Giulio Cesare  

Nothing much. The room was spacious with light and high ceilings, but the single glazing made the street facing room very noisy at night. The breakfast was average, but acceptable

A total disaster with the reservations and room management staff, originally booked for two nights with booking.com, but on a none refundable basis. When I attempted to extend the stay by a further night, expecting to go though booking.com, the hotel itself attempted to charge the room rate directly to the credit card given to booking.com which was refused by my bank. A long story ensured of shocking hotel management and total ignorance of the word hospitality, with the final result that the third night would be charged 30% more than the first two, which I declined. The whole stay was ruined before we arrived, but could not cancel owing to the none refundable, the front office person was nice enough at check in, but we no longer wanted to be there, we had to move hotels as a result, and the hotel itself proved to be a loser anyway as a product, and even its location was not as expected.

The place is a jewel. Beautiful building and public areas, including a wonderful garden area, comfortable and good-sized rooms, helpful and courteous staff, great location, great breakfast and reasonably priced. A superb value. A "10".

I liked how close we were to the major sights. I liked the breakfast buffet thought we missed one day and were not compensated. The room was clean though small.

I didn't like that we could not use any air-conditioning and with the windows open, the noise was just too much to allow us to sleep. The restaurant they recommended to us treated us poorly, but I realize that isn't the hotel's fault.

Beautiful upscale hotel with professional and helpful staff. Our 5 year old loved the bunk beds in the family room.

It is a 10-20 minute walk to the Vatican area.

It was good quality without being pretentious. The breakfast room was light and beautifully clean. Being between the old city and the Vatican it was in a central position near the metro but quiet. Very nice for walks along the river. probably not for those who don't like walking or stairs.

Excellent value - superb hospitality; the included breakfast was excellent and the cafe head waiter was the ideal host - from central casting (think Fellini). 10 minute walk to the Piazza del Popolo and 20 mins to St. Peter's Square. Would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.

Old style, romantic feeling, excellent breakfast!!

Very hot in the room, even when the heating was switched off. With open windows very loud noises from the street. Small room. No free internet.

Splendid boutique hotel where you are made to feel truly like a guest and not just like another visitor. The staff is very courteous and knowledgeable and the breakfast is incredibly good. This hotel is for the discerning traveler, not for backpackers looking for a cheap stay. It offers outstanding value for the money.

Charming older hotel decorated nicely. Had room overlooking main street but when windows closed could not hear traffic noise. However, due to time of year they turn off all air conditioning. Room could be stuffy and only way to get relief was to leave window open which met traffic noise. If they had at least a fan it would have been great. In evening when less traffic we opened window to get fresh air. Not as much noise. Breakfast selection was great. Food was great and breakfast dining room was very nice. Good service also.

Not having ventilation in room due to time of year they turn off air conditioning. Would have been fine if we had a room not overlooking main street and were able to keep window open.

Location is good. You can walk practically to all main sites and attractions. The area is quiet. Staff is very nice and attentive.

This is not an advisable hotel for traveling with 2 kids on holidays. Rooms (and bathrooms) are very small, there is no real family room (as we booked and expected), just a normal room for 1-2 people max, thus staying for family of 4 in such room is tough. Room and bathroom in particular look shabby. There is nothing to do at the hotel, even tv is limited, no cable tv. Hotel is definitely for business or shopping trips, not for holiday, it is not expected that you would spend much time in the hotel. Even room-service is not to be used: 6 euro surcharge for ordering in. There are no restaurants immediately near by, although if you would walk for about 15 min you would find a street with some: check at the front desk, or on the map provided in the hotel.

Staff very helpful, relaxed atmosphere

cracked toilet seat, no extractor in bathroom

From the moment we arrived, I knew we made the right choice of hotels. It is truly a beautiful hotel, the architecture is Italian with marble floors, stairs and columns. Gorgeous stained glass windows, antiques, a lovely outdoor patio with shade trees and flowers. Breakfast buffet every morning was plentiful and tasty, and best of all included with room rate. The staff were friendly and helpful. The owner, a delightful man, even made it a point to greet us and encourage to ask for anything we needed. I would definetely stay there again and encourage others to as well!

Breakfast excellent for italy and location is good for all areas.
