Ten of us were attending my sister in laws wedding in Rome and as my wife and I had used the River Palace several times in the past recommended it to the wedding guests as a good base for their stay.We weren't disappointed.The staff were excellent and went out of their way arranging transportation,looking after luggage and in general making it a special occasion.The hotel is right beside Piazza del Popolo which is within walking distance of The Spanish Steps,Trevi fountain,Pantheon etc.If you are looking for a comfortable,reasonably priced,centrally located hotel with a friendly atmosphere and extremely helpful staff for your stay in Rome I thoroughly recommend the River Palace.
I must also mention Restaurant Canova across the Piazza del Popolo from the hotel.They arranged the evening meal after the wedding and the food,service and atmosphere were all excellent.They even organised a wedding cake at short notice

We booked this hotel after a tour of Italy, and based on reviews on Trip Advisor, and weren't disappointed. It was wonderful. We arrived early, and didn't expect to be able to check in, but the staff couldn't do enough to get our room ready for us almost immediately. The rooms are quite small, but beautifully decorated. The location is perfect, close enough to walk everywhere, or to catch public transport if you choose to. There is free internet, a real bonus in Europe, and a happy hour in their very comfortable bar area, with free snacks. The staff made numerous calls to transfer companies when we had no copy of our airport transfers (another story!), to locate the company and ensure we were picked up on time. Breakfasts were great - toast would be good though - and there were plenty of places close by to eat out which were reasonably priced, or within a 10 minute walk.

We stayed for three nights in early June 09. It 's in a good location, only five minutes' walk from the Via del Corso, ten minutes from the Spanish Steps. It was easy to get to (train from Fiumicino to Termini, four stops on the Metropolitana to Flaminio), though the entrance is so discreet we nearly walked past it. All the staff were unfailingly cheerful, courteous and obliging, the room was quiet and comfortable (though the AC struggled a bit), and the breakfasts included tasty fresh fruit and pastries. The coffee was poor, though; ask the staff to bring you a cappuccino. The best thing was the happy hour, with half-price drinks from 6 to 9 pm and plenty of sandwiches and nuts to keep you going till dinnertime. Oh yes, and free Internet access. A great hotel.

We spent three nights at the River Palace prior to a Princess cruise. The Hotel has been remodeled and the staff is very friendly. The rooms are small but very nicely decorated. The air conditioning is OK but the controls leave a little to be desired.

The Hotel is in a great location, less than one block from the People's Plaza. Quite a few pizza restaurants and more upscale restaurants within walking distance. Walking distance from the Spanish Steps and Tivoli Fountain. Would definately stay here again. Buffet breakfast was good with several choices included in room price.
