The kids got to their room the AC was not working... The fan definitely was not going to work in a room with 4 people... The guy moved the kids room, when we went to change them the guy was coming to bring the other bed so he helped bring both beds to the new room... We got back to the hotel from dinner and the kids went into the room instead of housekeeping making the bed they removed a bed, downstairs he went again... Our room the AC was not that strong but u can feel it’s not strong in the hallway it’s an old building... You can see wear and tear in the rooms (again old hotel)...

I cannot thank the hotel enough for making our stay and the evening of my birthday in the Doney restaurant so special... I will never forget it and came away feeling that our stay at this hotel in Rome had been one of the best weeks of my life – and I have travelled all over the world in my time, staying at numerous hotels!... A hotel where guests are made to feel so special is very hard to find – Westin Excelsior definitely ticks the boxes!...

    ...The staff was not welcoming and the hotel is old and tired. The bar on the main level was really the only good thing we found... Room service was awful and they didn't seem to care when I called to express my concerns... We checked out early to move to a different Marriott property and we were very happy at that one for the rest of our visit... We deserve more at a 5 star, expensive hotel...

    Vía Veneto is a welcoming neighborhood with the utmost standards in hotels in Rome, and The Westin is no exception, particularly catering to American guests. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable, and they serve an American Breakfast... The attentive concierge service truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable... They took care of all our airport transfers and expertly arranged reservations at Rome's top restaurants... It rivaled some of Italy's finest 5-star hotels, offering outstanding amenities and service... The room service was exceptional and even catered to our son's special requests... We enjoyed the well-equipped gym, complete with a sauna and steam room, as well as the full-sized pool... We would like to express our sincere appreciation to General Manager Marc Lannoy for his outstanding leadership and the exceptional experiences provided by his team...

We ate breakfast in the dining room each day and enjoyed the service in there as well... We would stay here again for the great location and service!...

    ...The most expensive property with the worst service possible... We requested the concierge to have it attended to; an hour and half later still the same situation... One waits in a line to check in, which can take Upto an hour... Nobody bothers to answer calls, whether it’s to the concierge, front desk or housekeeping.. And despite being promised a ‘welcome gift’ being a Gold card member of Marriott, that was overlooked too!...

From the moment I arrive at the Excelsior the staff and hotel exude an aura that makes me feel welcome, relaxed and happy to be back in Rome... The staff are attentive and friendly, the rooms are comfortable, and I feel very relaxed when I am here... My day always gets off to a great start when I receive a warm "good morning" greeting from the staff at the restaurant when I arrive for breakfast... The Excelsior feels like my home away from home, and when home is 5,000 miles away that is important...

    Didn’t feel really welcome by the hotel once we stepped out of the taxi as no staff noticed us and offered to help us with the luggage in the first place... Concierge staff could be more responsive and helpful as we wanted to leave our luggage behind while waiting for the room, it took us at least 5 minutes just to wait for someone to return to the concierge desk and give us a ticket... At other hotels, I would just get the ticket straight away... Minimal amenities available in the room either, couldn’t find any drinking glass, kettle, tea bags or coffee machine (though the hotel offer one drink, like coffee, to ‘energise’ you per person per day)...

    I booked this hotel almost a year in advance for the pre-cruise portion of our vacation... All this to explain that the front desk staff really went out of their way to hold our room, despite us being two days late checking in due to flight delays and missed connections... Not only that, but they had a room ready for us when we arrived Sunday morning!... The hotel is absolutely beautiful, like staying in a museum... Our room was better than we had hoped, very extravagant, nicely appointed, and well air-conditioned... The staff was amazing, warm, friendly, professional, and truly impressive... They all made our stay quite special and very memorable... Each of them seemed to go out of their way to say hello and to ensure we were having a pleasant stay... The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful and felt very safe... Most of the major sites were within walking distance (from 15 minutes to 30 minutes), so we loved the location... The entire waitstaff went out of their way to make sure everyone was happy and attended to their needs with smiles on their faces... We truly felt spoiled, in the best possible way... Thanks to all who made our stay so special, we definitely appreciated it!...

    The hotel is in a great location, central to many of the historical areas however the room ( which was an upgraded room) was in desperate need of an update, shower head was broken, very little water pressure and hard to adjust the temp either very hot or very cold... If you like to exercise, they do have a facility but not in great shape, old machines etc...

I was very depressed and unwell, and decided to visit Rome by myself and stayed at the most beautiful hotel, The Westin Excelsior Rome for five days. I had the most rewarding and unbelievable experience. The General Manager, Mr. Marc Lannoy and his staff went beyond the call of duty to make my stay pleasant and comfortable. The food and their service were excellent. I appreciated their turn down service and the amenities in the room were top of the line. The comfortable bed, pillows and beautiful white bed linens made it more SPECAIL. I am happy to highly recommend even to go by yourself. Thanks to the management and the wonderful staff that made it possible. And of course, there is no place like Rome.

The Westin Hotel is in a great location (walking distance to ALL landmarks) and away from the chaos of the tourists. Most importantly, the entire staff is absolutely amazing. Very accommodating and always greeted with a gracious greeting and smile. When traveling, it's the people that make such a big difference and impact your entire stay. Thanks to the Westin staff, my Roma getaway was absolutely great !

Two nights pre cruise, hotel chosen by the cruise line as part of our package. Our first floor"grand" room overlooked an internal area of the hotel with views of the other room windows and all the vents/aircon units etc. Don't care about the view, but omg, the room absolutely reeked of an overwhelming mould/musty smell, like it had not been opened to fresh air in years and aircon condensation has seeped into the carpets and walls. We awoke feeling unwell, with completely blocked noses and couldn't wait to get out of the room for fresh air, dreading going back in at night. The room was very large yet the bathroom was tiny. Good water pressure in the shower, but the old shower head sprayed in all directions. No minibar provided, nor a minibar fridge in the room. One English channel on TV only, BBC news. Sought dining and activity advice from the concierge team on two occasions, each time they seemed completely disinterested in assisting us and we received bare minimum help. The cruise guest breakfast area in the basement was god awful, so 1980's and stuffy. We were charged around EUR12.00 for a small 330ml bottle of coke from the ORVM bar which is beyond ludicrous. Location is walkable to main sites if you enjoy walking a lot, but for the huge per night dollars they charge, there are much better options to be had.

Spent our 4 nights in Rome at the Westin Excelsior. Check in went smoothly and early at 1pm. We stayed in a king street view room and it was spacious, the bathroom was great with separate tub and shower. It also had a bidet. A couple of chairs and a small table gave us somewhere to sit other than the bed which was nice. A mini fridge was stocked with the mini bar essential beverages and snacks. The TV was an older model flat panel, but on vacation we don’t watch much TV anyways. It had two English speaking channels (CNN and Cartoon Network). The bed was comfortable and room service left new bottled water daily. I would definitely recommend this property.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and loved it. Our check-in experience was professional and expedient. The concierge was always helpful and the taxi guy was our new best friend--always able to get us a taxi when we needed one. The room was beautiful and old-world charm. The bathroom was gorgeous and spacious and the bedding was fantastic--so comfy! They provided water in the room which was very appreciated. And finally, the breakfast buffet and the service in the restaurant was on point. We really loved our stay at the Westin Excelsior. 10/10 recommend

We had a long fantastic stay at the Excelsior in October 2023. The hotel is over a 100 years old and beautiful - but what truly makes it exemplary are the staff and service. We stayed in 2 suites with our elderly parents and felt very taken care of - room service and housekeeping were top notch and quick, in-room dining was great quality, breakfast was varied and delicious, concierge and front desk were accommodating, as were all the gentlemen at the front door who always helped with my mother's wheelchair. The hotel area is lovely - not too crowded but still centrally located and made for a fantastic place to explore Rome. We'll definitely be staying again.

The Westin Excelsior prevails as a classic hotel in the heart of Rome, easily accessible to the city's diverse vitality, particularly by walking. The hotel, staff, services and location are excellent. The extraordinary assistance by the concierge desk facilitated reservations for optimal dining, museum entry, transportation and airport transfers. Breakfasts appealed to diverse palates, underscored by superb capuccino and considerate attention to detail including options for fresh vegetable juicing by guests, an omelet chef, and conscientious service. It is obvious that the hotel staff is exceptionally trained for personalized service. They appear to be authentically and intuitively focused on optimizing the guest experience. The hotel provides an ironing room for guest use, available at all times. Our room showed signs of wear but was well-attended by the housekeeping service; we suggest that an update would improve the overall experience, which we rank as 9 out of a possible 10. We will definitely return to the Westin Excelsior and recommend it to our family and friends.
