We booked this with a multi-city Italian trip thru Costco. Which included airfare and transfers. Although this Hotel is next door to the huge Roma train station and adjoining transportation hub it doesn't get in the way. We feel that the hotel is on the edge of the city tourist attractions. One of the farther away attractions, The Vatican is easily accessible by the Metro (subway) "A" Route for 1.5 Euro. By your tickets in any tobacco store, it's easy. The hoards of train riders are just like us, trying to get somewhere without a hassle. Don't que if you see an opening, move. Anyway back to the Morgana Hotel. The hotel is a very non-descript place around a middle class working neiborhood. Some small restraunts, junk stores, local barbershop. We could walk everywhere except the Varican within 30-45 minutes. Walking is fun in Roma, lots of fun adventure. The hotel lobby is small and crowded with a engaging staff always ready to give cheerfully help. Next room to the lobby is a small bar sitting area with daily treats. Two corridors on either side of the lobby leads to the back breakfast room, a very clean comfortable dining experience. The breakfast was supplied with our executive room (lol) at 15 Euros, a good deal looking at local pricing. The 6:30-10am timing works well with crowds. The selection was good and varied for American & Continental appetites, Coffee Americano- Style was stout and acceptable. I like a shot of expresso in my American Coffee. The food quality was in line with the cost, not great but good & acceptable. I had seconds everyday, good bread, eggs, ham, bacon, fruit, granola, yougurts, quiche,etc. The manager and staff works well together, we're attentive and friendly. At this price level it's a value and very convienent. The hotel is a standard 5-6 story building with a white marble circular staircase and two small (2 person) elevators that are creepy at first but solid. One is faster than the other. The smaller slower elevator has 0,1,2,3 & 9th floor indicators which sent me on a fun ride while not paying attention to the ride. The floors all have a dark blue-ish carpet and nice dark Mahoney doors and trim. Hallways are narrow but cute. Room doors are impressive. Our "Executive Room" 414 on the street view was at first "Shocking", but very Eoro-Friendly. It's not the Executive Rooms at The Palmer House in Chicago. Small but adequate for a place not to live. GET OUTSIDE ITS ROME. Purple striped wallpaper and purple royal bedspread on a very comfortable bed. Small table, 2 chairs, good size closet, minibar ( soft drinks included). Nice window with privacy mesh & dark curtains. Residences across the street. I liked opening the window and hawking a view of the street life below. All the sounds you'd expect to hear. Cars, shuttering business, garbage trucks, people just living. A local Arab, African, Italian neighborhood. The bathroom was small but appointed appropriate, with nice deep narrow tub, shower combo. Hot water was plentiful, Hot and good pressure. Cold water pressure was very weak. Tap water tasted good. The room size made you want to be outside but not closterphobic. The room has a small safe. The cleaning staff was quite good and every desire was taken care of even to the point of staff coming to my room when I called about Internet service. Ok, what I didn't like. The included internet service was very poor, like AOL sometimes. Different parts of the hotel required new logins with the same password. I could get the Internet service by moving to different areas of my king size bed. This is a big show stopper when trying to buy tickets for different venues. Needs to be upgraded. Ok onto the final thoughts. For value, location, quality I'd have to give The Hotel Morgana a Thumbs Up . Fix the Internet was the big issue. Also a Great Staff. Would I come back. Possibly, but I like new experiences. Hopefully I haven't missed to much and Costco reads this review. read more
