Went to Rome in September 2005 with my mother, aunts, cousins and a nun (don't ask, I am a lasped Catholic and with hindsight I think this was a bit of an attempted stitch-up to be honest). We were initally due to stay in a convent (!) and that fell through so I was naturally suspicious about the new choice of "hotel" and looked it up on Tripadvisor. It had mostly good reviews and certainly lived up to its reputation when I was there. Lovely place, great location, in fact, the location is the best thing about it. It really is within walking distance of most of the sights of Rome, I walked to the Pantheon in about 5 minutes flat. Service was mostly good, room large and bed spacious and very comfy. The only downside was the morning bun-fight, otherwise known as breakfast. No organisation at all, and complete chaos when different cultures mixed, ie us Brits politely queuing to go in the dining room through gritted teeth whilst other people swanned in as if they didn't have a care in the world - which I suppose they didn't, as they were getting their breakfast..

All in all a top place in the most ridiculously photogenic place I have ever seen. Divine indeed.

Just returned from a 5 night stay at the Adriano.
We found the hotel well-run, comfortable, clean, with an excellent choice of food at breakfast and being located extremely conveniently to access most of the city on foot. Throughout our stay we easily walked to whatever we wished to see, without the need to use public transport. Of course half the pleasure is to walk around such a fascinating city as Rome...and knowing that you can return to a pleasant hotel to rest-up until the next day's exertions makes a big difference!

Just got back from a 3 day trip to Rome (Nov 05) and stayed at this hotel. Very nice, very clean. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and helped us plan our sightseeing tour perfectly! Rooms are well decorated with new furniture, beds could have been bigger, but were very comfortable. Our bathroom was a little on the small side, but not a problem. They are refurbishing at the moment, but its nearly complete and we barely noticed it. Breakfast was very nice and plentiful.

BIG PLUS WITH THIS HOTEL! the location. 5 mins walk to Piazza Navona and Pantheon, 10 mins walk to Spanish Steps and 15 mins to the Vatican (if that). Honestly you can walk EVERYWHERE from here! Its also very quiet tucked away from the busy and noisy main roads, which was also a HUGE plus point (rome streets, not the quietest!). Oh and metered taxi price from/to Termini Station 11 euro's. DONT GET RIPPED OFF!

We just got back from Rome and the Hotel Adriano (Nov 4-8, 2005). Most of the staff was very helpful. Room we were initially given was very small and I had previously requested a double superior, which when we asked if one had come available, they remembered and we were immediately transferred - room 305. Lovely corner room - spacious, very clean and bath was also great. Obviously more money, but definately worth it. It was noisy, but where isn't there street noise on Rome's tiny narrow streets? Very clean throughout.

Breakfasts were very acceptable with rolls, meats, cheeses, eggs, and fruit (although canned). Very nice breakfast rooms.

The location was indeed the selling feature for us! It is located within walking distance of EVERYTHING. We did take a taxi to the Vatican because we had a full day planned. They were easily accessible.

The staff is very good about responding to emails and I would highly recommend using this form of communication.
