The Hotel Albani was the second stop on my honeymoon in July 08. Overall, we were very pleased with the hotel - the decor was fun and bright, the rooms were immaculate and comfortable and the hotel bar was fun and comfortable.

If there was a negative to the hotel, it was its distance from the main sites of Rome. It was a pretty significant walk to get to anything... about 30 minutes to the Spanish Steps, for instance. My wife and I didn't mind - just used public transportation a lot, and got to walk around the city a lot, which I find helps you really get to know a city.

Might not be a good choice for older visitors or families with children, who don't want to have to expend so much effort navigating around the city.

Overall, the hotel is definitely recommended. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Great location and excellent hotel!
The view of the balcony was great and the room was very large with a great bathroom.
The breakfast was good but not excellent.

Just returned from a week's holiday in Rome. We stayed at the Albani hotel. It is simply an excellent hotel. The staff were very polite and spoke good english. Our room was beautifully decorated and furnished with bright cheerful colours. Everything was tastefully selected and matched. Breakfast was very good although the selection was not huge and you get a fresh tablecloth every time!
Access to town was very easy with a bus stop nearby (50 metres). We used buses 86, 92 and 217 to go to Termini station. At the end of our stay we discovered bus 63 which takes you directly to the old town (Pantheon, fontana di Trevi etc) really handy. We recommend using a pass which enables you to use all buses, metro and overland trains within Rome very cheaply. For one day it is 4 euro and for 3 days it is 11 euro!! Dont bother with organised tours. Get a bus pass and a good map and ROme is at your feet. With the pass you can go even to the seaside, Ostia (which is beautiful) and more.

My wife and I recently stayed at Hotel Albani for 2 nights as a result of joining relatives who were there with one of several Globus tours. We found the hotel to be clean and nicely appointed. The decor is 50's-60's retro style and while we liked it and thought it was fun, the bright colors and furnishings might not be to everyone's taste. The staff was helpful and of course spoke excellent English.

Our room was also clean, medium sized, and nicely appointed but in this retro style. We had a small balcony that overlooked a beautiful park so we kept the glass doors open whenever we were in the room. Definitely a nice feature. The morning of our departure we ate breakfast on the balcony while watching a beautiful sunrise.

An adequete breakfast was included and although the hotel is not close to major attractions in Rome, the front desk was prompt in providing directions or a taxi.

Earlier in the week we stayed in a Marriott on the Via Venito. That experience was much nicer but it was also twice to three times the cost of Albani.

While there are many hotels to choose from in Rome, we found Albani to be very nice and would stay there again.
