stayed at the Hotel Delcorso 2 nights precruise. Came to the conclusion that this was not a 3 star hotel more like at 2 star and although the location could not be beat( by the Spanish Steps), still feel I paid way too much for these accomendations.
Had a triple and a double. The triple was ready on check in so 5 of us put allthe luggage in this room. Bathroom was very small, no vanity just a sink no where to put toiletries, and there were 2 single beds together and a cot ( not a bed). Air conditioner was almost non existant and it was very hot in Rome, so room was uncomfortable. Double room was much nicer, large vanity and nice decor. complimentary breakfast was a joke, bowls were so small for the cereal lucky if it held 2 tablespoons of cereal, Juice was unrecognizable,very pale yellow, terrible taste. hard boiled eggs, danish and crossaints (decent), lunch meat( it is Europe) coffee was served by an attendent. Again this was served on the roof top terrace, sounds nice however it was hot hot hot in Rome so if you like looking at tiled roof tops in 88 degree weather , the terrace is for you. The hotel reception team were very nice and helpful, as I stated before the location can not be beat, but for the money I think I could have found a better hotel. I will not return if I go to Rome again.

Was our first hotel on our 2 week trip to Italy..and we knew ahead of time we had a very small room (really a single with a bed that could fit two)...we were trying to save some $$$. It was a small room but we were really so tired that it did not matter too much to us. Bathroom was not too bad ... fairly clean, shower was fairly clean...

Best thing about this hotel is the Location!! Location of this place is ideal (middle of everything, literally - Spanish Steps, Shopping Streets (Via Corso, Via Condotti - with Prada, Gucci, etc.), Villa Borghese Park... It's close two metro stops which we used to get around city; Was close to everything and since we were not planning to spend too much time in hotel, the small room was not a bad choice for us ..

Although I doubt any non-Italian speakers will book into this hotel, I wanted to make sure if you do there is no illusion. This was no doubt once a lovely hotel and the location off the via del corso is superb but it is now well past it's best. We entered a room on a the third floor and was hit by a stale repellent smell, which my husband classed as "armpit". The rooms was filthy - greasy yellow netting hung limply at the window, stained sofa and worktop, cracked bathroom. We didn't know where to put our clothes down safely. The lamp switches were brown with dirt and greasy. In the end we slept on top of the bed not wanting to venture under the sheets. There was no aircon, although we did have to wash our hands after pressing the buttons in a vain attempt to get it to function (it was also dirty). We stayed because friends were staying in the same hotel and it was just for one night. This place is vastly overpriced - I would recommend staying somewhere else.

Hello.
I stayed at Hotel del Corso in Rome after a cruise in May 2007. Here is my honest feedback:
Pros
-very friendly staff
-great breakfast/cute dining room
-beautiful beautiful beautiful
-best possible location for the price, you are close to everything
-Ease of check in and check out
-Fabulous accomodations, bed great
-The front desk person checked the flight departure time for us on his computer!
Cons
-AC didn't work, we couldn't get anyone to fix it, we opened up the window which worked fine so we didn't make a big deal about the AC not working. At night though, it was sooooooooooooo loud outside having the window open. Couldn't close the window because it was way too hot in the room. If I would have had ear plugs it would have been perfect.
-Safe didn't work, tried to get someone to come up and fix it but nobody did. That was ok though, the nice guy at the front desk put our passports in his safe while we were out of the room.
