Can't say enough good things about this hotel!!! We loved the location, it's literally a few steps from the Spanish Steps. The rooms are spotless, beds are extremely comfortable and completely soundproofed. The staff is equal to that in a five star hotel.
We're stopping in Rome for a few nights at the end of a trip we're taking this June and I'm so sad this property is already booked. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

If you're looking for a luxury boutique hotel that's spotlessly clean with exemplary service, look no further!

Portrait Suites is really a great property. The service is top notch - all of the staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, and they really make you feel at home. The room (number 53) was thoughtfully laid out and nicely decorated, with lots of storage space and a little kitchenette and table, large bathroom with a deep tub and really nice shower. TV (large flat screen) is nice, and although channels are limited, the DVD player in the room helped - just bought a bunch of Italian films with English subtitles to watch in the room. The room also had a nice balcony overlooking Via Condotti. The rooftop terrace (with cozy fireplace!) is spectacular, with views of the Spanish Steps and much of Rome.

The one drawback at Portrait Suites is that save for the continental breakfast (which is just okay), there is no room service. Generally not a problem in Rome where great food is ample, but occasionally missed. Even thought it is a small hotel, it would be great if they could make an arrangement with another nearby hotel or a restaurant to deliver to guests.

My husband and I had the real pleasure of staying at the Portrait Suites for five days this past month and I really cannot say enough about the property. From the minute you check in the staff makes you feel like you are the only guests. The rooms are perfectly appointed - from the mohair sofa to the Ferragamo fabric lining the drapery. Vintage shoes in cases and lithographs of shoe designs(Ferragamo of course)decorate the walls. We had a deluxe studio with a kitchenette, a big walk thru closet and huge bath. My in-laws were traveling with us and their room was the superior studio and it was just as lovely but not as big. But the service was the best part of the stay. When they say anything you need, they mean it and it is a phone call away. The roof top terrace was amazing with a full honor bar and a cozy fireplace for cocktails after a long day of touring. They give you the option of paying 20E a day for unlimited use of the honor bar but we chose not to take it. And then there is the location. It is about 20 ft off the Via Condotti and easy walking distance to a ton of great restaurants. It was a little expensive but worth every penny and will be my first choice the next time I am in Rome.

I recommend room 15 that is a beautifully decorated junior suite with kitchen facility and balcony overlooking the Via Condotti (only room with a balcony, I was told). It was quiet and well appointed. The rooftop area is also very nice; service was excellent and very personal. Breakfast was perfectly fine. The location can't be beat in terms of being in the center of town. Only fault was that I asked if they could advance me some cash and put it on my bill in order to pay my taxi to the airport since I ran out of cash and they told me they couldn't -- we were talking maybe $20. I had to run looking for an ATM at midnight due to this. But otherwise, it's a great boutique hotel and a shrine to women's shoes, in case you're interested. I thought my room was good value at 650 Euro and I'd go back.
