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.
Rome:
Please find some hotels in Rome, all of them are right in the heart of the city walking distance to the major shopping areas and tourist sites.
Hotel Fontana (3 stelle)
Faces Fontanta di Trevi which is one of the most astonishing and charming monument of Rome.
Hotel Valdier
Very central walking distance from all the major tourist attractions
Hotel Manfredi
Very close to Piazza di Spagna, really the heart of Rome.
Hotel Locarno
Nice Hotel, few steps from Piazza del Popolo, My favourite one!!
London:
Piccadilly is going to be very noisy and it will be full of tourists. Definitely, try to find any hotel around Park Lane, Green Park or Mayfair. The intercontinental has been just renewed, try to find any offer there
Enjoy your time in London
Rome:
About Rome you can go to Ludovisi Palace hotel ( Via veneto area) or Hotel San carlo which is right in the center close to Via Babbuino and Via Condotti. Another one very nice close to Via veneto that I strongly reccomand is Leon’s Place, which is so nice it’s the best and a double room is 198 euro, but it worth it.
Any other tip just ask me I’ll be glad to aswer to you about Rome’s tips. I use to go there every week end ,because my husband is from Rome, so I know it like my city
