Hotwire Hotel: 4* Rome (Vatican City) Donna Laura Palace

[Snuffleupagus]

Amenities include: Free Internet, Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access

Have to admit, not too excited about this considering the price they had marked out $210 and when you go to Expedia you can get the same room for only $10. As one BB user said it, Rome is too unpredictable to do priceline / hotwire as the rating are a little skewed and the savings are never too large. I'm going to try to get my money back.

Sorry to hear you're not that happy with the results on this one, but fortunately for just one nite and not an entire overseas trip.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List.

Enjoy your stay... hope it goes better then expected.

I had a look at the Tripadvisor traveller photos and the hotel doesn't look too bad at all. Also the reviews are generally quite positive. For one night, I'd take it and not worry about complaining or trying to get your money back, at the end of the day you knew the chances you were taking when buying an opaque hotel, and for what its worth, the hotel looks about 4* I have stayed in 5* properties (St Regis Rome and Westin Excelsior) and paid three times that much so from a value point of view $127 isn't too shabby at all.
