I could not fault this hotel . I t exceeded my expectations.It is not cheap but, if your staying here then you re not looking for a "budget hotel"
I found it good value.
The room although not huge( but this is a Rome city hotel) was beautiful, and like most looked over the inner courtyard.
There is an excellent breakfast, and a bar to come back to at night.
The position is good with a 10 min walk to the sights and bus stops, but far enough away from the terminus station , ( which I guess is the worst end of the city.)
There are also a few good restaurants very close.
We tried two of them and they were superb
The staff on our visit could not do enough for you.
In my opinion if you want something a bit special , this fits the bill.
It certainly made our stay in Rome a very good one . I would definitely re book if I return to rome

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights, and we were having a conference in this hotel as well. Location is fine, but it is somewhat on the side of the downtown. If you are planning a vacation, I would suggest staying somewhere closer to Piazza Navona or Trevi fountain.

Regarding accommodation, I think I had a standard room, which was very nicely furnished, but was very small. There was no designated place for the suitecase, so I had to sqeeze mine on the floor between the bed and the wall. Of course, it was not possible to walk there anymore, so to open the curtaines I had to crawl over the bed. The bathroom was also very small with a shower cabin. I am not very tall, so it was fine for me, but my husband could hardly fit in it.

The staff in this hotel is another issue. There can be a bell-boy, in a while you will meet him as a technitian, and some time later he is a waitor. So, this was quite strange. I think overall, by Italian merits, the staff was ok.

Breakfast was also fine, nothing special. Scrammbled eggs & sausages were the only hot meal.

This was my first trip to Rome, and after work I took a 5-day vacation, and my husband and I rented a cozy apartment around the corner from the Pantheon 3 times cheaper than a standard room in this hotel.

The empire palace hotel was wonderful. My family and I stayed there and it was clean and the breakfast was great!! The room was on the small side, but the bathroom was huge and very clean. It was a short walk to Piazza Barberini, and we would all definitely stay there again.

We stayed in a standard room which was big enough for 2 and 2 small suitcases. The hotel is actually a lot smaller than it looks on the website.
Positive: Rooms are small but comfortable and clean. Excellent beds. Quiet hotel. Great breakfast! Hotels is close to subway. A few restaurants nearby.
Negative: nothing really except maybe that the rates are quite high and that they charged for internet access.
