My wife planned this trip so I am writing the reviews ;-) The hotel was nothing special but I mean it in a good way. It was close to the centre but not loud, the rooms were small but clean, the price was acceptable. Iwould tell my friends to stay here if they are not looking for the ultimate romantic weekend.

This was my fourth stay at Hotel Diplomatic, and it was just as good as the first. On my first trip to Rome back in 1997, while walking through the airport on my arrival, a guy gave me a piece of paper as I walked past him and said, "If you need a good hotel try this one". Well, I put the paper in my pocket and kept walking. When I got to the hotel that I was staying in, (Holiday Inn), I was very disappointed and after one night there I decided to try another hotel. So I found the hotel flyer that the guy at the airport had given me and called Hotel Diplomatic. The price was way less than I was paying at the Holiday Inn, so I decided to give it a try. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I fell in love with the hotel due to the location and how convenient it was to everything, not to mention the price. The rooms are a nice size for Europe, even though the bathrooms are a little on the small side. So here I am twelve years later and still enjoying Hotel Diplomatic's quaint coziness. The breakfast is always very good also. As always I still recomend this nice little hotel for great value and comfort in Rome. I sure am glad I didn't just throw that flyer in the trash at the airport.

We were a bit worried when we saw the entrance which is very small and unassuming, but the rooms were just great. Very tasteful and elegant old world decor and lovely bathrooms. The breakfast too was super and the service staff so friendly at all times. The location saved us a bunch on transport as we could walk to almost every good tourist spot in Rome...The Piazza di Popolo, Il Vittoriale, la Fontana di Trevi, Piazza Navona, Il Vaticano & San Pietro, The Pantheon and the Tiber river which is just a 100 meters down from the hotel. Piazza Cavour where the hotel is located houses the Supreme Court..a beautiful building and has a huge bus station right there...Frankly the hotel is close to restaurants, banks shopping...you name it. So we shall definitely stay there again.

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.
