The rooms are so clean and the hotel is so comfortable. The staff is so helpful and friendly...probably the best hotel staff I have ever encountered! The only slightly negative thing I have to say about this hotel is the pillows, they are not very comfortable. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We spent 5 nights in mid-May, Some in a double and some in a jr suite. The suite is larger and has a jetted tub. Both have bidets which are standard in Italy. The double has a fine shower and was quieter since it faced the interior courtyard. We agree with and don't need to repeat all the prior reviews. However, if you are seniors, Rome is not so walkable, particularly if it is hot. Many Rome hotels have no easy access to public transit. Residenza is a few minutes walk to bus and subway. Particularly if you are going cross town to the Vatican the subway is a 1 euro bargin and gets you there in 10 minutes. Also, the security is better than in many hotels, You have to be buzzed in or use your key. At night you also have to be buzzed in at the front outside door. It all adds up to a fine and,for Rome, reasonably priced place to stay.
And, while it is cheaper to take the train from the airport and walk from the station to the hotel, after a long flight nothing beats bing picked up at the airport and driven to the front door in a Mercedes. Its more than worth it!

Planned our trip well in advance and kept checking the comments on the Cellini, it was indeed everything that was written and promised, beautiful, exceptionally clean, tastefully decorated. The Junior Suite was spacious. The staff was helpful and warm...stay there! You won't be disappointed.

The Poulins

Residenza cellini is located on a small quiet side street, very close to Piaza Republica and its Metro station. The Hotel is on the 3rd and 5th floor of a 19th century building, in which there are other small hotels. It has a typical quaint, italian metal cage lift found in buildings of this age.

The staff were welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was one of the junior suites. It was very spacious, with a very comfortable bed and a most welcoming jacquzzi, essential for tired feet after a day of sight-seeing.

Rome is a small city and everything is walkable, but the closeness of the metro station, and bus stop outside make it easy to get everywhere, including the Vatican, by public transport.

There is a Warner Brothers Cinema on the Piazza Republica, which shows one or two films in english (without subtitles) 3 times a day. Most convenient if they are showing Angels and Demons, with the first church, Santa Maria della Vittoria just round the corner.

We would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to family and friends.
