We had the most wonderful time in Rome and a lot of it was because of the lovely staff at Hotel Giuliana. We were with our little one (16months) and nothing was too much trouble for them. It really made our trip special.

I appreciated how nice they were and how willing they were to help me. I was able to check in early (they cleaned the room right after I arrived at 10:15 am, and gave me space to use to rearrange my bags while I waited), the breakfast was healthy and fairly substantial, and they told me where a great local grocery store was that was only 2 tiny blocks away (bottles of wine for less than $2, bars of chocolate for 60 cents). The room was small, but pretty standard for Europe. My room didn’t have AC, only a fan, but I was comfortable (some rooms do have AC, and I think I could have paid extra to get it?). It was very clean. It's an easy 5-8 minutes walk from the main train & bus station and the transfer point for the metro, and blocks from a few tourist sites. It would be a farther walk to other main Rome sights, but they are walkable or it would be easy enough to get to the metro and bus station, where most routes originate. Even as a single female, I felt safe walking in the area after dark and early morning.

We spent two days at the Hotel Giuliana in May 2009 as we had gone to Rome to meet a cruise. The staff is friendly, helpful and speaks English well. The room was clean and things worked well including the air conditioning. Since it was hot this was quite welcome.

The drawbacks were that our room was rather small. There was a wardrobe and two shelves, but really could not unpack. The bathroom also was small with no space to leave toothbrush. shave cream, etc. The breakfast was adequate but certainly basic.

Would I go there again? Yes, but again only for a short stay.

As first time visitors to Rome, we were so pleased with Hotel Giuliana. It is centrally located and our room was very clean. We appreciated the air conditioning and the insular windows that kept out the street noise. This is a very secure hotel that is staffed 24/7. Most of all, we appreciated the very friendly management and staff who booked day tours for us, gave us directions, restaurant recommendations, and treated us like family. Thank you, Hotel Giuliana, for all your kindness in making our first trip to Rome so pleasant and memorable.
