We just returned from a 10 day stay in Rome at the Romanico Palace Hotel.
This hotel is located in a great central location. Every sight we wanted to visit was a short subway ride away.
The morning breakfast on the roof terrace was very nice and well stocked.
The Romanico is located on a busy street and there is some road noise - but our room was on the sixth floor and we were not bothered by the noise as I heard some guest say they were.
We were so pleasantly surprised by the staff's courtesy and interest in making our vacation go smoothly. From recommending a great restaturant to a manicurist, they responded well to every request.
One word of caution - be sure to go with one of their larger rooms as the "standard" isn't going to satisfy many travelers.

My husband and I booked the romanico hotel for our honeymoon and as it was one of the most expensive hotels on our trip we expected a certain standard. We had also mentioned we were honeymooners and no effort was made by the hotel to acknowledge it. Every other hotel did. From the website, we expected a spacious room with a large jacuzzi. On arrival, the room was small with a jetted bath for a jacuzzi. The first time we used the jacuzzi, the jets pumped dirt into the bath.

It is only about a fifteen minute walk to the city centre, so the location is good. Breakfast is also good.
It's just not worth the money.

My husband visited Rome for the first time and chose the Romanico Palace, in spite of some of reviews on this website. We booked through American Express Travel, getting a Double Prestige Room with a Jacuzzi tub overlooking the city. The room was beautifully decorated in classical Italian ornate gold and blue (Room 614). The bathroom was awesome. We loved the gold marble, big towels, glass shower, water pressure, the overall look and comfort. The location is excellent and very convenient. We felt very safe walking around at any time of day because the US Embassy is one block away. There were Polizia everywhere, some carrying Uzzi's! The hotel is a couple of blocks from some great shopping. We were also very close to some of the tours we signed up for through Viator.com. The hotel staff were very helpful, making dinner and taxi reservations for us. The terrace patio was beautiful and open for complimentary and delicious breakfast and happy hour. The terrace service for breakfast was top notch; the terrace service during happy hour was slow, perhaps understaffed. It would have been great if the hotel would offer lunch & dinner, but we did not have any trouble finding great little eating spots. Since we were on the top floor, the moving of the chairs on the terrace woke me up in the morning. Lastly, my husband was happy that the hotel offered Wi-Fi. It was the fastest Internet connection he has ever received. Though as our trip progressed, we realized that all Wi-Fi in Italy is faster than in the US. Our experience with the Romanico Palace was fantastic and we will stay there again.

Me and my partner stayed in the romanico palace for 3 nights and throughly enjoyed our stay. We had buffet breakfast which was very nice except for the toaster didnt really toast the bread! Cleanliness was to a very high standard as was the service, bags were taken to our room and the room was cleaned every day. The only thing we were not happy about was the fact that the cleaner was interfering with our belongings, ie playing on my DS and not even putting it back! The other thing was that my partner had coffee and I had my own herbal tea bag and we got charged 3 euros for hot water! and we were not even told about it. Mini bar didnt have a price list either which put us off having anyting. There is a terrace on the top floor which is open 6.30-9pm which was a little dissapointing as it was so nice we would have liked to go up during the day as well. Location was pretty good if you dont mind walking, very close to restaurants and bars and about 25min walk to the main shopping part of rome.

Overall we liked the hotel and we would definately go back.
