This is my first review and not something I usually do but this hotel deserves one. The hotel was wonderful, the staff are very friendly and polite and made us feel very welcome. Rome is a city made for walking as any form of transport, you will end up missing something so please just brave it and walk. The hotel... More

This small hotel is located in the heart of Old Rome. Easy walking distance to the Colosseum, the Forum, Trevi Fountain and many other "must see" sights. There are some excellent restaurants in the area that the concierge will recommend if asked. The hotel staff are very friendly and are more than willing to assist you. The rooms are compact... More

The hotel is ideally located in the vicinity of Colosseo, Forum Romanum and other main historical attractions and also metro station is very close. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Yet,the rooms were a bit of a disappointment for me- they were quite small and basic (I understand these are old buildings), mostly what disturbed us was the... More

The location of this hotel is perfect!! There is a restaurant down the street and a gelato shop nearby. Although the rooms were really old it was reasonably clean. Breakfast was simple but good. Free Internet wifi was also available! More

As has already been said, the location of this hotel is brilliant!! you dont need metro passes as most of the places you will want to visit are walking distance!! but if you do want the metro its 5 min walk away! Grifo is in an old building on a charming cobbled street , right in the centre of rome!... More

The main benefit of this hotel is its location within walking distance of most of the main sites, and is a good price for that reason. It was basically clean with friendly staff. The rooms we had were a bit tired (perhaps the renovation hadnt reached them) but clean and reasonably comfortable. All we needed as we were out all... More

The hotel was walking distance to everything we wanted to see which is what attracted us to this place to begin with. The room was basic but quite clean. The shower was tiny so fortunately we're average-sized people (but if you drop anything, good luck picking it up!). The pressure in the shower was very low and stopped spraying completely... More
