Hotel Castellino Roma

Hotel

Lovely and historic avenue, its a prominent tourist hub in the centre of Rome. It receives as much two thousand tourist hoovering around per day. Piazza Venezia a solid security on guard, some in uniforms, while others in casual attires. I love the avenue and its massive historical statutes of valiant warriors and chaveliers.

Venice Square with the huge Victor-Emmanuel Palace is one of the most "central" Roman places… Wherever you go in the Eternal City Center — no-no, and notice in the prospects of the avenue or the street its giant building, significantly towering over the rest of the urban space … Many things — both majestic and pompous — in this square and in front of the palace itself… But even more lurks behind its corners — here you and the Forum, here you and the Colosseum) ) …

Absolutely gorgeous monument. Sometimes some of the areas are not open, but in general you can access most of it. Beautiful architecture that must be visited by anyone going nearby. Very beautiful at night too. Free entrance and has a little art museum inside, pretty cool!

Italians give nicknames to this monument "big typewriter, " "inserted jaw. " That's my opinion for them. But still write) ) I really liked it. It's powerful, pathetic, grandiose. Maybe I've just never seen such a big monument, which is why I was so impressed. And we walked around Rome at night, got to the full moon — VITTORIANO looked even more impressive.

Its absolutely an amazing awe inspiring place when you first arrive. Its simply an amazing engineering marvel. The design and build is spectacular. This piazza is the center of the most historic parts of Rome. The bus service and tram service, starts and departs from here. Its really a beautiful place to visit.

When we took the tour bus and passed this piazza… we knew right away, we had to come back! We didn't take a tour inside but just admiring the beautiful architecture and statue, it is so worth it already! It is one of the most popular tourist attraction spots. Just breathtaking to see such history in the middle of the city.

Here you can admire and visit the Victorian. Imposing monument that can be noticed everywhere during the visit of Rome. It is the altar of the homeland where the most important celebrations are made. The Unknown Soldier is also resting here. From the terraces you can see the whole city.

I loved it. I loved toasting the whole. World in line. It's not good but it's good.

Location quite impressive by the size of the monument. It is worth the detour if not to be visited. Enjoy to get on the square of the Capitol next door which is worth for the view of the Vatican and the ruins of the Roman Forum and Trajan.

Super impressive monument laden with history. It must be seen in real terms to realize the presence of this building.

The Piazza Venezia and the Mussolini Palace in Rome (Italy, Europe) are great. You need to come to Rome and see everything with your own eyes. The Mussolini Palace is built of white marble remnants from the Coliseum! It is necessary to arrive in Rome until the attitude to Benito Mussolini has not changed. And the palace was not disassembled into pieces. One day this desire of the Romans arose.

Rome Tour in 1 day?
This may be the 8th stage.
You are walking from the mouth of truth and, if you still have both hands, you can put yourself in front of the typewriter… I do not mean a keyboard, but the altar of the fatherland, as it is said amicably by the Romans!
The mausoleum is the most recent construction visited so far in our mini-tour, but it deserves for its grandeur and majesty; Wishing, turning around on the right, you can climb to the Capitol along the path of Monte Caprino… Bargains for the luckiest!
In the next stage we are reconsidered in antiquity: Fori Imperiali.

This is my favorite place in Rome. Captures its greatness! Climbing up the steps, on the back side of Vittoriano, you can take the elevator to the observation deck, which offers a chic view of the city.

Piazza Venezia is an evocative piazza in Rome. It is located at the foot of the Capitol. From this square several very important roads branch out. Just remember the equally beautiful way of the imperial forums.
The current form of the pizza of form is the result of the many interventions of demolitions and reconstructions, which succeeded, until the beginning of 1900.
A big change occurred with the construction of the monument Il Vittoriano, dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II, where it is also hosted by 1921 the Unknown Soldier. For its construction were demolished several buildings also valuable.
Then the insurance palace was built, in front of Palazzo Venezia, with the same essential architectural lines.
Curiosity: Every year during the Christmas period, a fir tree is placed appropriately decked out as a Christmas trees.
Another feature is also that of the watchman placed on the square, near the intersection with Via del Corso. In a suitable platform, today made so that when it is not needed, it can be lowered to the level of the road surface. This was the object and scenography of various films, such as the famous "Roman Holiday".

Grandeur at its most. The Romans sure knows how to show off. They build things at a grand scale with details to match. You can only appreciate it best by coming here yourself.

Rome retains a timeless charm and surprises me every time I return. From its large squares to its charming alleys in the centre. The amazing archaeological area unparalleled in the world. The beautiful Piazza Venezia that between evening and Day has an always spectacular view, a point of the city that you can not miss to go to visit.

We were on our way to the colosseum when we 'bumped' into this. Such an amazing building. Very pompous but intriguing at the same time. Entrance is free and you can climb the stairs all the way to the top and have a nice view of the city. If you walk across the street you can take nice pictures from the grass.

Amazing architecture, massive beautiful monument. It is in the central hub of Rome, in which several thoroughfares intersect. A must see when visiting Rome.

My favorite monument in Rome, it imposes as we say in our home…
We took the elevator to ride with the children (10 euros for us 4), an impressive view despite a grey weather…
The Colosseum is just a few steps away.
To do.

Grand! If you spend the morning, you can see a policeman do the traffic with a calm Olympian in this road capharnaum. Respect!

It one of the most visit site in Rome. Though not as old as most historic sites around it, this has got a charm of its own. Some parts are open for visit. I loved the beautiful view from the top. Just be side the basilica looking down through the city.

It’s amazing place, You can felling civilization there to Roma and it’s wonderful place for photos memories with your friends and it’s helpful people there really I’m I enjoyed there when I spend four days and you can walk to the garden by foot and it’s beside Roman forum because is the central hub of Roma from my point of view when you will going Roma must visit venezia.

Impressions are unforgettable! From the square you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Capitol Hill Slope. Colossal, Majestic Ile-Vótoriano (monument to King Victor-Emmanuel II), built in the early 20th century and next to the ruins of the forum of Emperor Trajan with the famous column of the II-th centuries, in honor of PRINCEPSA-Commander! Behind the "typewriter" there is a staircase to the church of the Early Middle Ages Santa Maria in Aracheli, where the magnificent wedding took place! Truly Rome is the Eternal City!

We drove past this several times, and on our last day we got a chance to walk to and around it. It's beautiful. This piazza is more beautiful than the Spanish steps. The detail and vast size is impressive. I think this is worth a visit.

Impressive, impressive, impressive, … Impressive! Nn there is nothing in the world so impressive!
Without seeing and Dificult believe! The grandeur, the details, the beauty are all to the superlative when you are on the spot! If you are in the area nn lose location to immortate this beauty on your phone or camera!

A must see from Rome. A large square with monumental buildings and a great view. There is a lot of car traffic, with the inconvenience of having to cross the streets in the Italian style (encouragement and the bull). I recommend the Palace of Venice and the "typewriter", no need to pay entrance to enjoy it.

A beautiful place, I won't tire of seeing it. A huge square full of good architecture and beautiful sculptures. You can go up a staircase to the main part, guarded by two armed men.

Impressive both day and night. Tremendous building that also houses a museum inside. Upstairs you have a fantastic terrace.

A very nice place, it is immense, although the traffic makes it difficult to contemplate. But in General it has a spectacular infrastructure which is worth visiting. From either side you look at it has much to observe and contemplate. The garden that is in the middle of the street makes it more beautiful.

Huge space, breathtaking from what we saw. On the street local in costumes Romans offer to make selfies (most likely for money. Never used such services, but just in case-take care of your pockets). A great place to explore the Italian culture, but not for romantic walks. Very large stream of tourists not even in tourist time.

Very spectacular, climb up a bit tired … Stairs can not sit on people, go up to view the ancient Roman ruins and Colosseum.

Fantastic and impressive place, statues etc really great and fascinating. It is absolutely breathtaking to look at. Inside also great. Lots of nice good paintings. Be sure to take the elevator upstairs. View of "All" Rome, just super nice. 1 ☆ Deduction as the lift €10 costs: — (and the opening times are too Short (19h). Otherwise absolutely recommended.

Historical square where in addition to Piazza Venezia is also on site Palazzo Venezia where historically Mussolini pronounced various speeches from the birth of the Italian Empire to the declaration of War to the British and its allies. From the square you have the vision on the Victorian which is a monument dedicated to the Unknown soldier and to all the soldiers of the First World War. To the side are various and historical churches including the Basilica in San Marco.

Just wow, such a monstrous building you don't see every day.

Very beautiful area. If you do not like historical ruins and stones, this place is definitely not for you. But if you are interested to see the historical places and dream up "as it was hundreds of years ago", then you will definitely like it. You can walk around a lot of places! ) ) )

A place you might have to visit. Without a doubt, one of the places with the most history of Italy of the last century.
It is a very large square, with a building at the end of the spectacular square. Right next door you find the beginning of the Roman Forum.

Bombastic building, an impressive Eherndenkmal for the Italian military and King Vittorio Emanuele, must look at all the halls in the interior and at the entrance of head cover absolutely take off, the admission is free.

A very amazing powerful almost even oppressive backdrop but simply fascinating. Recommendation: Go up and take the elevator up on the back. The view is breathtaking.

For me the most beautiful building. Take the elevator up… superb view.

Beautiful architecture. Several museums are located there. One can go up the stairs and through the right passage, you will get to a lookout on the Roman forum and the coluseum. Also, for a small price, one can get up on the roof to one of the best lookouts in the city.

A place as strong as our Place de l'etoile in Paris. The Piazza Venezia is the symbolic place of the unification of Italy and this building is just sublime. I highly recommend taking the free panoramic lift for the under-18s for adults. The view is UNIQUE!

Impressive to take the elevator to the back of the monument and to meet on the large terrace: What a beautiful view offered of the whole Roman city… (with a little payment for the elevator. )

Without a doubt, one of the most impressive squares of all Rome, with the famous monument to Victor Manuel.
You can go up to the roof for a price of 10 euros, although I see excessive.
Anyway, without the need to climb you can enjoy wonderful views from this place. I recommend going to the sunset.

A great must see in rome. The monument is absolutely massive and its free. Inside is a massive museum that you can easily get lost in! There are plenty of boats, planes and great articles inside. On the outside there is a massive fire and some guards that were edging cloaer and closer to it (it was cold in December! ). Its worth seeing :).

To visit this monument you do not have to pay an entrance fee. However inside there are two small museums where a ticket must be paid but only if you want to enter the rooms of the museum, and you also pay a ticket to climb to the top of the monument on the terrace that sovereign Rome. For those larger than 25 years ticket and 10 euros, in my opinion it is worth going up on the terrace. I didn't see the museums inside but I saw Rome from the top, and it was a show.
Wow, what to say, how to start, what I look like… Maybe you better go and see it so you will remain amazed and speechless like me, for those who saw it knows what I mean.
The majesty of this monument is incredible, it represents the strength and the importance that Rome and Italy transmitted to the dominated peoples. Also symbol of the unification of Italy.
Good visit EnJ Harms.

Beautiful view! Not even need to approach the building is unbelievable and keeps all its even remotely. The building dubbed "the Typewriter" is accessible from all sides, and for the courageous ones who climb the markets The view is impregnable and the flame escape from its center and impressive. It allows a fluid articulation is poetic between the present Rome to which it faces and the ancient Rome that extends to its aftermath.

Beautiful Monument. If you go up to the rooftop there are incredible views.
Although you have to be careful with the square itself, for the traffic that it houses. But carefully you can enjoy a nice view.

Rome is my city. Piazza Venezia is one of the many wonders that leaves you breathless both for the altar of the fatherland, try to climb in a panoramic elevator on the terrace of the Victorian you can admire Rome from above. Around there are many roads leading into the centre (Via del Corso, Colosseum, stairways to Campidoglio etc. ) The traffic is the mistress I recommend attention to the machines and scooters do not even stop on the strips because you do not see.

Everyone who visits Rome will sooner or later land at Piazza Venezia. This place is located in the heart of Rome, at the end of Via del Corso. From here it is just a short walk to some of Rome's most famous sights.

Foundational monument of the celebration of the collective image of the nation. The skills and constructive abilities of the time were visually highlighted. After the 1 World War, some historians define it the 4 of independence, is given recognition and gratitude to a specimen of the many strangers who have sacrificed for an idea of a nation that we are still to perceive but that in the monuments finds Eloquent illustration.
Beautiful realization by invoice and complexity helps to understand the commitment to the unification of Italy.

Beautiful. Square overlooking the fifteenth-century Palazzo Venezia. This square is famous so it is useless to linger. I recommend to those who are in those parts and did not know it yet, to take a ride to the nearby Piazza Margana. It is a medieval square called by the Tower of the same name. It becomes Godibilissima if you are lucky and you find it without parked cars. If you want to make a wonderful. Walk to Rome less known and less crowded than tourists you take away the dolphins and you get to Largo Arenula, passing by. Mattei Square with the beautiful turtle fountain.

Lots of traffic — but in a café you can enjoy the hustle and bustle.

Beautiful building of Rome. Very beautiful and very tall. Plus it overlooks the city. At night it remains just as majestic thanks to the spotlights that illuminates it. A must see.

A big square with the biggest monument in Europe. The monument homage to Victor Manuel is much bigger than it seems. Only the horse measures 12x12 meters. In his belly was made a dinner for 24 people. Go up the stairs and in the back there is an elevator that takes you to the lookout. It's worth going up and seeing Rome from the top.

Piazza Venezia may sometimes look like a traffic island, but it has an incredible history at the centre of Roman life. Here you can see traces of many eras from Ancient Rome, through Michelangelo and Mussolini to the Modern age. It's worth reading up on the history to truly understand the importance of this place.

Great place to experience the Roman traffic. Very much alive.

Totally awesome and breathtaking, among exciting and beautiful. You will certainly return to this location over and over. The surroundings are full of a variety of unlimited shopping and places to dine and wine, it can get pretty crowded, but nevertheless you’re experience total enjoyment. You must visit the wax museum while in the area.

It is a compulsory visit in Rome… No need to look for it! Almost by inertia you will pass by if you are a tourist in Rome surrounded by the ruins of the ancient Roman Empire, there is a lot of history to discover… After a while you can have a coffee or something to eat in one of the many restaurants or cafes around… At night in some of the walls of the ruins they project small short films where they emulate the facades of the old buildings…

It is advisable to see the inner museum as the visit makes you go up the inner stairs seeing everything. The museum is military. When you get upstairs you go out to a kind of balcony where you see the whole square Venice. This summer was under construction and lost a little charm. There's a lot of surveillance on the part of military and police but it gives security.

Nice square. Spectacular view of the altars Della Patria and from it. Ideal to rest after touring the Roman Forum.

Really cool scenery. You just have to see once a day and 1x in the evening. Always something going on and central to some more sights.

The visit of the monument is especially recommended at sunset. You drive with a lift (7 euro) at the back upwards to the panoramic terrace. A great view of Rome in all directions.

This very scenic, grand and beautiful place. This is one of the guarded place in Rome. There is a bus stop just across the road and also a metro station not too far making it well reachable. There is no entry fee. The only challenge is crossing the road from the bus stop. There is no footbridge or underpass for walkers. Parking your own vehicle is impossible here.

Historical place, important point of reference, great landmark, almost like a piazza of the world — with people of all nationalities and so many different walks of life passing through. A good hub for various means of transport to reach any part of the city by public transport. It is also a good meeting point for all even those who are in the city for the first time.

Venice Square is indeed magnificent, is the largest square in Rome, the morning and sunset in Venice Mall is very beautiful. The square is about 520 metres from the Colosseum and is a free tour of retro buildings, with many tourists taking photos here. Need to climb a lot of stairs. Standing in the Venetian mall, looking at the perimeter, a rainbow in the morning, and a beautiful building in the afternoon orange-red sunset, and the cloud Sea, which makes me unable to shift my vision and move my feet, is a stunning amazing in an absolutely beautiful scene.

Beautiful! Avoid visiting after 2pm the Sun hits hard!

Very beautiful Venetian palace on one side and huge white building of the other one called typewriter with statues and flames of unknown Soldier.

This building and very impréssionant. It dominates the square and puts it in our eyes. It is free to go up and have a nice view.
Inside, there is a museum, I did not visit it but it looked interesting.

Recent Monument of Rome but very beautiful.

Climbed the stairs to the top which has an amazing view! The statues are huge. Also known as the Wedding cake.

Great photo op spot. Incredible stuff to look at. Everyone else's reviews already cover the essentials. Looks great at night too.

The location is quite simply equipped and very well-tapped. However, this can be a pain because the food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and open and the prices stay within the frame.
Conclusion: recommended.

Dramatic buildings, especially the Capitol, which marks the high point of modern Italian hubris. The ruins all around reflect a time when Rome ruled the world, but the biggest and gaudiest building dates from 2, 000 years after the peak. Compare and contrast, as they say in exams.

Very nice imposing place. At the top you will find a little replica of the wolf. Then a very nice view on the forum.

In a square the condensed Italian history. The Forum of Trajan, the Palazzo Venezia, the balcony of Napoleon's mother, the one from which Mussolini declared World War II, the Church of St. Mark, the Roman insula, the Campidoglio, with the wonders Michelangiolesche, the place where Peter and Paul were detained, the place where useless and inert politicians look at "Rome that looks like a dog in the midst of pigs", as Francesco De Gregorian says. But there is so much more!

I recommend climbing to the top of the Victorian to enjoy a nice view. On the square there is also the library of History of art and archaeology, well-stocked and beautiful to see. From Piazza Venezia You can go both to the Victorian museum, to the left, and to the museum under the stairs of the same. Often there are interesting exhibits that are worth seeing. Also, from the Square, continuing on via Vittorio Emanuele, you can go to Largo Argentina, Piazza Navona and Pantheon.
In front of the Victorian, finally, there is way of course.

The Palazzo Venezia, seat of the government during fascism, gives its name to the square. From here you can see, in addition to the already mentioned palazzo, also the neighbour and similar of the general Insurances, the Trajan's column, the almost twin churches of Our Lady of Loreto and the name of Mary, the Colosseum in the background, the Church of Ara Coeli, the "machine from Write ", Piazza del Popolo at the end of the course, the palace where he lived Letizia Ramolino and… that Add… we are in Rome!

One of the most emblematic places in Rome. A demonstration of how in this city, which has always been built on itself, in a period instead of its history, there has been someone ' ' he ' ' who has felt the need to make room to represent himself. The Palazzo Venezia, has witnessed incredulous to the demolition of medieval houses that overlooked the Piazzetta S. Marco. Today, together with the Palazzo delle Assicurazioni Venezia, on the balcony of Madama Letizia Buonaparte and at the altar of the fatherland are spectators of a great crossroads where the only memory that makes you smile is the platform of the Pizzardone, in the middle of the square (now retractable but Mars) where Alberto Sordi vigilante, in Bolognini's film, dominated the traffic.

Very striking to see the palace with the large Italian flags and the guards at the door. It makes you feel Italian, despite not being.

One of the views most beautiful of rome to go to Castelli's in front to eat profiteroles.

Very nice, very impressive. But they want to charge 5 euros to go up in a lift up, or that 80% of things you have to pay, it seems to me something abusive. And more when the majority of workers are volunteers from the catholic church. But very impressive place.

You fly the head of the square. On a side Roma and the other the Museum. Waw!

A great place with a lot of traffic.

Huge and very impressive.

Historical square, for Italians has a symbolic meaning. We hope to become Metro line c.

Nice place, but all outstanding building is not really old.

A nice place in the heart of Rome.

Very nice place with impressive buildings.

Great stay, unforgettable room with Jacuzzi and great staff …
We were pampered …

Interestingly, during the Roman Republic, with VI on I century BC, the place where now stands the area was an important strategic center, where Flaminia crossed the road leading North to the present city of Rimini, and Serview wall — the first wall built around Rome. The architectural dominant of the square is the national monument of the Vittoriano, which is often called the “Altar of the Fatherland. ” This powerful structure that rises on the Northern slope of the Capitoline hill, dedicated to the first king of a United Italy to Victor Emmanuel the Second. The monument, which had to be demolished medieval quarters, was built 26 years; from 1885 to 1911. After the First World war, to this was added a part dedicated to the Unknown soldier. His final appearance, the altar of the Fatherland acquired in 1935. The monument is made in the form of a gigantic altar, with a colonnade. In the center rises the monument to Victor Emmanuel II. The figure of the king, cast in bronze, has a height of about 30 meters. The monument is decorated with statues and fountains. The locals dislike this monument because of its size and the ornateness of the decor and often call it the wedding cake or the typewriter. Inside the monument is a Museum of the Italian national liberation movement Risorgimento.

If I could give this place negative stars I would for having false advertising. The location is good, walking distance to most tourist spots. But everything else, including the service, is horrible. The rooms are falling apart and look nothing like the pictures in their website (check tripadvisor for pictures from guests). The A/C is centralized and they turn it off at night, frustrating in the 30+ Celsius weather. There is no Wi-Fi except in a corner on the 2nd floor. Some of the staff were ok, but some go out of their way to make you regret staying there.

When you look at the site of this hotel in the internet you think this is a nice hotel but when you get there you are shocked! it is definitely different from what you saw at the web, the room is small and narrow, the bathroom is very small and the bath is very very small (it is a half sitting bath that you can't stant at), and the sink Ceramics was broken! the walls are dirthy, the air condition is opening when the hotel want to open it. And you have internet connection just in 1 place in the hotel near the elevator in floor 2 so you need to go there to get 1 line of connection Wifi. Also the Chambermaids are working and doing noise till 16:00 everyday and because the doors of the room is very thin if you want to sleep in floor 2 after your flight you can't (the collection room of all the sheets from the hotel is there). The double bed is 2 single beds that combain together so you need to bring them closer each night when they are getting far. It is need to call motel and not hostel. It was ugly to be there, and because thery are calling themself 3 stars hotel you need to pay tax of 2 euro to the government about eveynight you sleep there, I asked other people about this hotel and they told me that in floor 4 you have dirty carpets at the rooms that they was Disgusted to step at them I saw hostels that is better than this hotel! my advice is to search other hotels in Rome that respect you and that publish truth in the internet site and not to get to this hotel,

Horrible experience which could have been averted with proper customer service. Small rooms, moldy bathrooms. Under maintained on a whole.

Super Hotel! ID like to come again!

We had to stay from 20/02 to 14/02 we had fortunately booked by telephone without giving any advance. When you arrive at the hotel and had the keys to the room we realized that the photos on their website are F A L S E! The hotel was dirty, smelly, claustrophobic rooms, huge BLOBs with filthy, hygiene is helpful and the same room had all facilities corroded and medical staff were "unsafe". The lighting is almost absent, non-existent. We immediately asked to change room but the room shown to us was a disaster, even in the latter lacked air conditioning and for Earth had placed a space heater. We got away from that place immediately and we didn't pay fortunately no penalty! I have pictures that prove what described of course!

We just got back from Rome just two days ago, and despite the heat, we have been happy, of the city, of its people. The hotel is very good, central, and nothing expensive. A hotel kid, very clean, cozy. In short, a wonderful holiday. Looking forward to returning!
