i was very dissapointed with this hotel there is no way it is a 4* more like a 2* very tatty, dirty walls and dirty paintwork. they would not provide an iron as it was against the regulations and the bar was shut on sundays so you couldnt even get a cup of tea we were glad to leave

As a first timer to Rome, I found it very confusing to know where to stay. Everything always sounds great! However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized I wanted to stay in the center of Rome, and after a lot of research, using Tripadvisor and other sites, I chose the Hotel Eliseo, which is at the top of Via Veneto.

The hotel was fabulous! The people at the front desk spoke English and were always very pleasant answereing any and all questions with lots of suggestions.

The room was large with a queen bed, bedside cabinets for storage, large wardrobe-closet with built-in drawers, in-room safe, desk, chair, sofa chair, very nice bathroom with shower, a/c, small refrigerator/bar and television.

The location was fantastic! It was no more than a 15 minute to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain or the Pantheon. It was a little longer walk, but nonetheless, very easy and pleasant to the Colosseum. The Villa Borghese Gardens was just a few minutes away from the hotel. And if you not up for walking, there's a bus stop right across the street from the hotel.

The hotel has a very large and comfortable lobby. There's an "American Bar" for early evening drinks. There's plenty of comfortable chairs and sofas. There's a large television and also public Internet available for rent.

Hotel Eliseo has a great location and is in very good condition, but it's best feature is their breakfast room which is on the top floor of the hotel, i.e. their rooftop! You'll enjoy a lavish breakfast with lots to choose from while you have panoramic views of Roma!

What a great way to start the day! I loved having breakfast here and this feature combined with the location and other hotel amenities makes Hotel Elesio a winner!

Perfect location on edge of park with views across to Vatican. Very friendly and helpful reception. Gret breakfast room on top floor looking over park. Very close to Spanish steps and local restuarants. Upgraded our room simply because one was available.

Stayed for 5 nights at the Eliseo and enjoyed it very much. Room was medium sized, not exactly glamorous but clean. Lack of drawer space for 2 people. Very firm beds (twins bolted together). Double glazing and internal plus external shutters, nets and very heavy curtains made for a dark & very quiet night. Great bathroom with very good shower, though no bath. Fully functioning and seemingly brand new electronic safe in wardrobe. Breakfast was an 8 out of 10; 3 different meats, 2 cheeses, hard boiled eggs, fruit, bread and warm pastries. Would agree with previous reviewers that the 116 bus is brilliant and goes all the way through the back streets to Camp d'Fiori, then the river. The night version runs til 1.30am. Whilst the Metro entrance is very near the hotel the actual platforms are not, so it's quite a walk via the subway - but there is a useful supermarket en route. There are more central hotels but we enjoyed the park and would say the rates are excellent value.
