Rocco Forte Hotel de Russie, Rome
More photosExpert reviews
“The 120-room hotel just off Piazza del Popolo mixes Art Deco–tinged nods to Rome’s classical past with jazzy homages to Picasso and ballet legend Nijinsky, who stayed here in its previous incarnation.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2020 Gold List.
“Once the go-to spot for international luminaries such as Pablo Picasso, composer Igor Stravinsky and poet Jean Cocteau, the early 19th century de Russie unveiled a new look in 2000 that uprooted the Eternal City’s traditional atmosphere with a chic, contemporary vibe and quickly propelled the de Russie to the top of Rome’s luxury hotel scene.”

Deeply disappointing experience as the property service and style had plummeted.
The location of the property is nice and central. Davide in the bar offered the kindest service. Check in was excellent and we were very grateful for an upgrade of our room.
The show tunes being sung in the bar, felt like a cruise ship and so inappropriate for Italy. They were embarrassing.
The amount of instagramers throughout the property, it really took away from what use to be a chic, elegant experience. It was like a property desperate for validation at the mercy of influencers.
It was so intrusive having to be constantly bombarded by influencers doing photo shoots at all times of the day. It really impacted the ambience.
The head person in the breakfast room, an elderly gentlemen with glasses was incredibly rude and judgemental. That whole experience was the worst we have ever encountered.
This is the 6th time we’ve stayed at this property but will be our last as it has gone from being a beautiful, elegant Italian experience that felt like a home to a transactional chain hotel house desperately trying to leverage influencer endorsement. Very disappointing and such a shame as it use to be such a magnificently, stylish property.

Not worth the price by far.
The room was dark and incredibly noisy. There was no complementary water, flowers, fruit basket. The booking said there would be a balcony, there was none. The receptionist said I was upgraded to a deluxe room but that was the room I had booked.

“best hotel in Rome” can do better!
Overall a beautiful place in the great location, nice garden and very friendly staff. Excellent service.
sometimes bad smell comes out of the air condition. the food is not good, sad 4 star breakfast and in-room dining is also far from good, especially Italian dishes. prices are high, but the quality is not there.

Generator Hostel, Rome
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Hostelling just got a whole lot smarter in Rome thanks to this designer hostel which, quite frankly, is more uber-cool hotel in mood – 72% of the 174 beds here languish in bright white private rooms with sharp bathrooms, and dorms max out at four beds.”
The Inn At The Roman Forum, Rome
Frommers + 1 more“The name doesn’t lie. This small hotel is tucked down a medieval lane, on the edge of Monti and with the forums of several Roman emperors as neighbors. Its midsized rooms are sumptuously decorated.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Rome.
G-Rough Hotel, Rome
New York Times + 1 more“Like a Fellini film, the G-Rough deftly balances the refined and the rugged, creating a sophisticated hotel with both a sense of place and a sense of style.”
Guesthouse Brunetti Suite, Rome
CNN“This family-run guest house is a short walk from Piazza del Popolo. Brunetti Suite has seven rooms on two floors — the double rooms aren’t huge, but they’re big enough and well appointed.”

The service was weak and attitude towards Americans disappointing
