We just returned from a wonderful Italian vacation; we spent four days in Rome at the Isa and cannot recommend it highly enough. The location was perfect - quiet enough (neighborhood reminded me of the Left Bank of Paris) in a beautiful residential area, yet close to the Vatican and walking distance across the Tiber to the main Roman attractions. Modern, Boutique-style hotel. Staff was somewhat helpful but could have been more so... the service is my one "eh" rating. Nobody offers to help with bags and in true Roman fashion, some desk staff seemed more interested in chatting on the phone than helping me while I waited. But that is really minor. There is a computer in the lovely lobby for email checking, and sofas and a TV tuned to European CNN, along with foreign newspapers. Charming older elevator and marble steps lead to modern, clean rooms with small balconies and spacious bathrooms. The real stunner is the rooftop restaurant with its beautiful views and ample breakfast buffets. Omelettes made to order, cereals, fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, giant pots of coffee, yogurt, cakes, everything one could want. It's a beautiful spot for an evening drink (but stick to wine as mixed drinks will cost you your firstborn). There is a terrific-looking buffet six out of seven evenings. We didn't have it but I heard it was excellent - we preferred to find small trattorias for our evening meals. I would definitely stay at the Isa again and recommend it.

The Hotel Isa on Via Cicerone 39 is a delightful small hotel with a very helpful and courteous staff. It is a short 15 minute walk to the vatican, and just a little farther the other way to The Spanish Steps and Trivoli Fountain.

We stayed October 10 and 11, 2009. We found it delightful. Breakfast and dinner on the quaint patio on top of the hotel was wonderful. The staff were courteous and helpful. Magnifico Fabio (on the front desk), you are the best.

All I can say is, a wonderful stay,

Phillip

Arrivaderci. We'll be back!

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights and it was absolutely great.

The hotel is in a nice location close to the Vatican area. The staff are polite and helpful and the hotel is clean and quite nice.

I had a single room and it was reasonable in size, but a bit small maybe. The room was very clean and all my stay was quite happy.

The highlight of this hotel is the breakfast. The breakfast is served on the roof with a view of the Vatican and the most amazing spread you can imagine. It was by far the best breakfast of all the hotels during my travels around Italy and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

The room was quite reasonably prices when booked early, and I will definitely be returning to this hotel on my next trip to Rome.

My wife and I wanted to stay in a hotel that was within walking distance to the Vatican. The Hotel Isa was a good choice. We were able to Email them that we needed to be picked up at the airport upon our arrival - no problem.

We got the corner room on the 5th floor (Room 504). What a treat - Not one but two balconies. The room was always cleaned as you would expect and the entire staff was helpful and friendly.

Don't miss the breakfast each morning on the roof terrace. The chef was a real pro and couldn't do enough to please you. The view of the top of St. Peter's from there was pretty neat.

We took a all-day side trip to the Tuscany - wine-country (we highly recommend doing that). If you go to the Vatican, take a guided tour - it also included St. Peter's. Bring comfortable walking shoes and just appreciate everything you see, do, eat, drink and all the gracious Italians you meet. Italy is truly "Multi-Benne".

Willie at the roof garden is an especially attentive, nice person!
Roof garden also a great place to eat..
Other good places to eat within short walk. .
Hotel In walking distance to Vatican, and St. Angelo castle and Villa Borghese.
Internet worked in lobby but not in our room on 3rd floor.
More expensive than we wished so we moved.
