we stayed at the daniel hotel after going through at least a hundred hotels on trip adviser. oh my goodness, what a wonderful place. we got there and were told we had been upgraded to a junior suite. the room was gorgeous, leather sofa, high end bed linens, jacuzzi, wonderful shower. the room was large by european standards and the hotel was situated on a street only accessible to taxis and pedestrians so the noise factor was limited. breakfast was extremely pleasant, in the roof garden, clean and cheery. the capuccino was wonderful, as were the croissants filled with nutella. the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. they helped us with reservations for dinner each night and with maps for all the locations during the day. francesca and emanuela were wonderful. the only downfall was no high speed internet. but, if needed, one could use the computer at the lobby desk (one gentleman actually downloaded all his mail so he could read it on the plane). this hotel was truly excellent, more like a private home than a hotel. thank you for a wonderful stay in rome!!

We visited this hotel in April 2007 as a break away for just me and my husband. Having done many city breaks but having never travelled to Rome before we booked this hotel"blindly" having no recommendations from friends etc.
The place is superbly located-a stones throw away from the Spanish steps, a short walk to Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. It is set on a street with super shops and bars and at the end of the road you can easily get a cab or a bus if you don't want to walk to your destination. The room that we had was very plush although not enormous. The bed was large and extremely comfortable and the furniture was of the very best quality. The staff were extremeley polite and helpful. We only had breakfast in the hotel on the delightful roof terrace restaurant which overlooks the roof tops of old Rome-a perfect start to the day, although the breakfast was basic.

I'll keep this review short. The hotels location is perfect, the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, The room was sizable comfortable and clean with a HUGE private terrace, the bathroom was lovely, clean and modern with a Jacuzzi bath.
At £200.00ish a night it's not cheap but I couldn't fault it in any way. Reading the few negative reviews on this site amazes me as I really can't agree with any of the negative comments... some of which seem incredibly petty.
If you go to Rome and stay here you really won't be disappointed... Guaranteed!!!

I stayed at this hotel based on the reviews on TA and other websites and I was very disappointed! I love the details and quality of service of boutique hotels and hoped this one with its great location would be one to add to my list but sadly NO. First the positives location is magnificent, especially since my mother and I were staying for only three nights and going for shopping the location was perfect, we could drop some of the bags, start shopping the moment we stepped outside the hotel, it is also surrounded by several great cafes and rests. for lunch and dinner litterally steps away. Another positive was the size of the room, on check in we were informed that we were upgraded to a triple room, which was a pleasant surprise, the room is a spacious double room but in no way could accomodate three people, the wardrobe was very small though, it was clean and the windows are soundproof, no view at all one of the windows opened to plumbing, and the other opened to windows of other rooms where we could see and hear the other guests. The bathroom was the same spacious and clean. There is practically nothing else good about this hotel, the entrance is tiny that you can barely see it if you are a few buildings away which scared us a bit, then you go into a very narrow long corridor to the reception, two people cannot pass side by side in this corridor, one day as i was entering the housekeeping lady was standing with her things and we spent a few minutes trying to pass by eachother without dropping everything we were holding or squashing eachother. The elevator did some weird noises as were going up and it is in bad need for renovation. The conceirge is not very informative or knowledgable about rests. or reccomendations, I asked her about a couple of restaurants which were supposedly famous she didnt know them, when I asked her for reccomendation for a typical italian restaurant she said she had to think about it and call me back and when she did she reccomended a rest that was close but average at best. We had also requested the pick up service from the airport which turned out to be more expensive than a taxi, around 15-20 more euros, he was standing with a barely legible sign with our name we spent ten minutes looking for him, he drove while talking on the phone and alot of people were honking their horns at him for his driving AND he ran an errand while we were with him taking us on a detour to be able to do that!! The breakfast they informed us we could have in the breakfast room or in our room we opted for our room, but that was a horrific experience, the coffee tasted cold and ugly (the first and last ugly weird tasting coffee I had in Italy), the croissant was not fresh, the honey was frozen, and the five jams they got us were all in one flavor! when I complained to the receptionist, I think she was surprised or didnt understand but the breakfast the next day was worse with the croissant worse then the first day and the same weird coffee I didnt have any breakfast and we ate it outside! Other than that there was basically no extra service that is usually associated with boutique hotels, or four star hotels, like bathrobes, or slippers, or nice shampoos or creams. Nothing extra that I expected. My mother described it like renting a tiny flat rather than a hotel room which I think fits. For me this is overpriced for what it serves and I would never stay there again.
