The hotel is located just off the very trendy Via Veneto and about 5/10 minutes walk in the other direction from the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. There was no noticeable noise up in our street facing first floor bedroom. It was also close to the Villa Borghese park.

Our room was enormous, with cupboards in the lobby linking the bedroom to the spacious bathroom with separate bath and shower. There wasn't a great range of TV channels but then Rome is not a city that makes you want to stay in your hotel room watching TV so it didn't matter much!

There were only a couple of mildly annoying things about the room. First, the location of the protruding door stops! There was one behind the main door which was close to the suitcase stand and on which I stubbed my toe a couple of times. (Funnier when it happens to someone else!) The other was in the bathroom right by the toilet which caught out my partner. There also didn't appear to be a master switch for turning on / off the lights, so it required a trip around the room visiting the various fittings in turn. Maybe it was just me but at the very least it wasn't obvious.

We didn't eat in the swanky Mirabelle restaurant but breakfast was fine and we would definitely come back to the same hotel.

Top tip - hang onto your bottle of water when you are finished with it because there are water fountains all over Rome which enable you to top up and keep cool and hydrated.

A lovely luxury hotel in a great location. Our stay was wonderful - staff very helpful, everything clean and all in all a perfect long weekend. Although pricey, would definitely reccomend a meal in the restaurant - a table outside on the terrace overlooking the city was lovely. A great hotel.

Having just returned from a fantastic trip to Rome I felt that I should write a review on this hotel in the hope that it may help future travellers. The hotel itself was lovely, the breakfast was great and was served in beautiful surroundings but we felt a little disappointed with the room which we were allocated. I had booked a superior double, which is actually just a standard room. Whilst the room itself was very clean, tidy and nicely appointed the bathroom was a little 'tired looking'.

Also felt that 25 euros extra for t.v. was insulting given the price of the room in the first place. Mini bar prices were very steep as were the prices in the hotel bar.

Also a little disappointed that the hotel didn't even give us a complimentary bottle of wine or something similar, given that it was my husband's 50th birthday and our 10th wedding anninversary (a fact that they were aware of).

All in all a good hotel but not quite as good as I had expected. The little restaurant immediately next to the hotel (come out of doors and turn right) was excellent. Food very acceptable, service with a smile and complimentary drinks at a reasonable price (by Rome standards).

We just returned from Rome and recommend this hotel. We were a little worried about the Splendide given some of the prior reviews, but found a very plush, smallish hotel which we would certainly return to again. The hotel is situated very near others, such as the Sofitel and the Marriott, just outside of the Borghese. The Spanish Steps and Via Veneto are 10 minute and 5 minute walks away, respectfully. The metro stops are probably more like a 15 minute walk in either direction.

Our room was large, plush, and very clean. We were on a lower floor, and did not have a view of any sort, but as we were on our feet most of the day walking around the city, this did not matter to us. Likewise, the smallish fitness room (essentially a treadmill and a bike) had no demerits from us.

We did not utilize the high end restaurant, but did have breakfast daily as part of our rate. The breakfast area, on floor 6 at the top of the hotel provided a great view over the Borghese, with glimpses of St. Peter's and the surrounding hills.
Breakfast was good, and had a variety of mainly cold items. The wait staff was prompt and courteous and left nothing undesired.

Overall, all the staffers we encountered were very professional and top notch.
