The hotel is very basic at best. The rooms were quite small and needed updating,especially the bathrooms. The beds were quite comfortable and the included breakfast was adequate. The worst thing about the Hotel for us was the location. It was in the commercial part of Rome,a bus ride away from the centre. If you there on a Sunday - everything around will be closed.
We stayed at the Caravel on 14 - 16 March. Hotel was clean and tidy. Not in the city centre, but only 10 minute walk from Metro and then a 10 minute metro journey. Bus stop just a few minutes away. Plumbing was noisy as were some of the other guests (on the Saturday night). Hotel is on a busy street with lots of traffic - although we were not facing the road and it wasn't too bad. Continental breakfast was very good. Alcohol prices not bad for hotel, but barman did try to over-charge us and was seen doing the same to another customer - so check bills! All in all, this hotel just about did the trick for our purpose (rugby Italy v Wales) for the price paid.

I traveled to Rome for 3 days. The location of the hotel is not great, it is quite far from the metro station, and the bus service in Rome is complicated. Besides this, the personel from the hotel is steeling youre clothes and personal things. The lady who came into our room to clean, stoled a pair of pants and a pack of cigarets, later on I asked a lady who was working there, and she said that this is not for the first time that it has happend, that it is was a very comune situation. They did not give any kind of compensation, more than that, they were looking at us like some kind of trouble makers. FOR SURE I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO CARAVEL AGAIN!

I liked very much that Hotel. It has a very good location, 10 minutes from the metro station Garbatella from where you can go in all the places. The breakfast was delicious, we also had a mini-fridge with 2 bottles of mineral water wich were exactly what we needed when we used to arrive at 11 pm in the room. There is also a supermarket near this Hotel. A very nice and polite girl cleaned our room every morning and we were very happy with that. In the room there were very beautiful pictures with views of the city of Rome. I will definitely stay again there and I hope the conditions will remain the same. Thank you for everything ! The Christmas in Rome was a dream and it came true !

We stayed for two nights at the Caravel as a part of a Cosmos tour to Italy & Greece. Overall its a decent pick for the location and proximity to the Colosseum and (25 minutes away by bus) Pantheon, Spanish steps and Trevi Fountain. Expect this hotel to be somewhat like a Days Inn or Howard Johnson. Go here if you are on a budget and are looking to crash for a few nights and stay out most of the day. Our rooms were relatively clean and the breakfast buffet was not too bad. The negatives are - Out dated room from the 80's, hotel staff who did not help when asked for directions and noise from the road outside.

We stayed here on the first leg of our Cosmos tour to Rome. The room was extremely tiny and very basic. The room wasn't the cleanest or the most comfortable, just very basic. There was quite a bit of noise from our neighbours. Sadly, the lady in the reception wasn't so helpful in helping us find our way around Rome, so we mostly relied on our guide book. That said, the hotel is just a 10 min bus ride from central Rome, where all the touristi-stuff is, so the location was great. Also, the continental breakfast at this hotel was pretty decent.

the hotel is very bad located. Far away of everything.and the bus service in Rome is complicated because of the traffic. So we wasted a lot of time in the buses trying to get to the downtown instead of have fun and actually known the spectacular city of Rome. Besides the receptionist were not nice. always mad at everything. And the hotel is old and the rooms not so clean. I would not get back to this hotel.

We booked this hotel last November for a stay of 7 nights from 7th May through alpharooms.com. On arrival we were told that we could not stay and were directed to Hotel Bled. Although the same grade it was very shabby and the room allocated had no waste plug for the washbasin and no hot water. We eventually managed to get the manager to transfer us to Hotel Torino. This was a vast improvement.

Stayed for 3 nights at the Caravel, was very clean and tidy, rooms cleaned and beds made/fresh towels on a daily basis. Staff friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was nice. Hairdryers in rooms were rubbish though! Bus stop down the road taking you to all major attractions, although there wasnt much to do in the local area everything closed quite early. Would stay there again.
