My husband and I just returned from an amazing 7 days in Rome to celebrate New Years Eve and have a romantic holiday. I did a lot of reseach on hotels in Rome as i have visited Rome many times but have always stayed with relatives far from the city so I wanted the best location and a comfortable room for 7 days.
After reading all the positive reviews on trip advisor i chose the Relais Pierret for location and the size of the room. Neither one disappointed us.
From beginning to end the hotel offered excellent service from their very quick replies to my emails and their useful information on restaurants etc in Rome.
The hotel was at first hard to find as we had an airline car transfer that dropped us off at the wrong hotel but if you are facing the spanish steps its the building to your left with the boutique Furla next to the large front doors that lead to the 8 quaint rooms on level 1 of the building.
Our room was larger than expected - the bed was one of the most comfortable we have slept in - it consisted of 2 twin beds which I think are zipped together to form one large very comfortable bed with 4 pillows (2 firm and 2 soft).
The bathroom had 2 separate basins and were separated by another door so you had his/her bathrooms - one had the bathtub and basin and the other room had the toilet, bidet and basin. Again another reason why i would stay at this hotel again.
The ceilings were around 18 feet high which gave us a greater feeling of space.
We were fortunate not to have any loud guests during our stay as you can hear the footsteps down the corridor and any chatting but this would not deter us from staying here.
Rome during New Years Eve is amazing.... the atmosphere is incredible and the weather was cold and clear so we were able to spend the night ouside at the open air concert ouside of the Colosseum and then sit at the Fountain of Trevi at 2am eating pizza and drinking campari. An unforgettable night.
It was comforting returning to our hotel each evening to our lovely room which felt like home after 7 days.
I dont think you can find a better location than the Spanish steps for sightseeing, restaurants, the best shopping in the city and the Metro was 1 minute walk from the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel for couples and singles.
