My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights, my first trip to Rome (although she had lived in the city before). Hotel Art is in a great location - on the Via Margutta, a quiet back street that contains a few shops and some nice restaurants, but very close to the Spanish Steps, Piazza del Popolo, Villa Borghese, etc. We walked most places - the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and even Vatican City (although that was a hike). Easy enough access to the metro at the Spanish Steps, though. So - great location, quiet in the middle of the big city. The hotel itself is gorgeous, a renovated church, I believe. Our room was spacious for European standards, and very modern. We stayed on the Piano Verde, or Green Floor. The staff was competent, and we had drinks in the courtyard at night - a very nice experience.

We (2 adults and teenage daughter) stayed on the orange floor for 5 nights. Excellent central location- 2 mins walk to sights, restaurants, shops, but really quiet in our room. Breakfast was really excellent with a wide variety of cakes, cereals, fruit, yoghurts, eggs, cold meats/salami, juices etc. Staff at desk not gushing, but very helpful when approached :they arranged several trips and booked tickets for us efficiently. Our room was very modern with and big enough for the 3 of us, with a compact bathroom that included a bath tub. It's not cheap, but we felt that it met our needs perfectly.

My family (husband and 3 children) and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in August 2008. The location is great, very central, and on a quiet back street. We were suprised that the hotel had been listed as one of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World (we have stayed in others) since we did not rate the service, room refinements and especially the en-suite bathroom. The hotel is somewhat 'wacky' in it's decor and generally unconventional, being a mixture of minimalist and weird, but extremely colourful! The breakfast selection was good and included in the room rate, however we found the hotel generally overpriced. Next time we'll try somewhere else..

Stayed at the Art hotel for a weekend stay, with my wife and another couple. I was pleasantly surprised by the great location (only few steps from the Spanish Steps, in a quiet side road). The hotel is generally clean and well maintained. The breakfast, which was included in our Expedia-rate, is much better (more choice) than you would normally expect in Italy. The room is functional, a firm bed, a modern bathroom. There is a gym in the basement, with a cycle (broken), a stepper, and a running machine. Overall, it feels like a 4-star hotel. A little expensive at €220, but then again it is Rome.
