Hotel Barberini  

The location was excellent for the short stay (3 days) we had before heading to the port for a cruise. Easy walking access to some of the main tourist attractions - Spanish Steps, Parthenon, Piazza Navona, etc. - as well as shopping areas like Via del Corso. It was also easy for us to hire a scooter from a nearby shop just off Piazza Barberini (Barberini Scooters for Rent) and the taxi fare to Termini station was very reasonable. Although the rooms are not overly large, the one we had on the 3rd floor was cosy enough for my wife and I and perfect for resting after a day of wandering, and we were never bothered by any excessive noise from adjacent rooms or the street (our room overlooked an internal courtyard). Breakfast was continental style with great coffee, and it was served on a rooftop terrace which gave you a lovely panorama over Rome...one of the highlights of our stay at the hotel.

We had a good price for the first 2 days of our stay but the 3rd day was quite high (most likely due to peak time in late August). When averaged out it wasn't too bad and a reasonable trade-off for the great location. Couldn't get the bar fridge to get very cold to chill our beers, and the electricity supply wasn't sufficient to power my wife's hair dryer. Word of warning if you intend using the metro to make your way to the hotel - in addition to navigating stairs through the metro stations, it's an uphill gradient on cobblestone streets once you exit from Barberini station so it's an effort if you've got lots and/or heavy luggage...suggest splashing out and getting a taxi :)

The location is excellent, near the main attractions of Rome, the staff is very helpful and polite and the breakfast was great.

The room was a little bit too small.

The location is excelent. The hotel is very close to every single poi and to the Metro.

The size of the room, very very small.

the restaurant on the top floor with wonderful view of Rome. Room size and bathroom size is very good. Usually Roman hotels have smaller sizes of rooms.

The room was very clean, not too small, staff were friendly and smiley, breakfast plentiful, Metro near by and location for sight such as the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps good.

Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Breakfast bar was not replenished when the food run out.

Location

Rooms tiny, staff unhappy

Excellent location. Friendly and smiling staff particularly the breakfast crew. Breathtaking view from the terrace where breakfast is served. Will definately return to this hotel.

extremely friendly staff, clean and good location. Central to key points of interest.

The bed was extremely uncomfortable.

Great Location - Close to the subway station. The rooms were clean but very small. The breakfast room is the highlight with fantastic views of the city.

Rooms could have been slightly bigger for the price (we stayed in a double room)

The first night we were placed in an other hotel due to an overbooking. We didnt have any compensation at all although at arrival we were promised the first night for free. This is very indecent and unproffessional.

Location. Conveniently located near Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.

Most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept in. Bed was extremely hard with a very flat pillow. Also, the bathrooms when cleaned only included a bath mat once out of three days and only one robe included for two people.

Lobby was attractive and they had an excellent breakfast as well as helpful staff.
