“Excellent service, elegant with amazing roof terrace”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

Conveniently located near the Villa Borghese gardens and near Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain.
Fantastic views from the seventh floor bar and terrace overlooking St Peter's and the Vatican. Charming, helpful staff. Delicious breakfast with attentive, pleasant service. Thoroughly enjoyed complementary Champagne and lovely nibbles on our first night - a lovely start.
The most amazing bed!
Only gripe was that very little storage in our room for clothes - just three small drawers and very small wardrobe.
High end hotel and was quite expensive.

Room Tip: Ask for one with good storage

“First Time Here we Will be Back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2013

While in Rome to deliver a lecture I visited the hotel with my wife and 5 daughters before school went back in session and we had a great time!

The hotel is conveniently located 10 minutes walk from the Spanish Steps and less than 2 blocks from Via Veneto, Metro stop and other sights. Additionally as it situated on a hill and from the roof you have a fantastic panorama view of the city center. The roof top suites we cannot say enough good things about. Also there is an outdoor restaurant / bar where they can open up the roof and remove the walls transforming it into an open outdoor experience; we just loved this top floor restaurant and bar!

The hotel is situated in a great central location and the fact that it’s on a hill adds to the marvelous upper floor views, within a few minutes stroll you are downtown. The hotel is also just a short walk from the “Gelleria Borghese” which was just spectacular! Amazing paintings and my favorite, sculptures by Bernini and others. Probably the best sculpture gallery in Rome.

The suites have beautiful terraces’ with great views, and the deluxe rooms were great.

It was also our wedding anniversary and therefore we wanted this trip to be very special and the hotel did not let us down.

The hotel service levels, from all manner of the hotel team, were exceptional, helping to book tickets and tours to having computers to use in the hotel lobby.

One evening when the girls were out doing a tour we decided to use the rooftop terrace restaurant, which we later found out had just been voted the best rooftop terrace in Europe. We both chose the 7 course extravaganza which was exquisite. The chef would pop out occasionally and discuss the food and the background to his training which was very interesting.

All in all a wonderful experience in this hotel and we would have no hesitation in returning r recommending to anyone.

“Lovely place to spend a week!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2013

I was lucky enough to spend a week here for work. It is nicely located within walking distance of so much to see and do in Rome - the Spanish Steps, Via Veneto, Trevi Fountain. Since i was in meetings all day, being able to do a few things in the evening was important. I enjoyed the breakfast each morning and looked forward to my double espresso with steamed milk each day. The service is very good and the staff very friendly. Wonderful place!

“excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2013

Great bed. Nice bathroom. Best service -all departments. They will always give you the feeling they have done the best for you!
The room was quite small, not enough place for suitcases. The gym was not really a gym but a symbolic room.
The location is perfect. In the center but nice and quite. Id you jog, you can enjoy the huge park of Villa Borgese :)
Defiantly come back

Excellent pick. I had never stayed in this hotel before but I will certainly return. The staff was friendly, unpretentious and incredibly helpful. Staff recommendations regarding restaurants were perfectly suited to our needs. The breakfast was excellent. Excellent experience.
