This hotel was really well located - once we had made our initial trip from the airport to the hotel, we literally walked everywhere else - until it was time to make the trip back to the airport. The hotel is really close to the metro (though we didn't use it). Staff on the front desk were very helpful, and spoke excellent English. While there is a lift in the hotel, there are quite a few internal steps/stairs, I wouldn't recommend it for older people.
Our room was clean and we had plenty of space, nice large bathroom. The only issue was that the bathroom had a really bad smell - it was ok when we arrived but got progressively worse - the plumbing is not the best. The wireless internet didn't work in the room, but worked in the business centre in the lobby - bit annoying. We were in room 41, to the back of the hotel, not a good view but nice and quite. Breakfast was very good - plenty of food and very good coffee. Overall it was good value for money.

We stayed in this hotel, in the annex , which is just next door, for 5 nights. The rooms were lovely and had large bathrooms with whirlpool baths which were terrific after a hard day of walking. Breakfast was extensive and included hot and cold food, fruit and cakes! The staff couldn't have been more pleasant and efficient. They booked our visit to the Borghese Gallery ( a must) and sorted out minor problems immediately. It is really well placed for walking to the Centro Storico or for transport connections being next to the metro and having a taxi rank opposite. Good restaurants with reasonable prices in walking distance towards the Trevi Fountain. Try the Vineria Chianti near the Trevi Fountain - great atmosphere.

I stayed there from March 9-16 2009 with my Sister in a two (2) standard twin comfortable bedded room on the Fifth Fl. in a very clean room, space for 2 people, classic deco, marble bathroom floor, modern facility, mini refrigerator, safe deposit box, large mirrors, enough closet space. tall windows with a sideview of Piazza Barberini.

They have an elevator to the salon/bar for our free breakfast : fruits, yogurts, cheeses, croissant, italian bread, muffin,, Hot Bacon , omelette, coldcuts (salami, ham, prosciutto)
with orange juice, mix juices . A Complete breakfast but the best Cappucino in town.

It's -100 meters from the Metropolitan Barberini and Bus 492, 62 that can take you everywhere. Less than 10 minutes walk to Fountain of Youth (Trevi), Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Via Veneto. near Despar Grocery store for non tourist prices.

We had Lunch at Tratorria Tritone and Il Giardino di Albino for a delicious Roman meals.and Perfect Focaccia, Pizza, Gelato at Squisito Cook across the street.

There is a great deal on shoes (50% off) at ARALDO , 108 via del Tritone, as well as Benetton, Rinascente Mini Mall, Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton at Via Condotti.

We booked the Pompeii, Naples Tour ( must-see and visit ) with Carrani Tours recommended by The Best Concierge; Cristiano, Fabio, Michele, they are always smiling, ready, know everything about Rome . The kind porter Ronaldo will help you with your luggage, any probems in your room.

You will start the day lookingat the smiling faces of Simone and others at the Breakfast Room , walk down to Trevi Fountain to throw three (3) coins to wish to come back to the Hotel.

excuse the wrong spelling.

My wife and I love to travel and have done so to a number of cities ranging from Vancouver, Canada to New York City and now Rome. One of the biggest worries is finding a decent hotel. Location and the hotel itself can make or break a trip. This hotel was checked out using Tripadvisor as well as other review sites and had good reviews. It turned out to be in a great location close to the metro and within walking distance to just about everything. It was great. Every morning started with two pots of Latte and breakfest (included) and then a day of adventure. We even took one day and flew on Ryan Air to venice for next to nothing spent the day and returned that evening. We had our favorite restaurants Pizza Re and The Monticito. Cheapest gelato was just up the street at the McDonalds beside the spanish steps. This hotel became an oasis in the middle of the dy when it was so hot and the staff were always friendly and helpful. We would stay here again in a heart beat.
