Vittorio Emanuele Monument Tours

The main advantage of the hotel is that it is fairly central to the Rome City Centre, near a lovely park. Many listed hotels tend to be in the outer edge of Rome. Expect a 20E taxi to the Colliseum / shopping areas or a 20min walk through the park daytime only to Metro, which is an amazing 1.5E standard fare. The hotel is historically a former private school, and has large rooms, with high ceilings, in a traditional building. The rooms are not modern, being a traditional building, but the kitchenettes are a real plus. It has an outdoor pool (though seasonal, closed for our stay in late October). There was a good buffet continental breakfast selection. There was unfortunately a mix up with our room type, which could have been communicated better, before I entered the room to find it smaller than the one I had booked. The staff were honourable in their remedy of free mini bar and rectified the room the next day. Overall a near excellent stay, location, generous room size and very good reception and breakfast staff. End Oct 26 stay, 2 nights, family of 4.

Staff was very helpful. Rooms were very very small. Elevator is very crammed. Breakfast was very good. Good hotel for the money.
