Good location, quality, great hospitality♥️
We stayed for our honeymoon. They welcomed us to our room with a bottle of Prosecco and chocolate covered strawberries♥️ The hotel staff were amazing. Very helpful and kind 24/7
Hotel is also close to many nice and popular destinations.
Another perk of the hotel is they host a 2 Michelin starred restaurant! We recommend the hotel 100/100!
Nothing it was amazing♥️

great hotel in the center of Rome
It was not easy to find a good hotel with parking in the center of Rome, which would be located next to green areas where you can walk your dog. I am very glad that in the end we found such a hotel. Everything was at a good level. Valet Parking, responsive staff, comfortable beds, compliments from the hotel. Excellent location.
I would like to be able to get a more varied and substantial breakfast for the price that the hotel asks. As a result, we went to the hotel for breakfast only once.

The personnel of the hotel was so attentive. Flavio greeted us and helped with all kinds of advice. The welcome Prosecco was very delicious. We got upgraded and stayed at a Suite. Very spacious, with two bathrooms, with a large changing room. Unfortunately the roof bar was closed, we couldn’t enjoy the panoramic view. Anyway, There are lots of nice restaurants in the area, or you can take a taxi to Trastevere with all it’s cosy places.
The bed was nice and large but a bit too hard for us.

The hotel is in an old style building in a quiet side street close to the centre of Old Rome.
If visiting for the sights most of what you need or may want to see is within a 5 to 30 minute stroll through the wonderful centre.
We had a suite, close to the rooftop terraced bar/ restaurant on the top floor, which was spacious and comfortable with a large marble bathroom.
There was some background noise from the restaurant late on Saturday night but not intrusive.
The staff were very helpful overall, and we were made to feel welcome.
When asked, we mentioned the noise on Saturday, and they were upset we hadn't mentioned at the time which they would have rectified, so fair enough.
Ate in the rooftop restaurant on the first night. Superb food, great service, and what a location.
Like most quality capital city central hotels, anywhere in Europe it's not cheap but it met expectations, and we would stay again.
Newly appointed Michelin Star downstairs restaurant closed Sunday Monday Tuesday not just Sunday as mentioned on their site.

Boutique Hotel Campo de’ Fiori, Rome
CNN + 1 more“The best thing about this hotel is its private rooftop terrace, with a 360-degree city view so good that people sit up there even on cold winter evenings. This homey, four-star pad has comfortable baroque-style rooms with expensive drapes, wooden beams and sparkling chandeliers.”
Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria Resort, Rome
CN Traveler + 1 more“Arriving at the Cavalieri feels a bit like stepping into Rome’s bygone era, a time of endless manicured gardens, cheery butlers, and azure swimming pools where cocktails can be taken at any time of the day, darling.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s Gold List in 2020.
Hostel The Yellow, Rome
Telegraph“Rome’s premier party hostel is ideal for travellers in their 20s looking for a comfortable bed and an interactive social scene. It has creative and artsy vibe, and a rooftop terrace and small garden hang-out for film screenings during the summer months.”
Hotel Lunetta, Rome
CNN“This four-star hotel near Campo de’ Fiori will wow you with its ultra-modern black-and-white marble interiors and 30 recently refurbished rooms, but it’s a surprise in the basement that’ll have you posting on Facebook — the original Roman-era walls of the Theater of Pompey.”
