I travel frequently outside the US. I was attending a business meeting in Rome and I decided to come a few days early to sight see.

The acccommodations very nice. My room was a little small. I stayed in room 106. The room was clean and nicely presented. From some of the pictures I have seen on other websites, the upper rooms look a little larger.

A modest breakfast was offered each day. Several restaurants are in walking distance (a block or two). Close to the subway (only two stops from Termini Station).

I would recommended this hotel. I am not sure I would stay if I was bringing my kids.

1 st Dec 2007.
Just returned from a 5 day, 4 night break in Rome. The Hotel Patrizi is in an ideal location just outside the city walls in an area which contains a large number of Embassies and Italian Goverment Buildings. Very handy for the metro - Policlinico or 40 minute easy walk to the centre of Rome. Hotel provides room and breakfast only. No restaurant or bar facilities in hotel but plenty within a few minutes walk. Hotel comfortably furnished but does not come up to it's 4 star rating in terms of the small size of rooms, the bathroom fixtures and fittings are beginning to look tired, and if you have the misfortune to end up on the 2nd floor - rooms 301, 302 etc ,you may experience the overheating problem that required us to have the windows permanently open. The air conditioning did not work. We asked for a room change and were moved from 304 to 302 only to find the problems to be identical. It appears to us that if you are on a deal as we were, 4 nights for the price of three, then you get the sauna. The buffet breakfast was adequate but not that of a 4 star hotel.

We stayed at Villa Patrizi for 4 nights. I had some reservations after reading some of the reviews here but was pleasantly surprised, we arrived several hours earlier than expected and they were able to accommodate us even though the hotel was solidly booked. I can not speak highly enough about the staff at this hotel. This was the tail end of our European Holiday and the staff treated us like family. In particular Ricardo and Nichola were very attentative and made us feel very welcomed. I'm from Australia and can speak Italian. They spoke English well enough to understand. We got a triple room with a decent bathroom. We knew in advance that the breakfast would only be continental, so I don't know why people complain about this fact. The location is in a more quieter section of central Rome Near the English Embassy and is only 2 stops from Termini (Central Rome). Pleanty of shops and restaurants nearby. Would stay here again.

We had a lovely room with a pleasant balcony, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean although rooms are small. The bathroom was tiny but perfectly functional and the shower was good. There is no bath - shower only, although this did not concern us. Breakfast is a basic continental selection but what more do you require when on holiday? Staff spoke varying degrees of English but those with good english were more than helpful. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and despite reading several poor reviews of this hotel we found our experience much more positive.
