I will always remember the Borromeo Hotel as this was my first time in Italy! I'm soooo glad I decided to book this hotel. It has a small-hotel charm to it. The location is SUPERB! You're in the middle of everything...Termini Station is very close...we walked to the hotel. The major sights, like the Coloseum and the Foro Romano are all within walking distance. There are various restaurants and small grocery-type stores within a few steps. The location is vey safe. Transportation wise, it's easy to get to either walking of via the metro line which is a few blocks away.

I found that in most of of Italy, there aren't too many facilies that offer accomodating services for someone in a wheelchair or other type of needs, especially in the subway/metro areas. The stairs in the hotel are a little steep and the elevator is small, along with the shower. If someone is looking for handicapped facilites, please be sure to ask any hotel if they can accomodate your needs.

The room is a bit small but it's fine as you spent most of your day sight seeing. (If you have more than 1 child the room would be too small.) The staff was very nice. There is NOTHING negative I can say about this hotel. I would truly recommend it to anyone. Absolutely loved it! Grazie, Hotel Borromeo!! Via Cavourrrrr!

A nice 3 star hotel, close to the antiquity era ruins (forum, colusseum, etc.) but further from the vatican, piazza navona, trevi fountain, pantheon.

There's a subway station 2 minutes walk from the hotel (b line) which is very convenient.

Rooms: quite small, safe included, tv, fridge, nicely decorated.

Bathroom: Shower, clean, fresh amenities every day. everything worked and was kept clean.

Breakfast: quite good, on rooftop patio, pastries, cereal, spreads, etc.

Neighborhood: Nice, clean, no homeless people, nice bar up the street (the druid's bar I think it was called) for tourists.

The only bad thing I can say about it was that the b line goes pretty much underneath the hotel and can be annoying, but we didn't overly suffer.

Also, there was only hot airconditioning at the time, not cold.

Reading here that the room in the Borromeo are even small in European standards didn't make me change my mind about the booking. Why should I care? This is rome, and I would probably be spending the entire day outside, just spending a few hours in the room for sleeping what I come back after a day of shopping...
Boy, was I wrong. This hotel is too small and claustrophobic. The double bed (which isn't the biggest or the most comfortable thing either) takes up literally the entire room. There is no place to put your luggage (2 medium size suitcases), let alone unpacking them (small cupboard with room for a few t-shirts, and a jacket). To get to the bed we had to jump over the suitcases, that were standing against the room's door. To change clothes, we had to go the small bathroom.

And the smell in the room - it stunk from cigarette smoking, and had just a bad sweaty odor.

If you want to enjoy your vacation - do not go here!

I paid a 100/Euros per night, for 4 nights, and though this was a bargain deal. It wasn't. We didn't want to come back to our hotel in the evening, fearing that we would get too depressed...

If I had to plan my trip again, I would book a different hotel, maybe further from the center of the city, but with a bit more elbowroom.

With a group of friend we have been in this hotel few days ago.
We think the hotel is a nice combination of comfort, good price and location.
All was recently renewed, very clean and well kept.

Often I travel to Italy in this period of the year(April), and evrytime we spend 2 or 3 nights in Rome before going to Tuscany and before take the flight back to Sharm where we live.
A friend of mine suggested me this hotel in Rome.
We have found it very nice and very convenient.
We booked 3 dbl rooms and at the check in we had 3 rooms on the same floor next to each other.
Nice rooms, good breakfast on a roof on 3rd floor.
The hotel is located in a very central area of Rome and the concierge at the hotel suggested us also a very nice arabian restaurant and it was very appeciated!
We loved to walk to the Roman Forums and the Colisseum and we also reserved through the Hotel a one day excursion to Naples.
We had a very good impression of the Hotel and the staff, helpful and friendly.
