Second time that I've stayed here and its location, and the breakfast room, make the difference. It's off the tourist drag in a narrow street but you are only minutes from all the main sites. We had two truly excellent meals within two minutes of the hotel, which adds to its allure. Inside the staff are helpful, the rooms are... More

This hotel satisfied my need for a Rome-fix. My sister (a first-time traveler to Europe) and I had just a short afternoon & evening in Rome, but our stay here was exceptional. The location is superb. Desk staff was helpful, our room was quiet, the bathroom was modern and clean. I love ancient buildings and this one fit the bill... More

The hotel is perfectly situated a 3 minutes walk away from Piazza Navona, in a very narrow street, calm during the night.The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. But the rooms are out of date, the A/C didn't work in our "suite", and there is no minibar. (One can buy beer and beverages at the reception). Furthermore you have... More

I was looking forward to returning to the Portoghesi. I stayed there in 2005 and found the location to be superb and the rooms small but adequate. My mid October 2011 stay was very disappointing. The rooms are badly in need of decorating, for example, fresh paint and new bed linens. They are, as another reviewer said, depressing. Worst of... More

We have stayed at the Portoghesi 3 years in a row for 2 nights each stay. The location is fabulous, in a great neighborhood with lots of shops, restaurants and cafes as well as being very centrally located to all sites. We have always had great service from Marco & Claudio, the owners, as well as David. They have always... More

The Good: My husband and I spent the last three nights of our honeymoon at this hotel. Breakfast was adequate and we enjoyed the roof deck. The young woman who managed the breakfast room did a great job. The location was fabulous; we walked to all the major sights. Our room was quiet and we slept well. I give this... More

We spent 5 nights at this lovely hotel in early October. It was a welcome relief from the crowds of Rome although it is only about 2 blocks from the Piazza Navona. We had a quiet room in the back. Although it was not large, it was very comfortable with nice furniture and an immaculately clean tile bathroom. It would... More

Room 34 is a small, dark single room with the smallest shower recess i have ever tried to use! It measured 60cms each side and had an opening of 30 cms.....a very tight squeeze. Otherwise the hotel was good and the front desk staff were helpful when you asked them questions. There is only marble on the hallway floors which... More

We were introduced to the Portoghesi by friends, and have stayed there 4 times over the past 20 years. It has greatly upgraded itself in that time, but its most endearing feature - the roof-top, glass enclosed breakfast room/roof garden - is unchanged and a lovely way to begin the day. The rooms in the back of the house are... More
