Lovely hotel,located in the cosmopolitan San Lorenzo area of Rome. 15 minutes walk from Termini Station. A stunning building surrounding a beautiful garden with an accessible rooftop garden terrace. We stayed for 6 nights. Rooms were lovely, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Loads of fantastic restaurants in the locale. The whole area feels very safer,loads of families in the local park. Loved our time here.

“Delightful hotel”

The lounge, garden area, and rooftop terrace are lovely and add a special quality to the hotel. The breakfast is excellent. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are efficient and friendly. Great restaurants in the neighbourhood. Would definitely stay again.

“A 3-star experience”

I’m not sure I would classify the Ateneo Garden Palace Hotel as a 4 star property. Based on the limited amenities, dated décor, and several in room issues—such as unreliable Wi Fi, poor lighting, and the lack of basic conveniences like a kettle or coffee maker—it felt more in line with a 3 star experience. Room & Décor: Our double standard room was very spacious with high ceilings, which was a positive. Lighting was good in the bathroom and sleeping area, but the middle of the room—around the desk and armoire—was extremely dim. The décor throughout the hotel is noticeably dated, with drapes and furnishings that appear several decades old. In room amenities were minimal: aside from a TV, mini fridge, and safe, there were no coffee or tea options. Bathroom: The bathroom had several maintenance issues. The door scraped heavily against the floor and required force to close. Parts of the shower caulking were blackened, and there was only one hook for bath towels, which were very thin. The hand towel bar was positioned awkwardly low beside the bidet. The faucets were old and difficult to turn. The bathroom had only a bathtub, which felt worn and flimsy—the bottom flexed noticeably underfoot. Noise & Wi Fi: Soundproofing was poor. We could clearly hear voices from the hallway, the adjacent room, and even conversations from the street, suggesting single pane windows. Wi Fi in our room (201) was extremely unreliable. It worked only intermittently near the door, and neither of our laptops could connect at all. We ended up using phone roaming hotspots or relocating to common areas for a stronger signal. Amenities & Common Areas: The hotel has no restaurant, gym, or pool. Although the website mentioned a bar, there was none during our stay in May 2026, which the front desk confirmed. The lounge area near reception is also dated and not particularly inviting. There is no comfortable space to sit and work—common areas consist mainly of oversized vinyl or leather chairs with small side tables, and the lighting at the in room desk was too dim to be functional. Breakfast: Our rate included breakfast on the rooftop terrace, which has glass walls and offered a pleasant setting thanks to the weather. The food selection, however, was underwhelming. There was limited fresh fruit (a few whole apples), and the hot items were limited to lukewarm eggs and overly salty bacon. The buffet did include cereals, yogurt, toast, and pastries, but overall the selection felt modest for a hotel marketed as 4 star.
