For the price we paid this Hotel is pretty near spot on.

Clean large room with nice carpets and drapes, very large comfortable bed and a full sized bath. (room 405) Room is on the back of the hotel so dark only having one window in the seperate sitting area.

Location, you can walk anywhere withing 20 minutes including the Collesuem and San Giovanni.

Excellent hotel and great value.

Will definately stay there again.

Hotel had been recomended by friends so we were reasonably confident that it would be ok.
It was much better than ok.
We had a king size bed in a large room on the second floor. Room had a large sofa, table and chair. Mini bar was well stocked and very reasonably priced. The bathroom had a good supply of shampoos etc and was restocked every day.Towels were changed and the room was obviously cleaned daily. Althoug the room was on the front of the hotel the traffic noise was not a problem. We were aware of the traffic early morning but it was not really disturbing.
Breakfast was adequate with a selection of cereals, danish, juice and toast. Tea and coffee was in good supply and was hot, something lacking in many other hotels.
The main attraction for us was the location - it is perfect.
It is 15 minutes walk to the Vatican area and 10 minutes to the main town centre, Spanish steps area.
The reception staff and breakfast room staff all spoke perfect English and were helpful with directions and ordering taxis.
We have already recomended this hotel to family and friends and hope to return again.

We stayed at the Diplomatic for 3 nights when we arrived, then we returned after touring the Naples area. The hotel entrance is nothing to brag about. Perhaps a lively color on the walls, some colorful art, or some plants would make it appear more appealing. The room was quite spartan but a nice size and clean. The shower was excellent. The bed (king) adequate considering my husband suffers from a bad back. The rooms facing the street could be a little noisy as the hotel is situated on a busy street. The interior rooms are much quiter. The location centrally located to all the attractions and the city tour bus stop was just outside the door. Breakfast could have been a little more elaborate, but sufficed. After pricing many hotels, I would say for Rome this was good. We would stay at this hotel again.

This hotel is an amazing value for the money. Good location, very near the St. Angelo Bridge, with upscale rooms with marble bathrooms and a tub! Breakfast was also a bit more generous than we experienced at other, more expensive, hotels in Rome.
