My husband and I have just returned from a long weekend in Rome to watch Wales v Italy. I chose this hotel following favourable reviews and we were not disappointed.
As has been mentioned, the rooms are small but this is not unusual for Rome. The bathroom had a small shower cubicle (no bath) which was OK and the toiletries provided were of a good standard. The bed was a little hard but we found the pillows were rock hard - my husband said it was like sleeping with your head on a brick!! As we were only there for a few days this was not too uncomfortable, but if we had been there longer we might have asked for something a bit softer.
The reception staff were very helpful, as were the staff in the restaurant. We only ate breakfast in the hotel and there was plenty of variety - fruit, croissants, cooked, etc.
The hotel is in a good location and just a short walk from the nearest Metro - Republica - and the bus terminus. You can get anywhere in Rome from here. There were lots of local restaurants within walking distance and we ate out every night. One evening we ate in an Argentinian restaurant called Baires which had the most fantastic steak.
All in all, the Empire Palace is a small and friendly hotel in a convenient location. The rooms were kept immaculately clean and extra towels were provided daily. Bath robes and slippers were also provided. Drinks in the bar were expensive, but no more so than anywhere else in Rome.
We would not hesitate to use this hotel again and look forward to visiting Rome again, probably in another two years.
