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.

Exceptional
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.

Fabulous
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.

Home Away from Home. Great Location. Excellent Food and Drinks. Wonderful Staff.
This is the second time that we have used this amazing boutique hotel as our “hub” while traveling across Italy. It is ideally located - just a few minutes from Spanish Steps and Trevor Fountain, Convenient to walk to all designer stores during the day, and head back for some rest, before going out for dinner. The Michelin Star restaurant is amazing. But we found the rooftop bar and restaurant even more spectacular - great food, great views of at least 11 Duomos, and great service. Especially want to thank the staff for their “service with a smile” - Natalya and Jubair for all the arrangements. Alessio and Julio for the amazing drinks and food, and Ronaldo the bell man for his helpfulness. Thank You. We will be back.
Some rooms may need a bit of an update.

Perfect would return tomorrow!!
The welcome was second to none and that feeling just continued. The rooftop terrace, where we enjoyed breakfast, cocktails and dinner was wonderful. The conseirge gave us excellent restaurant recommendations that matched our needs perfectly. Honestly, having travelled for many years, it was one of my favourites.

Rocco Forte Hotel de Russie, Rome
CN Traveler + 1 more“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.
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.”
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.
Hotel Navona, Rome
CNN“Location is really the key to this unpretentious establishment. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Campo de’ Fiori and the Pantheon and Hotel Navona is on one of the quieter streets.”
