Have just returned from almost a week in Rome, somewhere I've always wanted to visit. The city is amazing, everything I could have hoped for, the hotel however very much not. There were three of us away and we arrived early evening to a room with the wrong number and layout of beds, we notified the clerk on the desk and were told that there was nothing they could do until the next morning and we would just have to make do for a night, not great but ok it's late and we were exhausted. We moved into a different room the next day which seemed fine on the intial glance round but on a more detailed look discovered we had a lovely infestation of ants that were happily crawling around the skirting of the entire room, this meant we spent the week living out of suitcases so as to avoid transporting any of them back home! The desk was made aware of the problem on the same day and nothing was done, we reminded them the next day and still no resolution, we stayed from the Sunday until the Friday and nothing was done about the ants the entire time, the only comment made was that they sometimes get in from the outside even though the largest group seemed to be getting through an internal wall! The only positives I can come up with for this hotel is the breakfast room on the sixth floor, looks right over the park and on a clear day you can see a good portion of the city, also the location at the top of the Vio Veneto is good so long as you don't mind a bit of a walk to get to the major attractions. This is definitley not a hotel worthy 4*, infact I would rate it closer to a 2*. Avoid the resaurant recommended by the hotel if possible, worth a ten-fifteen minute walk to the spanish steps for a far superior meal for the same cost, similarly don't book your taxi back to the airport through them, it will cost you fifteen euros more than if you walk round the corner to the taxi stand. When I go back to Rome I will most definitely not be staying here.

We celebrated our anniversery with 4 nights in Rome at the Eliseo and enjoyed it very much. Room was quiet old, not big niether small with good queensize bad. Bathroom was newer, well equiped and clean. The heating was very good, tv wuth forign channells (CNN BBC etc), a new ectronic safe.
Breakfast room was superb, breakfest was good. Lobby very large with wi-fi (5 euro for 120 minutes). Staff was helpull and nice. We paid 100 Euro for a night throu the hotel website, a GREAT value for money.

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!
