Rome Hotel Capitol

We stayed at the Hotel Capitol in Rome in the middle of May. There was no in-room safe so I asked the front desk personnel about that. I was told that I could check items for safekeeping with them, and they would put them in the hotel safe. When I retrieved my possessions, I was missing a gold chain with a cartouche pendant. This item was purchased in Egypt a few weeks earlier for the equivalent of $636.00 Canadian dollars. The staff were not at all helpful, and actually rather insulting about the occurrence. The Italian police were called and did talk to the hotel personnel but to no avail.

Other than that, the hotel advertised a breakfast, and we found it to be the worst one we had in three months of travelling in Europe and Egypt.

We had also booked a tour of the Vatican through the hotel, and we would not recommend that either. This tour came highly recommended by the hotel, but we felt that it was not worth the money we paid for it.
