We stayed here for 3 nights but two were not that great. If you are located anywhere near the street, even on the side street where we were, it is very very noisy!! Friday night was so bad we didn't get any sleep what so ever. Wasn't worth it to change rooms as we were leaving the next morning. The breakfast everyone is raving about was awful to us. Eggs were runny and cold and the yogurt came out of the cup like milk. We got there almost right when they put the stuff out so it shouldn't have been that bad. The staff was very nice throughout our whole visit so that was a plus. The hotel is in walking distance of everything. The only thing we took a metro to was St. Peter's and it was only 1 euro per person. The metro is very close to the hotel which was another plus. The maids do not understand what a "do not disturb" sign is either. We left this up a couple of times and each time we came back to our room we found that they had entered and clean anyway.

we stayed at hotel barocco at the end out a 3 week trip and while it was in a convenient location, probably would not be quick to recommend for the price. i had to use a few am ex points, and this was the best rated for the additional money i had to spend. if i had to actually pay the room rate without the points, it would be way overpriced.

if you at all are sensitive to noise, this is not the place for you. while i totally understand we are in a large city (which i love), beyond the traffic, there was what we dubbed "crazy guy" in the piazza yelling at cars and making all sorts of odd noises. we first were given a room with a side window (not facing piazza barberini, but a side street). i thought it would be ok as i wear earplugs anyway but after being in the room for an hour or so, we determined that there was no way we would be able to tolerate the noise and asked if there were any other rooms available. the gentlemen at the front desk was very accomodating and did find us an interior room, albeit with twin beds, but by then we didnt' care. the room was huge compared to the first one and was very quite but pretty dark. i don't think housekeeping was very happy with us about moving and didn't really hide the fact. other than the front desk, i didn't find anyone that worked their to be very friendly.

rooms could use an updating but the bathrooms were very nice. breakfast was good, plenty of the normal european fare. the hotel is very well located to any of the sites. just a quick stroll to spanish steps, pizza navona and trevi but we took a cab to st peters. we love rome, but for the posted rates, probably could find something a bit better.

The hotel is in a great location, and the staff in the lobby were very helpful. Room was very nice and clean, and we did not hear any street noise with the windows closed. You can walk to most sites. Taxis are expensive in Rome. We took the metro to the Vatican (1 euro each way), and the lobby staff sold us the tickets. There was a metro stop right in the Piazza Barberini. The staff also recommended an excellent restaurant that was very close the Trattoria Trittone. It was the best food we had in Italy. The breakfast included scrambled eggs,excellent pastries, and very good coffee.

The hotel is perfectly placed in a beautiful part of the city, within walking distance of most of the sights,. The room was great, clean and comfortable, bathroom with bath, shower and bidet. Breakfast was excellent, loads of choice and the staff were helpful and very friendly, we would definitely stay there again.
