Spent thanksgiving in Rome with the family at Residenza Cellini and it was fantastic! My parents got a junior suite with a balcony, my brother and his wife and my girlfriend and I both had bedrooms with king beds and jacuzzi showers. The hotel staff was friendly, incredibly helpful and there 24/7. We were able to check in to our rooms early when we landed which was a big help. While we were there it was my girlfriend's birthday and the owner treated us to spumanti wine and cookies on the terrace for her birthday. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast wasn't extensive, but it was very nice and always fresh. Location is great - you can walk to the Spanish steps and the Trevi fountain.

Stayed here with my partner mid Oct. for 5 nights. It was my first visit to Rome and I loved it mainly because the heat was low 20's each day - in the summer I'm sure it gets unbearably hot and not so nice for touring. We had a lovely stay in the hotel and as mentioned by others the staff are all great. The rooms are very nice - as mentioned by a few others the bathrooms are small - well the bathrooms are fine but the shower facility can be very tight. I'm a slim guy and there wasn't much room in the shower once I got in because of this shower jet thing going on that makes the space even smaller. These really should be taken out and the shower would probably be OK size wise. there was a problem with the shower head when we arrived - i reported it the next morning when we left and when we arrived back that evening a new one had been fitted. Good service. Air con worked well and was quiet. The breakfast was fine but again as noted by 1 or 2 could do with more variety even some eggs or tomato/cucumber etc. Nice veranda area for chilling out. WiFi worked perfectly throughout the 2 floors. We stayed on floor 5 which I would imagine is quieter than floor 3. The rate for central Rome in peak season (Oct) is very good approx €180 per room for a double with b/fast after cash and long stay discount. The place is spotlessly clean. Once you have researched the building in advance there wont be any surprises as in you will know its a shared building. A building with some old world charm - small door entrance, old lift etc) Its nicer to stay here than some purpose built facility as its more of an experience in old Rome. Location is perfect 3 minute walk to metro maybe a 7-10 minute walk to Termini. Donato is very very helpful and charming, I believe he may be the manager or one of the owners but is a very pleasant Italian and always ready for a chat and has near perfect English. Rome is lovely 2 things though make sure you book Vatican & Coliseum in advance or you will be waiting hours. Plenty of forums on Trippy re advance booking. Below the hotel approx 30 seconds away is a nice restaurant where we ate twice - great menu and reasonable for Rome. Also there are some very nice restaurants off the streets off Via Modena very near the hotel - maybe 5 minutes away. Also across from the hotel on Via Modena is a church that holds concerts now and again - check with the hotel they may have some details on it. If I was back in Rome which I hope I will be I will stay here again - the location really cannot be beaten. Also, if getting a taxi from the airport the fares are set at €30 from Campino and €45 I believe from the other one.

We recently had the good fortune of staying at the Resindeza Cellini in early November.
The Rick Steves guide book accurately described and recommended this small but lovely
hotel. It was located central to all the attractions that were important to us,, Spanish stairs,
trevi Fountain, Metro Station. The staff at the hotel was always friendly and very helpful.
They went out of their way to help us with a tour company, restaurant recommendations.
The breakfast that was provided was delicious..pastries, meats, cheeses, fruit, cereal, breads,
juices, coffee, teas....We had an early tour we had to get to and they started the breakfast
a bit early to accomodate us. The rooms are small but quite adequate and if you can afford
to reserve the jr. suite..it is a charming room and the size is much better. The building itself
has an old fashioned cage lift,,,tiny but again it adds to the charm of the building. I would definately stay here again and recommend the Residenza Cellini to friends and family.

Stayed 5 nights in Residenza Cellini recently.

There is no big hotel signage so it's better to make sure the taxi driver knows where the hotel is. We paid about Eur10 for taxi from train station to hotel. Best to go by taxi meter.

Hotel location is great. The nearest metro station is 5mins walk away. Trevi is about 10-15mins.

The room is decent size but the bathroom can be a little cramped.

Services are excellent. Robert is always ready to help whenever we need restaurant recommendation or directions on how to get to a place. Barbara too.

The old lift can get a bit challenging when we were trying to bring 2 big luggages, 2 hand carry plus our toddler. But this cannot be helped since the hotel is located in an old building.

Overall. we will definitely return to this hotel next time we are in Rome.
