This hotel was clean, and centrally located. It is family run with a warm friendly atmosphere. The rooms are modest but definately workable. The shower is very small. I would stay here again.

We spent two memorable weeks over Chirstmas holiday at the Hotel Golden, by the time we left, we felt like family. We converged at the hotel on December 22 from Philly, Hartford and Athens Greece missing my daughter's luggage. Guiseppi spent the next two days on the phone tracing her luggage and getting it delivered to the hotel. The big hotels around the corner would never have provided that service.

We had two rooms, my daughter had a small single which was perfect for her and we had a lovely double. The rooms were pristine, the beds good, and the hotel was quiet, even though it was a stones throw from the Via Veneto and our room looked out onto the city wall.

Marco and Guiseppi were great recommending restaurants and they even arranged for tickets to the opera. Every day they gave us insider tips regarding that day's adventures.

You could not ask for a better location, the 116 minibus runs up and down the Via Veneto all the way to the Vatican about every 4-10 minutes and with a week pass, it is essentially free. The metro stop is very close by and there are lots of cabs right around the corner.

We are actually going back to Italy in June and if we were going to be near Rome, we would definately stay at the Hotel Golden again.

The free and excellent WiFi was a hit with our daughter!

We stayed at the Golden for three nights. It was our first trip to Rome and we were very happy that we chose this hotel. For a very reasonable price for Rome we got a clean room in a good location. The included breakfast was excellent as well. We stayed in the triple, which was plenty large enough for two people. The hotel is a family operation and the younger brother was extremely helpful. Can't say the same for the older brother. Also, they provide free Internet access from a laptop in the lobby (although you have to stand up to use it). If you are budget conscious, it would be hard to beat the Golden.

We just returned from a week-long stay in Rome, during which we stayed at this beautiful hotel. It is family run, and the family are all very friendly and helpful. We booked a small double, which was indeed small, but beautifully decorated and well laid out. The bathroom was perfectly laid out, featured a large shower, and was absolutely spotless. The bed was very comfortable, and we found extra pillows in the cabinet. They have the most sound-proofed windows we have ever experienced. Although the street below was quite noisy, closing the window blocked out virtually every noise. The mini-bar in the room had very reasonable prices, so we took advantage of this, to have cold water when needed, and a glass of wine in the evenings. The included breakfast was very nice, in the European style (cold cuts, cheese, yoghurt, cereals, a variety of breads, cakes, and sweet or savory pastries, juice, coffee).
The restaurants recommended by Marco were indeed very good, and offered delicious food and wine at reasonable prices. We also enjoyed being around the corner from the Via Veneto, and spent some time in cafes on that street, people watching. The location -- virtually across the road from the Borghese gardens -- was excellent. Since we had been to Rome before and had seen many of the major sites, we wanted to spend time in the Museo Borghese and the Etruscan museum, both located in the gardens. The gardens themselves were a quiet and cool oasis in the midst of the bustling city. Many of the sites, from Campo di Fiori to Piazza Navona, to the Pantheon, were a comfortable walk away. We even walked to the Vatican from the hotel, which was quite a hike, but doable.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
