We have relocated to Rome, and whilst awaiting our new home to be ready, we stayed at this hotel, my family consisted of my self, my wife and three children ranging from 7 - 14, the staff were great, the porter carried or 8 cases to the rooms, the room are not huge as is the room rate, and we stayed for 7 days, breakfast was tasty, and location brilliant, with everything in walking distance, the coloseum was 30 mins walk from the hotel.

it was clean and tidy, excellent for a mini break or long term we have stayed at the hotel next door the Eden which was lovley with breakfast at 45 euros a head, and afternoon tea for 35 euros a head, and the Ludovisi would be my choice, a real family atmosphere. go for it ......

Stayed at the Ludovisi with a Globus tour group. We checked in a day early. The staff was extremely helpful in particular Alesandro. He gave directions to the subway station, and explained how to get around. It was lunch time and he recommended a great local restaurant.
The next day it was raining and the staff suggested we got to the Capital museum which is near the Forum. After the museum it had stopped raining and just a short walk to the Forum and Colisseum. A subway station is just accross the street so an easy cheap trip back to the hotel.
The room was small but very comforable. Clean bathroom and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was very good with a nice selection of meats, cheeses, sweets, eggs (Italians do not do eggs well, very runny scrambled eggs but that was the same at every hotel).
Excellent location, only minutes from Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Villa Borghese, and the American Embassy. Subway station is very close. Everything is downhill though, Rome is very hilly, seven of them. Good reasonable restaurants around but stay away from the Via Venetto area, near the American Embassy as it is expensive.
We enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay at the Ludovisi Palace again.

My husband and I were planning a trip of a lifetime to take my parents to Rome in celebration of my Dad's 80th birthday, followed by a cruise to the Greek Isles. I was told that the hotel was 4 star which I thought would mean it would be above average. All of us were stunned and disappointed when we arrived for our 3 night stay. I should have known immediately there would be problems when I saw the front door was missing the "P" in the lettering for Palace...the entire property appeared old, dated, shabby. The stairway up from the street to the reception area was covered in dingy carpet that was pulling up on the sides. Rooms tiny, cramped, with absolutely NO space to put any luggage. Closet? Not enough to hold more than 3 or 4 hanging items and no room to store anything. Beds were hard as nails and pillows were cheap foam. The staff was distant if not totally disengaged from their guests. Despite the good location we were totally miserable and had we been booked there for longer we would definitely have moved.

We just came back from our trek through Rome and it was magnificent. We stayed at Hotel Ludovisi Palace and we were always treated well. The receptionists were great and gave us great advice on where to go. The porter took care of our bags. Always treated with a smile.

Morning breakfast was good. Bacon, ham, cheese and eggs were the hot dishes. Variety of bread, pastries, fruits and cereals were the cold dishes. Got to choose from water, milk, oj, pineapple juice and grapefruit juice, as well as hot teas, coffees and hot chocolate. Just ask one of the waiters and they can fix you up cappuccino, espresso or hot chocolate.

Location was good. We usually took the bus to most of the places we visited and there were stops just around the corner to take us to our desired destination. I recommend the BTI, 3 day pass for only 11 euros. It was a good buy.

Also near the hotel is Villa Borghese, beautiful park, highly recommended!
