We thought the Borromini was great. My fiance and I traveled to Rome from Vermont for Christmas week. Admittedly, I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews; however, we found the Borromini to be in a fine location (we're walkers and hikers), very close to the Villa Borghese, which makes for a lovely walk to/from sites, with very nice staff and accomodations. They had a great American style buffet breakfast with eggs cooked to order, meats, cereals, yogurts, fruits, juices, coffee, etc. The breakfast was $12 Euros, but hey, in Rome, for all-you-can-eat, that's a bargain. A two minute walk to a bus or tram stop will take you anywhere in the city you want to go. At the nearest piazza (where the bus/tram stops are located) there was a lovely little cafe that had very reasonable food, so we ate dinner there frequently on our way back to the room after a day out. The room itself was neat, clean, and the location of the hotel itself was residential - quiet and nice. They even gave us a surprise bottle of champagne for my fiance's birthday - and it was really good too! Its true that the Borromini is somwhat removed from the "center" of Rome, but then again, there is so much to see all over Rome, the city didn't seem too large/overwhelming, all within walking distance, and the price was right ($150 night), that we thought it was well worth it, and we'd definitely stay there again!

The hotel is lovely (clean room, large comfy bed, lovely bathroom) and although a little out of the centre there is plenty of good and frequent public transport to get you out and about. Be prepared to use it if you want to eat good Italian food! The hotel "restuarant" is lacking in atmosphere (can't comment on the food) and the local restaurants are not up to par (Rossini restaurant bits of meat found in mushroom Risotto and local cafe staff in Piazza Ungheria very rude and unhelpful. Both overpriced for the quality given). Hotel staff friendly if you make the effort to chat. My top tip for eating is Le Mani in Pasta in Trastevere (via de Genovesi) - well worth the effort, also for pizza, make the (small) effort to go into the centre and go to Gusto (Piazza Augusto Imperatore), but get there early for a table.............wanna make a long night of it? Try some antipasti at Enoteca Antica (via della croce)... lovely wine, lovely range of antipasti, lovely atmosphere.....enjoy!

We have just returned from this hotel, stayed in the Borromini for 3 nights and would have liked to have stayed for more. Everyone was very nice and welcoming, especially the reception and breakfast staff. Nothing was a problem to them and their English was very good. The rooms were very clean and had everything you could ask for. Apparently, the hotel has recently been taken over by Boscolo hotels, who operate a number of luxury hotels in Italy and farther afield. It is situated in a quiet residential area, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but close to trams and bus routes.

We stayed in this Hotel for several nights, the room was very, very spacious, the bathroom was a huge a marble one with a large shower, double sinks, bidet and toilet, spotlessly clean every day.

I can't say the personnel were especially friendly but never rude. We met some fellow travelers and spent several pleasant hours in the bar in the hotel.

Breakfast was absolutely the best, great cappuccino, bacon, eggs, fruits, pastry and delicious Prosciutto, toast & jelly butter milk, juice, couldn't be better.

Yes it's a little out of the way, thats what cabs are for. Local (walking distance) restaurants were fine, many to choose from.

I came to this site to make reservations for May of this year.

Now I don't know what to think?

We got this hotel through Priceline and were promised that it would be 4-star. It was by far our worst hotel throughout Europe. The hotel was out of the way, the rooms were dirty, the restaurant food was terrible, and many of the staff was rude. And, don't think that the really, really bad breakfast comes with the room. It will cost you way more than it could ever be worth.
