. Also I didn't have a flat screen TV like it said on the website? Everyone was nice, price was only $129, the jacuzzi hot tub was nice, the location was great...but I wouldn't stay again

I have stated at Hotel Dolce 4 different times. By far Hotel Dolce Villa is the only place to stay in Providence. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and located right in the heart of great Italian resturants, and deli, and bakerys. The manager Steve could not be more helpful. He and his staff are top shelf!! Rooms have friges, microwaves, and stoves with ovens. Having a whirlpool tub isnt hard to take either. It is truly a great experience to stay at Hotel Dolce as well as taste all that Federal Hill has to offer.

I booked for a bday weekend in the city. I loved every bit of it! The room was spotless, the staff was amazing and it was a suite for the price of a regular hotel room. I will definatly be back!

Federal Hill was a great destination and we saw pictures of the Villa at the Hotel Dolce Villa in DePasquale Plaza. We expected a cozy romantic spot for a getaway but The pictures on the website do not tell the story about the "Authentic Villa" Dirty and scary will tell you what to expect. $400 per night???? no toilet paper? Mis-matched curtains, thrift shop furniture, filthy refrigerator.. I could go on and on. This rental could be really cool but it is so lame that I wanted to shower after leaving. Dinner at Mediteranneo (across the plaza)was excellent, waking up in the "Villa" was worse than disappointing. Never looked at the hotel rooms

At first, the entrance was clean, but disarmingly small, but we walked to the right, to the first floor to our room , 3-4 doors down on the left. The room was ALL WHITE, perfectly clean and spacious an unexpected kitchen and seating area were upon entry, and then a hall to the bedroom and bath. The bath, although small was clean and fine for one at a time, when do you want to share space in a bath? The bedroom all white, and clean, and comfortable beds, ( I wanted a splash of RED, or just one color-- a throw across the bed) but it was neat, clean and tidy ( I'm a clean freak). NO problems in and out with the valet parking, and pleasant recommendations by the front desk staff. All in all a very enjoyable stay, there was some noise in alley, trash trucks, but what city doesn't have that? We visited all the restaurants in the area, and enjoyed our stay, very relaxing. THX I am re-booking in Jan. 08 right now.-- M

My husband and I were in Providence for our daughter's graduation and spent six nights at the Dolce Villa, May 2007. Pro's: Valet parking, good location Con's: Uncomfortable beds; only ceiling fluorescent lights (a lamp by the bed would be nice to read by); all cool white everything (walls, floors, furniture) so with the fluorescent lighting, unpleasant and harsh; six nights of a plugged bathroom sink which was never repaired despite notifying the manager the first morning after our arrival and on subsequent days; small windows on an alley with dumpsters; no elevator so carry your own luggage up three flights of stairs; is there a towel shortage? we only received one washcloth; very over-priced - $1,500 for our stay.

Bad Service. Did not like my keys hanging on the wall behind the unoccupied front desk. Had to wait for my car while Brad the manager of the hotel was next door talking and eating holding his finger up telling me to wait a minute as I look inside the cafe through the front window! Room keys that are not electronic and modern CAN YOU SAY SCARY! I layed in bed hoping that someone that might have made a copy of the key would sneak back in or come in while I was away. The key was like a gas station bathroom key with a big plate! No carpeting to help with noise and make it more cozy and comfortable. Everything is white making it more like a mental institution. No color on the walls!?! Small Bathrooms. Rats running around outside that scared my daughter! A really bad trash smell and unless you stay in the front balcony, you will not get a view! Our view was of a dark dirty alley way full of trash and rodents! I am not kidding!! You can hear every noise in the hallway and every door opening and closing! Did I mention there is NO ELEVATOR and my room was on the third floor!!

The hotel was very nice. Very comfortable and very clean. I had never been so well accommodated on a trip. I was very relaxed for my entire stay.

My wife and I traveled cross-country after Brad at the hotel volunteered the information that they had Tempurpedic Mattresses. We called on 3 occasions to be certain that it wasn't a generic memory foam bed, as my wife has a health condition and can only sleep on the real thing. Upon arriving very late, it became clear that the beds were not Temporpedic. The girl swore that they were. The next day Brad told us we must have misunderstood the words "memory-foam" beds on the website (we never saw the website), as it does not Say Tempurpedic. He should have just admitted that he and everyone else at the hotel, except whomever purchased the cheap imitations didn't know, and apologize for the horrible situation. We were booked for 8 nights. After the 4th night of trying to make it work, we had to leave, as my wife couldn't move and was in terrible pain from no sleep since arriving. We learned when we returned home that the hotel had charged us for the full 8 nights; at the most it should have been 3, since we were looked in the eye and promosed that we would get one night for free for all of our trouble. We are now in dispute about the charges. DO NOT STAY HERE. STAY ANYWHERE ELSE.
