This was our first hotel on the start of a European adventure and it was absolutely perfect. We booked after searching tripadvisor.com and can only thank everyone who submitted their reviews. The location was great. We had an excellent breakfast on the rooftop each morning looking over the forum. The colleseum was just around the corner and the city central area just a 10 minute walk. The restaurant outside (not connected) was great, especially for the kids. Beware the coffee shop just around the corner- absolute rip-off. Back to the hotel - the rooms were fine , clean but maybe a little cramped. Still, who cares when you only sleep in them. And when we stayed at the Hotel Martini (also in Rome) as part of a tour later in our holiday we now realise what a small hotel room really means. That horrible hotel was more expensive but the rooms were small, dirty, the breakfast terrible and the staff very rude. Thanks goodness we hadn't started our holiday there. It was a great base to explore Rome. We couldn't recommend the Hotel Richmond more.

This could be a much nicer hotel if they would put some money into the AC system. Carlo was a great manager, but he is gone now. I have stayed here 3 times and while worth the money, I would not recommend it in the summer time. The roof top is open for breakfast and it is quite nice to sit up there at night (great privacy) and eat a pizza and have a drink.

You cannot get any closer to the Forum and the Coliseum. And it's an easy walk to the Trevi fountain, Pantheon and Spanish steps. It also satisfied our family of four with a queen bed and two singles. This was hard to find in Rome. Everything was clean and worked. Breakfast was simple, but again satisfying. The staff was courteous, but not to eager. If your idea of a hotel is a place to sleep and shower, then this a good choice. You can see a lot of Rome from here with no transportation costs.

My husband, eighteen year old son, his freind and I, stayed at the Richmond Rorma post Cruise on June the 18th thru the 21st. The Hotel is a family oriented, small , well maintained and a very old hotel. Clean. Gemma and Rosa are pearls in a hectic city. Gemma helped retrieve a camera left in a taxi by calling the five central taxi agents. The hotel is now building an addition so next year it will be updated. This is old world Europe in a fantastic location. You can walk anywhere but the Vatican from here. The ancient airconditioning is a factor for summer guests who cannot take the heat. We had a front room which was very noisy. ( they provide ear plugs!) I love the breakfast of fruits, croissants, ham and cheese. The boys did not care for this type breakfast. The rooftop is only open for breakfast. A tiny elevator for one to two is adequate to take your bags to your room. The soaps are delightful. The shower is small.
