Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria Resort, Rome
Expert reviews
“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.
“Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel best exemplifies the dual nature of the Eternal City’s personality — decadent dolce vita and a magnetic sense of history. Its Monte Mario location literally sets it apart from the rest of the city, in a lush and green 15-acre park with panoramic views of Rome and Vatican City, making it a great luxury hideout.”

5* Hotel
I loved it all. It was our anniversary and I wanted to surprise my wifey with a red roses and the Hotel help me so with the most georgeus roses I’ve ever seen, they added complimentary some other things. The outside pool is an olimpyc pool, rooms are specious and cosy, I have to praise the cleaning lady for our 564 room, silent, smiling, neat. Uliveto restaurant is excellent. Staff is excellent. On top of everything I met Mr.Alessandro Borghi in front of Hotel, great great person.

Beautiful property for the money I would say somewhere closer to downtown we spent several hundred euro in taxis. Also I
Very clean, beautiful hotel loved the steam room. Beds were comfortable bathrooms were lovely. Exceptional staff very friendly.
Prices are outrageous at the bar and for rim service. I understand up charging, but it was a bit excessive. Also, the location is terrible €25 every time we went in town each way.

We enjoyed our brief stay and hope to return it was only overnight after a cruise and before we flew home
Very clean and attractively furnished. Fabulous food.. a nice breakfast.. friendly waiters.
Nit really a reflection of the hotel in itself but some of the guests were rude and unpleasant observing how staff were spoken to.

Fantastic hotel with beautiful communal areas.
The bar area is beautiful and the balcony has lovely views over the pool and garden. Pablo on reception was an absolute delight and a credit to the hotel.
We were a little disappointed with our meal in Ulivetto. The hotel was a little further out than we anticipated and it was around 10/15 minutes to central parts of Rome. That being said there was also a taxi available.

Already trying to organise a trip to include this hotel in our travels.
Our entire stay went very well. This is a fantastic hotel in a great location. The staff were brilliant. We had easy access to the city either by cab or using the courtesy bus provided by the hotel.
All was great.

The hotel was clean and tidy, a bit distant from the center of the city but quiet with a very beautiful view overlooking the whole city. When you arrive at the hotel, there is no one to greet you at the hotel entrance and guide you where to turn until you don't search for yourself. But at the Guest relations vip desk they welcomed me nicely at the check in and during my whole stay and there was a girl from the guest relation vip desk who always smiles, cared and called to check if everything was okay when I asked her something about a problem in the room. She gave a personal, caring and concerned attitude. Her name is Carla. The bar staff were also excellent and kind and quick service Upon leaving, the hotel was very busy, and I had to go to the front desk and I was very disappointed with the different attitude than it was at the guest relations vip desk, which is not suitable for a customer who tooks a luxury suite. Also regarding the parking, I think that those who take a suite should have the parking includ.ed and not wait for the car when ask to take it. In the end, it was an amazing experience Sincerely .

They had confirmed in advance the baby crib, however it was not in the room when we arrived very late in the evening. Breakfast ok but not 5 star quality vs. 5 star hotels in general.

Luxury in Rome
The service was exceptional, the rooms spacious and the beds extremely comfortable. The bathrooms were large and clean, and the view from the balcony was beautiful. I look forward to staying here again.
I ordered a steak medium rare. I forgot that medium rare in Italy is much rarer than medium rare in the US. I'll remember next time.

Wonderful way to see Rome. In the hustle and bustle all day with great relaxation in the evening.
Service was excellent. City view rooms have outstanding views of the whole of Rome. Complementary bus service was an added plus. Spa and fitness were great.
Outside pool hours were too limited.

Very relaxing and lovely atmosphere
Breakfast was extremely good. Lots of variety and choice with lovely friendly waiters and waitresses
The room decor was in need of updating. The original features were still in very good order and condition as the hotel was done to a very high standard. However, the soft furnishings were definitely in need of replacing in the bedroom

My go to hotel in Rome
Amazing rooms, so spacious and comfortable, wonderful views and grounds. Staff were very friendly and accommodating (especially Paolo from the front desk, and Simone & Anna from the concierge.
Housekeeping needs some improvement. There were several instances were a complaint had to be made to get certain things done. Lobby restaurant food was sub par for my liking, considering this is a Waldorf Astoria I expected much better.
