“wonderful break”

The hotel Rivoli may not be the newest hotel in Rome but it was clean the staff were all very friendly the breakfast was more then we expected there was even eggs and scrambled egg. The hotel was not very far from all the attractions we chose to get a cab to the bus terminus to pick up the hop on hop off bus which cost just 8 euros. we would definately stay there again and believe it or not we even sat next to quenton tarantino in an outside table at a restuarant and he spoke to us first made our holiday top that !!!!!

“Excellent Base for a Holiday.”

My wife and I were delighted with this hotel. We travel to Rome every year and have had varied hotel experiences. This was the best of its kind. Attractively furnished and comfortable with adequately sized room and bathrooms all of which have balconies. Good breakfast including scrambled egg and bacon, free internet, nice bar and friendly staff. Those who know Rome well will be familiar with the triumphant manner with which the word 'No' is often delivered there. I don't think the word 'No' existed in the vocabulary of the staff of this hotel. It was 'Yes' to everything. The neighbourhood of Parioli is Rome's Kensington and access to the centre is easy by bus which stops outside the hotel.

“Great Hotel, But Get Ready to Walk”

Upon entering the hotel, we were greeted by a spacious marble foyer off a more intimate sitting area. Beautiful marble, hotel immaculately maintained. Staff was most affable and always ready to help. Elevator accommodates 2 people with 2 pieces of luggage, that's about it. Room was smaller than American standard, but suited our needs comfortably (2 adults, no kids). A/C was only luke warm and not adjustable; we suggest you remove the metal casing before leaving for the day. Bathroom was marble and good-sized but as Europe does not utilize venting, and as we were there July '09, you'll want to keep the window cracked, but remember residents across the street will see you in all your glory (and unfortunately, you'll see them AND hear their gas, though funny). During our 5 day stay, the weather was 92-97 degrees Fahrenheit and we mainly walked everywhere, though heat was not humid at all unlike NY, where 80F can be oppressive. American Dollar definitely did not go far, but we realized this ahead of time. No nearby bus or metro service, though taxi arrives at hotel in minutes - it's a full half-hour walk to conveniences. Fully stocked fridge, no PPV or English language channels except for CNN International. Overall great stay, though next time we may pick something a little closer.

“Excellent, very happy customer. Definitely would recommend”

Great hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, clean room, excellent facilities, very happy over all. Location was absolutely perfect, quiet neigbourhood, not too close to centre but reachable by bus in 10 minutes. Only thing I was not wowed over was the breakfast. For a four star hotel you'd expect something better. But overall excellent, couldn't be more happy.

“Nice Hotel!”

This hotel was very nice. It was a decent sized room, with a nice balcony. Breakfast was provided and was perfectly acceptable. We splurged a bit on the last part of our trip and spent more on this hotel than we did for the other parts of our trip, but it was nice and worth it. Finding the hotel was a bit tricky. The sign was on the main roadway but you had to actually walk about a block down the side street to get to the hotel entrance. Once we figured that out, there was no issue. The neighborhood was very nice and pretty. Beautiful trees with blooming flowers along the sidewalks and great restaurants within walking distance that we ate at. My favorite part was the cleaning service would put my daughter's stuffed animals on the bed once they made it and when we got back it was nice to see them set up.

“Great Place”

This was our second stay and that was 2 years ago and to our surprise when we checked in they remembered us from our last stay. We enjoyed our stay the previous time and enjoyed it just as much this time. The staff are very polite and helpful and always ready with a smile. The room we had was clean and had every thing we needed or requested. Breakfast is more than adequate. It lasted us until the evening meal. The area surrounding the hotel we found to be very pleasant. We will be returning 2012 for our next visit to Rome.

“Great Location”

It's two buses from the Train terminal (Termini)that you can take from the airport (cost of train express was 12 euros and the bus cost 1 euro) and they are bus 309 and 52, but catch the 309 on the street not in the bus loop area at the Termini, to cut down on the time). The only concern we had for the room was that the air conditioning didn't work as well as it should. We didn't complain about it so we really can't say anything, as I'm sure they would have done something about it if we had made a point of it.

“Hard to find”

Hotel is nice but a bit on the outskirts. Very hard to find as is on a dead end street that no one seemed to be able to know how to find. Once you find it though it's clean, quiet and friendly and an easy bus ride to Roma Terminal where you can catch the open bus tours.

“Karina”

The hotel was not exactly near any major areas of Rome, however there is a bus stop across the street (#52) that will take you directly to the Trevi Fountain area. The hotel was kind enough to give my husband and I a free ticket for the bus, but we quickly found out that the bus driver doesn't even check the tickets so we pretty much traveled for free back and forth each day. The actual room was great! Very spacious and had a very big patio. AC was working great, and bed was comfy. There is a computer in the lobby area which you can use the internet for free as well. Overall, I would recommend you to stay here.

“Can't beat the price!”

While this hotel had lots of charm, the architecture is beautiful, staff very friendly, etc. It's an old structure. The rooms were small, not all the rooms had working AC and hotel was only equipted with 2 fans. The location is nice and quiet, which makes sleeping a lot easier at night, no mopeds or cars racing outside your window. Overall a cute quaint place, but not a 4 star hotel by US standards.
