Great location and service. Will definitely stay here again
We loved this hotel. I was worried based on some mixed reviews and comments that the rooms were worn and outdated. Our room was wonderful and enormous. We had a king bed, desk, and loveseat, with plenty of room for an extra twin rollaway bed for our daughter. The room had large floor-to-ceiling windows that opened onto a side street. While we had no view, the side street was much quieter than if we had been on the Via Veneto or US Embassy side of the building. The bathroom was clean and very large with double sinks and a massive shower. Our only complaint was that the cleaning staff did not always restock towels and toiletries -- we had to call the front desk a few nights, but they sent housekeeping up immediately. The location at the top of Via Veneto was also excellent. We were a short walk from the Galleria Borghese, Capuchin Crypts, Piazza Barberini, Trevi Fountain, and Santa Maria della Vittoria. If you want to take the subway, you are a short walk from the Barberini stop on Via Veneto. We also discovered that there is an entrance to the Spanish Steps subway stop just across the street on Via Veneto. The entrance carries you on a series of escalators and movng walkways directly to the base of the Spanish Steps. The location is far from ancient Rome, but that did not stop us from walking everywhere. I would be hesitant to stay near ancient Rome which does not seem to have many nice hotels. If we travel to Rome again, I would be hardpressed to stay anywhere else.

A Nice Hotel
My husband and I stayed at the Westin Excelsior, Rome for 5 nights in November. While the rooms are expensive, you do get what you pay for. Since we were staying for 5 nights, the hotel staff made sure we had a spacious room on the top floor. As well, they checked us into our room early (10am), which was a treat after an all night flight. On the down side, the hotel is and 15-20 minute walk from all of the main sights. If the weather is nice and you are physically able, this is no problem. But "stopping by" the hotel to rest, pick up supplies, etc. is not possible throughout the day.

Good But Not Impressed
Hotel was overpriced for the summer. Many of the hotel staff need customer service training. Too arrogant to be in the hotel business. Room would have been OK if it had not been for the outside noise and street construction. Hotel staff would not listen until I spoke to the hotel manager.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Go to Rome in the spring and fall. Not as many visitors.
