We stayed at the hotel for three nights as part of the Volvo Overseas Delivery program April 29-May 1, 2009. The location was great and the staff very friendly. The breakfast buffet was also good but there was no variation of the items offered while we were there, still no problem there. The matress however, was an issue. I've traveled around the world for work and pleasure. My wife is a General Manager of a hotel in Dallas, TX and has worked in the hotel industry for over 20 years. We've never seen harder beds and this was a comment we had heard from other guest. On the plus side, I got used to it. I could have used a different pillow and if I traveled with my own I would have been happy.

A side note, the street behind the hotel (Via Lombardie I think) had a really nice little cafe with good food and great prices vs. the rest of Via Veneto. We ate several times and kept running into the same travelers there who obviously enjoyed it too.

The hotel is located on the corner of Via Vento and Via Ludovisi adjacent to the American Embassy and literally a couple of minutes walk from the Barberinin Metro (underground). The hotel staff were excellent (ignore any grumbling people on here) There is a lovely lady who was on reception (I cannot rememebr her name, but she is dark skinned and called something like Gerda or Gedra oe Gega (sorry I forgot your name, but she is extrememly helpful and informative (thanks you for all your help and assistance), The staff were so good to notice that it was my partners birthday while we were there (we never mentioned anything to them) and they surprised us with a lovely bottle of well presented champaign while we were out - it was so nice to come ot the room and find it laid out (thank you).
I can hardly fault the hotel, excep tot say the lack of airconditioning meant that it sometimes got noisey at night - if you left the windows open. Breakfast was included and there was the regular contiental and english breakfasts.
Hotel is within easy walking distance of the Spanish Steps and Trevi fountain (10 minutes) and also close to Harrys Bar.
Had one of the best ice-creams ever, just up the road at the ritz cafe (3 euros, but lots of icecream - very good value for money in comparison to other areas.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Savoy. It's in a great location. The room was clean & spacious & quiet too. The beds were big. The breakfast was great in the morning, lots of choice. One of the nicer European hotels we've stayed in.

I would recommend The Savoy hotel if you are visiting Rome. It is an excellent location just off Via Veneto and about a 10 minute walk to the Spanish Steps. The Rome City Tour buses stop just outside the hotel, which is so handy if you intend doing a bus tour when you are there. The bedrooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, bathroom is very nice and the shower was great! Breakfast is very good, great variety. Hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant. We just had one drink up on the terrace bar ( €7 for glass of wine). There are lots of cafes/bars and great places to eat near by. We got a very good deal for b and b as we were staying there in March. Overall, a perfect hotel for a city break in the beautiful city of Rome!
