Check Rates Hotels in Rome

Comments and Advice from our Guests:

Advice for Hotels:
1) I am a big fan of Hotel Inghilterra, it is a block from the Spanish steps (below them) and really couldn’t ask for a better location. Additionally I suggest the Eden, the Raphael, and the incredible Hassler. Regardless you should make sure you get a drink at the Eden’s rooftop bar for amongst the most stunning views of the city you could ask for.

2) I stayed at the Aldrovandi few years back and although it is quite nice it is a bit out of the way, behind the Borghese park… My favourite hotel is Hotel de Russie and I would request a garden view with the little balcony… their breakfast is wonderful!

3) I agree Hotel Inghilterra is the best if you can get one of the redone rooms.
I really liked the Hotel Inghilterra, Great central location near Spanish Steps…
Also for me: The charming Hotel d’Inghilterra a via Bocca di leone.

4) Hotel Eden, amazing view from the rooftop.

5) If you wont to live a Dolce Vita week-end, go to the Excelsior Hotel in Via Veneto.

Comments and Advice from our Guests:

1) I was there in October 2009. It is a really nice hotel based on a hill with a beautiful view on Rome.

Check-in was very professional and friendly.

I really recommend to book executive category cause you got many extras which you have to pay extra when you don’t. I stayed in the executive area on the 7th floor. Staff in the lounge was very competent and friendly. When you book executive you got free lounge access.

In the lounge they serve delicious snacks whole day and you got free alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. You can also get your breakfast there, for example on one of the beautiful balcony with an amazing view on rome. There are also 2 outdoor pools inside a beautiful garden and one indoor pool. As executive guest you got also free access to the great wellness area. If you book a normal category, wellness area and lounge access cost extra but it’s really worth the money. There is also a free shuttle bus to the center of rome (every hour). Will definitely come back there.

Comments and Tips from our Guests:

Rome:
Hotel Barberini is a small boutique hotel in the center of Rome. I stayed there a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was quite lovely, I wouldn’t call it inexpensive but it was not prohibitively pricey either. Helpful staff and nice breakfast…

In Rome try with the Mozart Hotel or Stendhal Hotel…if you like you can go the the forum (oldstyle but with a beatiful view over Fori Romani and a wonderful terrace for having breakfast). In London try with the Hoxton Hotel (new Oxford Street, well connected by tube).

London:
In Piccadilly you have with a good quality/price relation at the Thistle Piccadilly Hotel, however this is a very noisy area….I recomend you to choose a Hotel near a train station that takes you to the airport. I already tried for instance the Rubens at the Palace hotel in front of the Victoria Train Station that takes you to Gatwick airport in 30mins…it’s higly recomendable!!

In London near Piccadilly things will be either very pricy or very touristy. (Sorry, Francisco, but Thistle or Le Meridien would be like staying at Times Square!) I recommend the Sofitel or Park Lane Hotel – especially if you are going on business. Brown’s is a nice boutique hotel in the area, too. Otherwise, check Splendia.com for deals on boutique/SLH options. Have fun! Irina. PS: I am going to Rome as well in a couple of weeks and booked three hotels (to choose from) that I found good deals on through hotels.com – Eden, Empire Palace, and the Sofitel.

1) Lovely location off Piazza del Poppolo, garden great for chilling out and sipping prosecco. Spa is also open to non-residents.

2) Excellent Hotel, still. The mngr is not anymore Mr. Elsner but, thanks G., an intelligent and professional Mrs. Elena Bruno. Now the service is very good again, as it was in the very first years. Superbe gardens, worth even just a drink or a tea in. also the Spa is a little oasis in the crowd of the centre.

3) Best Hotel in Rome, good service, good everything and wonderful location.

4) Great Hotel + friendly and excellent service. Great location. The rooms are stunning.

5) Magnifique!

6) Already decadent and overstated but I guess you also come to Rome for that feeling.

7) Great and romantic !

8) The most elegant hotel in Rome, if you like understated luxury. Unfortunately the rooms are not as good as the bar or the beautiful garden.

9) Very nice place !

10) Magnificent building…so much so that they really don’t bother much about the service! Overpriced even by Roman standards!

11) I don’t agree, overprized, disappointing spa, bar closes at 1.00 pm, unfriendly staff – just the breakfast and the restaurant in the garden is fantastic

12) Mr. Elsner ( the manager ) is doing a great great job.

Casina Valadier for example, situated in the heart of Villa Borghese (photo above). Salotto 42, Pietra Square 42, for aperitif and/or Hotel de Russie (9, babuino street). Very amazing one.

As Restaurant: La Fischetteria, Croce Street
Wine Bar: Antica Vineria, in Croce street

You should try to go to la casina Valadier – in the heart of Villa Borghese - on a Friday night for their signature “aperitivo”, basically a buffet dinner with drinks. The Salotto 42 is pretty good too and laid back, basically every night, and particularly on Thursday and Saturday.

Via della Croce is just off Piazza di Spagna and a parallel street to Via Condotti, is a good option for both lunch and dinner.
La Fiaschetteria da Cesaretto is actually a very “cute” place and the food is good too; the antica Vineria can be an option for an evening drink. As can be a casual drink in Campo De’ Fiori.

The bar at the Hotel the Russie is very chic, it’s an outside garden and is very quite despite being in the buzzing centre: nearby to dine you have a few options. One is il Bolognese, that would qualify, along with i Due Ladroni [the two thieves... in Piazza Nicosia] as chic dining venues as per your initial post…

September is a strange part of the year: the lifestyle is more shaped on the summer than on the “normality” of the city life so you want to check “what’s up” while here.

La Antica Enoteca on via della Croce is definitely not classy.
Salotto 42 is nice but so small!

Anything in the center of Rome will ruin your shoes and you stomach I would go to place in Parioli, where the food is better or if you want real genuine Roman food put your jeans on and go to the suburbe. That is where all the new restaurants are with the new and upcoming chefs.

Personally, I always stay at Hotel Eden, few minutes from Trinità de’ Monti and Villa Borghese. It is much more than a luxury hotel, it is the “home”

The best one is DE RUSSIE in Via del Babbuino, you have every things by your hotel.

I would have a look at Hotel Inghilterra. It is right in the center below the Spanish steps so you do not have to spend a lot of time walking up the hill!. Just make sure you get one of the new rooms. I have seen them and they are beautiful.

I did not enjoy Hotel de Russie last time I was in Rome and I generally like Rocco Forte hotels.

Stay in any hotel near Via Veneto…. its a beatiful street, and its walking distance from the Fontana di Trevi, it has wonderful restaurants and bars, and its also very close to the Piazza di Spagna, where most of the shooping is.

Comment and Reviews:

Went there yesterday with my girlfriend. Surprised the hell out of her. Fantastic location, fantastic service, good food.

Lovely and romantic place…everything is perfect.

Tout c’est genial!

Tête-à-tête is the only place in Rome where all your desires can come true. You only need to ask! It’s not just a restaurant, it’s much more…The place is amazing, the food is divine, the atmosphere is incomparable: un piccolo angolo di paradiso.

Best place whatsoever for a custom made romantic dinner…

Thank you so much…the place was amazing and it was long time that I didnt eat a good food like your resturant…say hello to everyone….

The most romantic place where i’ve ever been… thank you Alexandra, everythink was absolutly perfect…
