Still a Good Hotel After Third Time
My third time at Hotel Corona, staying eight nights at the end of October and early November 2016. I booked direct and was given room 512 and had WiFi included.
The room is on the fifth floor and faces the internal courtyard. It’s the same size as the single in my previous visits but with a larger bed. The only real drawback I found was the location of the bedside powerpoint. It wasn’t above one of the bedside cabinets like in the Single room but above the bed mattress on the side where the built-in wardrobe was positioned. This meant smartphones and tablets had to sit on the mattress when recharging. A bit awkward.
WiFi worked well in room and in the lobby. The bed was comfortable, sheets and bathroom were clean. The shower head spray wasn’t even. It probably required some cleaning. There were occasions when the hot water in the shower took a few minutes extra.
Air conditioning was switched off but heating was available at colder moments. The housekeepers changed towels, cleaned and tidied the room everyday.
The breakfast this time round had more cakes. On one day we had cornetti as well. If you want espresso coffee always ask. This would be better than the coffee in the pots. The waiting staff are always at your service. At reception it was the same.
I find it hard to believe when reading reviews of this hotel that many say the staff is rude. Being my third time I have not seen arguing yet with any customer. I now have made this hotel my home in Rome every time I’m there. In the not too distant future I’ll be back again.
A bit of advice: always check their website for special prices and remember the city tax of Euro 4 to be added to the nightly price. Also ask about the WiFi beforehand.
