Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The location is perfect if you need to take the bus/subway to various attractions.
My room had a balcony (paid extra) and I was glad because the room was quite small with solid old furniture. Actually felt like you were in Italy, which I rarely do in modern hotels. The shower and toilet room was modern and fresh.
The breakfast was good and had everything I could wish for. The coffee in the machines, on the other hand, was quite weak and there my tip is to order espresso/cappuccino from the staff who then make it in a real espresso machine.

My wife and I used the Impero for a home base in Rome for four days in two different stints. I honestly don't understand some of the negative reviews, to the point where I wonder if some of them are fake. The hotel is clean, efficient, and charming, and the staff we interacted with were all very helpful and friendly.
Rooms: Small, but clean. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning worked fine. The showers had plenty of hot water and water pressure.
Staff: Very friendly and helpful.
Location: Just a few minutes walk from the Roma Termini, and within walking distance to most of the main attractions including the Coliseum, Pantheon, Forum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, etc. Vatican City is about an hour or so by foot, but we walked it and enjoyed a stroll through several cool Roman neighbourhoods. The area around the hotel is fine too. In fact, we found the immediate area bustling and full of energy. We never ever felt unsafe or nervous.
Breakfast: Fine. The coffee machines make good coffee and the spread of pastries, yogurt, fruit, cold meats, etc. were all tasty. I don't know what people are expecting from a European breakfast, but it suited us just fine. Breakfast room staff were always very friendly.
I think the Impero is a great and reasonably priced place to stay in Rome. Friendly staff, clean rooms, easy access to all of the major attractions. We would definitely stay there again.

Hotel in a strategic position, near the Railway Station, the metro stops (Termini and Repubblica) and a stone's throw from the Colosseum. Breakfast is plentiful and varied, although set more on savory than sweet, perhaps for purely international customers. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and quite large. The staff is friendly and helpful. If I return to Rome I would definitely return to this hotel. Absolutely Recommendation.

Great location, well-preserved rooms with a huge history, you live like in a museum, professional and well-trained stuff which is ready to help their guests. The only wish is to make breakfast more diverse. Highly recommended! Hope to return here soon!

I work in the tourism and hospitality industry, and the most important detail here is the service and experience the tourist can have anywhere. It was my first time in Rome, Italy, and I came with family members, a total of 7. We entered the hotel, and my sister asked the person in the reception area if they had available rooms. Well, my sister said, "Good afternoon," the woman in the reception area started to say no, even though my sister had not completed a sentence. I told the woman I had scrolled the internet and saw available rooms. The woman continued saying they were fully booked but with a terrible attitude. I asked her if she knew if the other hotel beside them had room availability, and she told me that the other hotel was small and unavailable. It is okay if she wants to sell her hotel, but do not lie; tell me you need to review it with them. So, as I am a curious person, I went to the other hotel that is not related to the first one. The woman at the reception was amazing to us. She found room for us, and the rooms were clean and pretty. I asked her about an electronics store because I had lost my mobile charger, and she gave me one charger to use during my stay. That is the difference between a bad and a good experience.

I stayed 5 night there with my wife. The location is very good, you are 15 minutes away from most points of interest. They clean the room daily BUT still, there are some spots in the room that they are TOO dirty, like under the desk and under the bed.
The most important problem we faced was with the power sockets in the room, half of them did not work, but those that did work offered VERY slow charging of devices. Unacceptable for such an expensive room. Because of that we were running out of battery on our mobiles within the day.
The wall is covered with a very old fabric wallpaper, from which hang whole balls of dust. If you hit it, you see the dust flying.
Breakfast is okay if you like sweets. There are no salty choices, no omelets, nothing. I have seen much better breakfasts in cheaper hotels. We decided to pay and eat at other places.
I'm not recommending it and i will not stay there again.

Front desk attendants were very friendly and did a great job of remembering who we were, our room number, etc. They were quick to offer help, called us a cab a number of times, and give recommendations.
Room was very nice. Bed was comfortable and sheets were soft. Room was quiet for sleeping. Walls were a bit thin as we could hear the family next door laughing with their children. Balcony door did not latch closed so we had to prop a backpack against it. Bathroom was nice size. The hot water stopped working our first morning but the hotel staff was quick to address it as soon as we reached out. Shower was small and toilet seat was not connected well so it slid around when in use. Breakfast was delicious and had a large selection of items. Coffee was ok and coffee machines were not always accurate in what we selected.
Would definitely stay again.

The Impero hotel in Rome is amazing. Whilst it isn’t the most glamorous or modern, the location is perfect for getting around the city. A short walk from the Metro, and all major sites can be walked to easily within 20-30 mins depending on how fast you walk. The staff are incredibly friendly and very helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was a super selection of fruits, breads, cheeses and much more. The roof terrace is very relaxing to chill out and relax in. The hotel has a mini-market across the street, lots of restaurants and other shops nearby as well, the perfect place to base yourself in Rome.

I stayed here for 4 nights on my first time travelling to Rome, the hotel staff were always pleasant and polite, happy to help with anything. Breakfast was lovely and in the continental fashion. The rooms were compact yet comfy, I would recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent place to go forth and explore Rome, as the hotel is very centrally located next to the train station.

I really wanted to like this hotel but after visiting 6 other hotels in Europe this is the only one that missed the mark. The hotel itself is not in the best area but is only a 20 minute walk from land marks. The hotel reception area is nice but the staff was not very friendly and looked annoyed any time we asked a question. The rest of the hotel has an unpleasent oder. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and the room was dingy and dusty. The worst of all was how hot they were. I did not expect AC as most of Europe doesn’t have it but no fans or anything. We decided to open a window as it was impossible to sleep only to be attacked by mosquitoes. While I understand mosquitoes happen, many other areas in Rome have spayed to reduce the problem.

Shuttles from ciampino airport are frequent during the day and the most effective way to reach the city center. From Fiumicino you can catch the train to Roma Tiburtina OR Roma Termini - I'm not sure which stop is closest to the hotel. You'll need to check the metro system and see hoe far the closest metro station is positioned. If I'm not mistaken there should be one in the immediate vicinity
There are more places to choose from in the Rome area.
