We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights before joining a tour. I don't understand the Italian star system, this supposed 2 star hotel was superior to the 4 star hotel that was part of the tour. I think the Parlamento only gets 2 stars because you have to go up about a dozen steps from the small lift - but what else do you expect in a building that is 5 centuries old.

The room is smallish, normal for european, quiet and clean. The bathroom was very good. There was a roof garden that was lovely for a drink & relax at the end of the day sightseeing & before dinner. All the staff had excellent english, and were knoweldgeable and helpful. Good range of foods at breakfast.

The hotel is an excellent location, midway between the Trevi fountain and the Spanish Steps. We were able to walk everywhere, all the attractions, a good range of restaurants, the supermarket (for snacks and wine to enjoy on the roof garden) and the laundromat.

We relied on reviews from TripAdvisor to choose this hotel, & it lived up to our expectations

This was our second stay at the Hotel Parlamento and we can't say enough about it. The location is great, close to the Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Pizza Navona, Trevi Fountain and many other historical sites. The staff is just great, friendly and very helpful, they make you feel like family.

Upon arrival, we were fortunate to be upgraded to the rooftop room (with adjacent terrace), which started off our visit on a very positive note! The room was well-appointed and very clean. We loved the location - right in the middle of the historic district and just off Piazza S.Silvestro with good bus connections around town.

The staff was most accommodating. We were warmly-received and felt very secure in the hotel. Andrea, who has lived in the States, is both fluent in English and very favorably disposed toward Americans. We enjoyed conversing with him.

We'll definitely stay here again the next time we're in Rome.

Just back from 3 nights in Rome. 3 of us flew Easy jet from UK - excellent. Taxi pick up at Rome Fiumcino Airport (Rome Shuttle) - didn't show. Picked up white taxi at the airport at 2130 for cost of 45 euros. Not necessary to book next time. Hotel Parlamento (2 star) is situated right in the centre of Rome equi-distant from Trevi, Spanish Steps, Pantheon. The Bus Station on the square , designer shops and Parliaament buildings and Post Office are just adjacent. Wise to book room 106 which has french windows to the roof terrace outside your room.. Breakfast on the terrace at no extra charge is OK but not great. Rooms have TV, safe, clean and even a jacuzzi type bath - room bit faded but clean. The staff are courteous, helpful and will help with maps, transport, advice and shopping. This part of Rome is totally safe and secure, day and night, suited politicians and smart businesspeople abound. Lots of inexpensive eating places are very close and the Pizza Restaurant (turn left as you come out of the hotel) up the street to has the traditional open fire oven. The famous ice cream parlour , about 100/150 yards up from the trevi,
that's with the trevi on your left straight up the street facing you and take the first left, it's tiny, no seats BUT ICE CREAM TO DIE FOR. Try to see the Trevi at night.
Went to the flower market which was just two or three stalls selling flowers but the other stalls were interesting, selling fruit and veg, cheese and some tat. Not really worth a detour.

The round-Rome open deck bus is excellent value, you can get off and on when you like and takes in all the sites. Must not miss the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican and the Bergaze Museum which you have to book a slot in advance - the hotel will do that for you but the tip is to book in advance of you getting to Rome. The Pantheon is astonishing and need to walk there.

Another tip, the hotel is nearly always booked up so you need to book well in advance, before you book your flight cos it is very popular - partly the price and the location. There is a lift at the hotel but it does not go the whole way, there is a small flight of stairs before you reach the reception.
