I had a problem with the taxi driver & asked the desk clerk to mediate. After driver left, clerk said I really owed driver more money but hotels & taxis are having a dispute so clerk wouldn't help driver! The room was modest size. The bathroom floor was never washed for 3 days, nor was the bath surround wiped down. I found item ffrom previous guest under the bed so I assume the room was not totally vacuumed.The hotel is a 15 or 20 minute walk to Metro, & it is uphill on the way back. Breakfast buffet was very good. Internet access was expensive. 15 minute walk to closest Internet cafe.

I started a month long vacation in Rome with my wife. This hotel was nice. The room and bathroom were clean but relatively small. The neighborhood was great and safe but be careful of the strong tourist element that exists on via venetto. Hotel Ludovisi's proximity to many landmarks is another plus. The staff was helpful and nice. Not the most bang for your buck, but thats what you get with an extremely weak U.S. dollar.

Stayed for 2 nights for a business trip.
Hall and common spacess very small and poor
Room was too small with a nice decor; bathroom ok
BIG PROBLEM: no mobile phone line!!!!! I had to go out in the street for making phone calls
Breakfast service awful for a 4 star hotel. Room too small and bad food, ok for 2/3 stars hotel
Anyway, payed 120 € and this price is good for a property located in that area (100 metres from via Veneto), but just for the location, not for for the service.

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 ......
