I stayed at the Richmond in April 2008 with my family. We were given a suite on the first floor. Our room was spacious with large windows allowing natural light in. The room and bathroom were cleaned regularly and overall we found it to be very comfortable. My sister got sick during the trip and the staff brought tea to our room for free. The breakfast area is on the roof with nice views of the surrounding area. The hotel is across from the Roman forum and a short walk to other sights and a Metro stop is nearby. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.

The location only minutes from the Roman Forum and Colosseum is fantastic, but this also means that there is a lot of traffic noise at all hours of the day. The hotel will kindly issue you with ear plugs so you can get some sleep.

It is clean, the view from the hotel’s rooftop terrace of the Forum as you breakfast is amazing, it is easy to get to from the main train station or by the metro, it is a convenient base to explore the rest of Rome, and the hotel staff are helpful and friendly.

But like most hotels in Rome I’ve stayed in, you can’t help feeling it’s overpriced. The bathroom is tiny, especially the shower. I’m only 5’3’’ and I still had trouble turning around in it. The hot water takes about 2-3 minutes to come on from when you turn on the taps. The rack to hang your clothes in the wardrobe is so high that I had to stand on a chair. My mind is still boggling over how to open and use the safe. And I’m sure the view from my window would have been fantastic if I was able to open the shutters and see it! I had to push them out to the point where the clasp was held and could just make it out through the gap between and below the shutters.

But overall, the experience at Richmond was cosy. After 8 days I felt very much at home. There are lots of restaurants right next door that are really good, and who can complain when such history is on your doorstep?

Excellent location. It's near from Colisseu, Piazza Navona and many restaurants and stores.

The staff is absolutelly above average. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. There's a roof restaurant where you can have your brakfast and appreciate the landscape of Rome.

I really recommend this hotel.

Fantastic location! Breakfast on the roof top terrace was absolutely fine, with breathtaking views (shame however that this terrace could not be used by guests at other times as well, only for breakfast...). Our room was very comfortable, spacey and clean, with quite a large bathroom. The airconditioning worked a treat. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would come here again!
