This hotel is located centrally, but is not via Veneto .
The place is small and dirty, but after staying in a range of lower cost hotels in Rome, i realised that hotels are in fact dirty, buildings are old and overall standards are low. So this hotel is not different.
3 stars hotels in Rome are more like 1 star anywhere else.

Central location but very average quality hotel

Before stumbling upon the reviews here on tripadvisor, we found mostly good reviews. And the pictures looked OK.

We stayed here in December 2012. For me alone, it would be just what I need. For a romantic weekend - not the right place.

The good stuff:
The people who work there are great
Close to "everything" (cab found in 2 minutes for Vatican etc - £10)
Spacious room, though not very well-kept
Quiet streets outside

The bad stuff:
You have to aim well to be hit by water from the shower
Everytime the neighbour opens his door, it sounds like someone breaking into your room
If you expect Hilton, you've come to the wrong place.
The one night with the noisy neighbours.
You might have to walk 300 meters for breakfast some days.

I can't really say anything really bad about the place except its worn down over a long time and needs a shine-up. Everything we asked politely for was fixed. Phone was answered. I noticed one review where they ran out of toilet paper. We asked for it (before running out), and got it. No problem.

I expected a bit more from the pictures, but for the price it was OK. I might even return if they fix the sound insulation around the door :) 

I also see some reviews mentioning roof terrace - we didn't notice one.

PS! Visit the "New George" restaurant if you're in the area. Nice!

Close to everything, but not the place for a romantic trip

Upon our decision to go to Rome as a couple for a Birthday present and quick getaway we started looking at 3* hotels via Thomas Cook website. Middle ish price around 350 for 3 nights. 
Prince via of veneto had a nice description and pictures over looking the street below and claimed rooftop views as it was situated on the top floor. Stated on the Web as a Hotel, we thought we would give it a shot. Breakfast was included in the price and described as an Italian style. When in Rome! And all that.

We arrived and we're met with scaffolding all over the building (no mention when booking) and a post-it note with telephone number to call to check in stuck to the sign. We called and were let in the building. Then as the elevator didn't work (not surprising as it was centuries old) we hiked up 5 flights to be met by and apartment door with a piece of A4 paper stuck to it with the name. We should of turned round then but took a chance. 

The man we spoke to was very friendly and we could see he was trying to impress given the looks on our faces I guess. The lobby which you can't really call it that was a 3 meter wide space with a tiny desk crammed in. An extremely short L shaped corridor you could walk in 5 steps with 4 doors to the only 4 rooms of the "hotel" followed(not 11 rooms as stated on web) . 
He showed us our room. A box with a bed in it is a kind explanation. Awful decor.  Small bathroom attached in which my partner (he's a plumber) confirmed the toilet didn't flush properly. Clean bedding and tidy looking is all that can be said as we were told it wasn't ready for us. It looked like they could do no more though. 

So we were then told about breakfast... He gave us three post-it notes with a scribble on them and said breakfast was a pastry and a coffee from the deli next door. I wouldn't even expect this from a B&B let alone a place advertised as a hotel!!!

Being first time in Rome this is not what we expected.. but we'd paid..
This is the point I burst into tears. How could we have paid this much for a place like this! 
We decided to go for a walk in our surroundings to clear our heads. 

  That brought the bigger picture. We passed plenty of hotels (with actual lobbies and doors you could open without having to call from outside to check in) and decided we couldn't stay there under any circumstances. God only knows what else we may have encountered if we had!!

So to sum up.. Awful place, basically an apartment that had been turned into a rent a room hostel, nonexistent breakfast, no views of any sort except brick walls. Wifi stated as free- unsure if so. Apparent terrece available for supposed rooftop views was nonexistent. Not in the centre of the city per say more ourskirts and off the beaten track (our taxi driver was confused as to where it was!). 
Cleanliness can only be described as clean to the eye as that's all we could bare. Oh and once you are given the keys everything is down to you. You.let yourself in and out of the whole building. 
To expand on this when we returned to cancel our room no one was there. We rang the check in number - no answer. We waited a while and decided any more time spent there would ruin our holiday even more. We left a note and keys on the desk.
 This is a big con. A money making scheme at its worst. Description and photos are anything but what you will see if you came here. We were so upset and angry to have been sold this by a trusted holiday Company. They also will be getting a severe letter regarding this place. 

Only positive... The man we spoke to was very kind and offered us iced bottled water and a map and explanation of the city with routes, attractions etcetera.  

TAKE MY ADVICE  if you want a above decent trip to the eternal city DO NOT STAY HERE. If you are literally looking for a room.. I still wouldn't advise staying here as its not worth even half of what you pay. We were extremely lucky that we had enough funds to be able to go elsewhere as I know others may not be as lucky.

We went on to book and stay for 3 nights at the Euro star International Palace Hotel. €600.approx.  4* with continental breakfast and an actual lobby and excellent service. Located on Via Nationalez.  We recommend this Hotel to all types of stays in Rome!! 
HOPE THIS HELPS GUYS :)

Brought me to tears!Not even a B&B! *detailed*

This hotel is terrible. There is nothing compared with what they promise on the Internet. 
The "double bed" is in fact two single beds put together with a very small mastress. The room is really small and the walls are disgusting. 
The bathroom is terrible as well. The door doesn't close (not very romantic to go to the toilets just on front of the bed without any separation). 
And it really smells bad (probably the pipes). So we ask if it was possible to do anything against that: they just put some perfume. 
And they don't speak English, or maybe jus pretend not to ? 
On top of that, the hotel is quite far away from the city centre of Rome. 
So really ... Don't stay there. 

To avoid.

Why is this hotel called Prince of Via Veneto? it is not on Via Veneto, with all that that conjures up. I can only assume it is to deceive potential customers. Don't look at the professional photos of this hotel on Trip Advisor, or the ones that come up on hotel booking sites. Look rather at the traveller photos that someone has put on Trip Advisor. This is what the hotel really looks like. It is the worst I have ever stayed in, even taking into account the days when I really had to do things on the cheap. It is dangerous. The electrics are appalling, there was a steep step from the bathroom into my room, and into the room from the vestibule. The sheets on the bed were clean, but I wouldn't vouch for the rest of the bedding. The room itself clean enough, furniture very basic, but the bathroom was unbelievable - mould, broken shower door. This was matched by the disgusting state of the balcony. Basic breakfast was to be had in the bar on the ground floor of the building Monday to Friday, but a 10 minute walk away Saturday and Sunday. The gentleman managing the hotel (the only person I saw while I was there) is very pleasant and does his best to be welcoming, but it is a tall order to please anyone given the state of the establishment. Had I been on a typical package holiday with a rep, I would have insisted immediately on a change. Being on a short city visit, I made the best of it.
