For me it's the same as the other reviewers: the location of this hotel is absolutely perfect.
The staff at reception, the concierge and the doorman are very friendly. The lobby and breakfast area look nice.
I didn't particularly like the breakfast: dry bread and too many sweet pastries. Paying EUR 25-31 for breakfast is outrageous.
My room was huge, so was the bathroom. The shower was great. Lots of space for my stuff. But... the ceiling in the bathroom could do with a renovation and not only the ceiling in the bathroom, but also in the hallways. The wallpaper is torn and the carpet is dirty.
The cleaning ladies were chatting away at 8:15 on Sunday morning, which is far too early.
If your room is next to the elevators, ask another room because you won't sleep. The elevators are old = very noisy.
I didn't pay for the room myself because I was here for business, I would have chosen a modern hotel.

Stayed there for a long weekend in January '09. First things first: the location is simply unbeatable! From our room we saw the pantheon; the busy via del corso and corso Vittorio Emmanuele were in walking distance and you could manage campo di fiori and the spanish steps by foot! The staff was very efficient, helpful (concierge gave excellent advise on restaurants) and too well meaning: the room was overheated. Unfortunately. the water pressure in the bathroom was quiet low (okay, so it was on the fifth floor) and there was no room in the bathroom to put your toiletries on. On the other hand, the beds were broad and the breakfast buffet had a lavish range.

We just came back from our long weekend in Rome and I have to recommend this hotel. The location is the best and the staff is very proffesional and kind. They sorted out all our questions and little problems we have with Iberia´s strike.The concierge(Marco) was always happy to help us and very proactive. The restaurant (La cesta) has a great chef and the breakfast is perfect!Very good quality products and lovely atmosphere. I recommend the romantic package.
Merry Christmas!

Well, I think that hotels are the sum of acomodations and service.
And the service there, is absolutely disappointing.
The main problem was at the end of the trip retorning to Paris.
I booked a taxi from the hotel to the airport and the driver simply let us in a WRONG airport.
I am sure that I don't have to know this since I pay 60 euros for this transport but they don't think so.
As I and my wife are preventive persons, we went to the airport 2 hours early. If we didn't this, we cold lost our plane !
I left a copy of my e-ticket to the concierges ( three at all ) and all of them didn't see that the airport was Ciampino instead of Fiumicino.
They are talking and talking all the time and don't pay attention to what is really important !
It is a shame, since the hotel is extremely expensive for this kind of service !

You can not beat the location. 1 minutes to the Pantheon, 2 minutes to the Piazza Navonna etc. The hallway is just beautiful and best feature is the roof terrace. It is just amazing if you sit up there, overlook Rome, listen to the church bells and enjoy the scenario. Absolutely fantastic, but that's it. The rest is just the usual rip off in Rome. I do not want to be too negative.... the rooms are big and definitely need a thorough make over/renovation. Oh yes, I had a renovation but outside the hotel with some nice construction workers doing their job in front of my window. And again, I do not think that you should pay extra for WLAN....not in this category. Would I recommend this hotel? Yup, for business travellers and please have a drink of the roof terrace.
