The delux rooms are very good. Some of the standard rooms are small. We had the delux room. Breakfast good, not great. Service very good. Location OK. Overall the hotel rates4 out of 5, although our experience was closer to 5.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bailey's Hotel. The staff did all they could to make us feel settled and comfortable. The rooms were excellent and immaculately clean - the linen changed daily and the rooms tidied twice daily. A brilliant restaurant was recommended for our evening meals and taxi booked for us to return to airport. A wonderful stay.

Why should we look anywhere else next time we go to Rome? The room was large, comfortable, elegant, quiet and well appointed. The breakfast was more than adequate and the staff were so obliging and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We only stayed one night but hey gave us every courtesy and service from booking a restaurant through to storing our luggage until 5pm. It is very conveniently located and offers a high level of provision with personal service.
Do phone and book directly rather than use any website because you always pay more that way. Our rate by booking direct was much lower.
An excellent comfortable place.

I booked this hotel because all of the hotels I like in Rome were full. Bailey's was not my first choice because of its bad trip advisor reviews (I like to stay at hotels that have at least 90% positive reviews and a solid 5 rating). Still, I couldn't find another hotel without negative comments for the dates I needed. Bailey's looked like the best of the "not-so-good" choices.

I'd heard about hotels in Rome that overbook on purpose and then send you to another hotel. I'd even read about it in one of the Bailey's comments, so you can imagine what I was thinking when they did it to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I quote: "I'm sorry, but the people who were supposed to check out of your room had their papers and money stolen, so they can't leave. We are fully booked, but will be happy to send you to another hotel nearby." HA!!!!! This is exactly what happened to the “No room for us...” Tripadvisor reviewer!

We didn't quibble with the woman at the front desk about the move (I already know we'd been played). We just dragged our bags down the street to the other hotel (Hotel Gambrinus Roma). There was a complimentary bottle of champagne in our room when we got there and an apology note from the Bailey's manager. Still, it was a bit disconcerting. To me a reservation is a contract. and when that contract is breached, it calls the credibility of the hotel into question. It made my traveling partner and I a little uncomfortable--we joked about waking up in the morning in a tubful of ice and one of our kidneys missing.

Bailey's obviously does the bait and switch a lot because when my traveling partner was passing through the lobby later that same day another set of guests were checking in who had also received the "people in your room got robbed" story (they were talking about it to one another and she overheard them as she left the Gambrinus' lobby).

In closing, Hotel Gambrinus Roma was fine. The room was a little worn, but lavishly decorated (some people might call it gawdy). It had a sitting room adjacent to the bedroom--which might have been an upgrade from the standard room we booked. Who knows. So, go ahead and reserve a room at the Bailey's... Just don't be too surprised if you don't end up staying there.
