I stayed for few days in Waldorf Rome. In general it’s a classic high standard luxury hotel. The service of front desk and concierge was excellent. Breakfast was rich and tasty although the waiting time for table was a bit long. The room was very comfortable. It’s a bit old and not so stylish but it’s a matter of taste. The facilities was also great. If you’re looking for vacation and not in city center that’s the place!
Having visited Rome twice previously, I was unprepared for the lush landscapes and peacefulness Rome Cavalieri provided. My Roman experience to date had been relegated to the Ancient parts of the city center: staying near busy city streets, surrounded by stone, plaster, tourists and high energy. We chose the Rome Cavalieri for its beautiful grounds, impressive accommodations, and (frankly) the pool. We wanted our daughters to have the option to swim, and have something fun to look forward to after a day of “tour-ture” (a term coined by our 14-year old). Our initial prepaid-Family Room plans were altered by the Pandemic; thankfully for Flavia with the hotel's reservation staff, we found ourselves in two connecting Premium rooms with views of the city. Wow, wow, wow! What a way to end a busy day of touring the Eternal City. The rooms were beautifully furnished, bright and cheery; the blackout screen was effortlessly lowered with a button push, permitting our midday nap. The air conditioning worked very well and room service was fast (bonus: salty snacks arrived with the bottle of wine!). The bathrooms were large with a vanity and separate make-up table. The daily breakfast buffet was staffed by attentive and very friendly servers, happy to help us gather the many alluring breakfast items available. The pool was beautiful - alas, our jetlag got the best of us and we never partook (our daughters also weren’t thrilled with the current swim cap mandate). We were able to walk to lovely neighborhood restaurants close by, one of which our daughters voted best pizza for our entire Italian holiday...including Naples! Additional perks included a nearby ice maker (helpful for my turned ankle, a result of some missing cobblestones my foot discovered on Day 3) and nightly turndown service. We were so happy and thankful we experienced this beautiful hotel.…
This is an old world style hotel located on a hill on the west side of Rome. The views are breathtaking. There are extensive grounds as well as indoor and outdoor pools, spa and fitness center. I had an excellent massage. The hotel is an art gallery with beauty everywhere you look-fine paintings, furniture, objets d'art-even by the elevators and in the hallways. We stayed 4 nights and I always saw new things to enjoy and at which to marvel. We had a King Imperial room which gave us access to the Club level serving at lunchtime and cocktail hour. The food and beverage selection was excellent. The room was beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. The large marble bathroom was gorgeous. We also had a separate sitting area. We had the city view from our balcony. Bedding was quite luxurious. The room is listed as 50sqM Service throughout our stay was outstanding. The concierge was always helpful and maid service was punctual, convenient and thorough. The location is not convenient. The hotel offers a shuttle bus which we did not use. It is a 20 minute taxi ride to get to restaurants or city attractions. We normally stay in the heart of the old city where it is short walk to Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, and many museums. I would not recommend this hotel for a first time visitor as you will not get much of a sense of what this incredible city is about. We came at the end of our trip so a wonderful resort type setting was good for us. We planned too late to get a reservation at the hotel's 3 star Michelin Restaurant, La Pergola. The other restaurant in the hotel was not too appealing visually although food and service were fine. The hotel breakfast had abundant choices but was not exceptional. This is truly one of the most beautiful properties I've ever stayed in and I recommend with the caveat mentioned above.…
The hotel is one of the typical ones Hilton put down end of the 50/60s in major capitals. Location with plenty of park around it. Compared though to the nearby Grand Hiltons: Athens and Istanbul, this was definitely the worst. There is a clear list of benefits a diamond member can get, and for example access to the executive lounge is excluded here. No problem, clear rules. Sadly enough though, with the hotel not full, we were still not given an upgrade. The excuse that we asked for connecting rooms i might have understood, if the rooms were indeed prepared. However that was not done, so we had to ask to open the doors and put an extra bed in. Disappointing for a brand that says to strive for excellence. So the views from our room was to a nice concrete appartment block (whilst the other side will have the fantastic views the hotel advertises with). Rooms themselves are large and luxurious. We only found out next day though that there are blinds which you can operate to get it dark into the room, operated by a hidden button.... nice for not telling us.... More worrying was the pool area, where a man was harrassing people. It took forever before security arrived (30 minutes), whilst he was busy harrassing even the pool guards. So if you want a save stay with your family with children.... this is not the place... Of course an exception... Breakfast in the restaurant was good. Wide choice of dishes. Friendly service. Final night we ate at Pergola, but that is a different review. Distance to tourist attractions is far. There is a free shuttle which can bring you to Bernini Metro station. After that you can walk to most places. Overall the hotel is NOT living up to its standards, and definitely did not do its best to convince me coming back here. Big disappointment and I would rather recommend a hotel somewhere closer to the city.…
The Rome Cavalieri is an exquisite “once in a lifetime” hotel experience located high on the hill overlooking the city of eternal light, Rome & Vatican City. This hotel is visually arresting. The art work on display throughout the hotel as well as in the hotel rooms give guests their first introductory tour of some of the greatest treasures ever created. From original Andy Warhol’s to the framed costumes of ballet great Rudolf Nureyev, no matter where you look your eyes are cast upon a rare piece of art history whose beauty is exceeded only by the services offered by the hotel’s excellent staff and the five star dining experiences coupled with a three star Michelin restaurant. It is very important to understand that in order to dine in some of the city’s greatest and most well known restaurants you will need to have secured a reservation days, weeks, months, and sometimes more than a year in advance however you will not be disappointed by the quality of the restaurants you may choose by just walking by them and making a game day decision. The massages me and my daughters received at the spa and wellness center helped to remove any ache & pain created from long air travel. From the moment you arrive your visit starts with generous & warm smiles and assistance with luggage from doormen, to the swift and efficient check in from the receptionist as well as the guidance given by the concierge. If we had chosen to do nothing but stay in the hotel we would have still had a fabulous and restful vacation however one’s visit to Rome must be taken in full measure by walking the streets and looking at the historic ruins of the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain as well as The Vatican City and thousands of sight, sounds, and tastes of local businesses who have served a city that serves the world for hundreds of years. We planned our trip for more than a year, and due to the global pandemic it was delayed for more than 2.5 years however it was well worth the wait and fulfilled a dream on our vacation bucket list, which was to enjoy Rome as a family with our three adult children as well as with my husband of 40 years. Your visit to Rome starts with your choice of hotels and your own commitment to doing a little homework. I’m certain you will not be disappointed.…
Room not ready at 3 p.m. Manager did not seem to be interested in solution providing. Room not entirely clean. Location is Great and the view is stunning though. La Pergola always a Great Choice (Heinz Beck)
In summary, the Rome Cavalieri has proven to be the perfect choice for our city trip to Rome. We liked the location which is on a hill, surrounded by wonderful gardens and awesome city views. The hotel is not in the city center but only a 10min taxi ride away which we found absolutly ok. While the room decor is not modern, it looks and feels much better in reality than on the pictures. As we were traveling with our 3 kids we had connecting rooms which were absolutely fine. Concierge service was excellent and Guiseppe helped us a lot to prepare our stay and made excellent recommendations for the right sightseeing tours and restaurants. Thank you Guiseppe! For families with young kids we can recommend the Golf Cart Tour which makes it easy to see plenty of sights in a comfortable way. Taverna Trilussa in Trastevere for dinner was simply perfect. Breakfast in the hotel was very good and service by many of the waiters was really excellent. We have been to many 5 star hotels where we had to get water and juice ourselves... at the Rome Cavalieri our glasses where always full with whatever we needed. What could be better? Well, the building is not nice from the outside but this was no big deal for us.…
We had a fabulous stay at Rome Cavalieri. Our check in was very welcoming. The assistants took care of everything. Our room had a balcony looking over all the sights in Rome. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated with a large bathroom. There was turn down service nightly. We had the buffet breakfast which was plentiful. The grounds surrounding the hotel have statues, plants., trails. A resort. The exceptional service made it special.
Stayed here as part of a package for 2 nights. Hotel is a 60s build so not very attractive from the outside but is lovely inside with a great bar area, outdoor pool and restaurant and indoor pool. Our room was large and comfortable with a balcony, unfortunately no tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was buffet style with lots of choice, friendly and efficient staff. We had lunch outside by the pool (they were cleaning and filling it up when we arrived so couldn’t use). Lunch was really good and reasonably priced for a 5 star hotel (we even spotted an ex footballer which made my OH day!). Decor is a bit chintzy but quality, like other WA hotels. It is out of the centre and too far to walk. We used the complimentary shuttle bus, which was fine but didn’t drop you dead central, about a 10 minute walk from Trevi fountain. Not sure if I’d stay here again if I came back to Rome, would probably stay more central tbh. But if you want a quiet luxury hotel this is the one.…
Beautiful location just outside the city center but easy to get to by complimentary shuttle. Staff is so warm and welcoming for 2 weary travelers (me and my 11 year old daughter). We are thrilled with the room, the facility and special thanks to Alessandro at Reception who was patient and helpful as I tried to navigate Apple Pay!!! LOL I am so happy we chose this hotel as I like the break from the hustle and bustle of Rome.
