Manfredi

( 3 stars , Rome , Italy )

I went to Rome for work and pleasure and this hotel is in a magnifiscent location! It literally is 1/4 block away from the Spanish Steps and Metro station. The area is beautiful with many restaurants near by and a supermarket down the street to grab som

A pleasant friendly hotel. We appreciated the fact that they let us speak Italian to them although their English is excellent. The room was small but the excellent location more than compensated.

This is a very nice hotel, though a bit small. It is at good location, very quite, yet close to metro station and many good restaurants. staffs are friendly and very helpful.

Hotel Manfredi,located on the third floor with a funky, antique, elevator, in a bldg with another hotel on the floor directly below it on Via Margutta, is remarkably quiet for its proximity to the Spanish Steps. We reserved a double-standard room, and when we arrived around 5 pm, we were given the only room available -- it's a small hotel-- number 102, which was insultingly tiny and could barely fit one person. How they could possibly have called this a double room is beyond me. But because we were exhausted from a full day of travel, and we would have been charged for one night anyway, and because they immediately promised to move us the next day (before we even saw the room) giving us a choice of rooms (supposedly an upgrade), we decided to stay. . . We asked for a discount for the unacceptable room (180E plus)but were given a song and a dance, but no discount. However, the feel of the hotel is very nice--luxurious-- with the walls covered in soft, padded, fabric and the floors with plush carpets, nice prints on the walls and solid furniture, marble bathrooms, however, the showerstall did not close properly resulting in water all over the floor. And the sink did not drain well. The heat was not sufficient for us -- it rained and was miserably nasty out, when we returned in the evening, we had trouble warming up, with the bathroom being downright freezing cold. At breakfast, the first two mornings we found the waitstaff very unfriendly, pointing out immediately that breakfast was self-serve and not asking us if we wanted coffee. When others came in, we noted that they were treated differently. However, breakfast was tasty, hard-boiled eggs, warm rolls, then the usual cold cuts and yogurt, juice, but also fresh fruit, a tasty pastry tart, and delicious coffee.

The hotel is situated on just one floor of a big old townhouse, and so it's a bit strange when you first arrive as you have to enter into a communal entrance and get in the lift to go to the third floor. But when you eventually arrive, the reception and communal areas are very nicely decorated and the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is great - varied enough for everyone to find something nice, and lots of good coffee, however you like it, served promptly and with a smile. The location is absolutely perfect - shops are within 20 metres. The only let-down with this hotel is the size of the rooms - a double room is only just big enough for the bed itself. On the other hand the rooms are spotless and very nicely decorated and anyway you don't really spend much time in your hotel room when you're in Rome!

A very atmospheric hotel with great style and charm. Beautiful, central location which helps create a wonderful first impression of Rome. There are plenty of restaurants close by. Staff are very welcoming and most anxious to please. Only one slight complaint - the breakfast room is very small and you may have to wait for a vacant table. We hope to return soon!

Nice location, comfortable, but very small room for 2 persons.

I went to Rome for work and pleasure and this hotel is in a magnifiscent location! It literally is 1/4 block away from the Spanish Steps and Metro station. The area is beautiful with many restaurants near by and a supermarket down the street to grab some water and snacks. The Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and Pantheon are all within a short 10 - 15 minute walk and the Piazza del Popolo is about five minutes away. The staff were very friendly in helping to arrange a private car pick up to/from the airport; which I recommend for late night arrivals and early morning departures if you have more than one bag with you. The area around the hotel features very high end shops and is one of the nicest areas of Rome I saw in my five days there. Gregory Peck's address in Roman Holiday is 51 Via Margutta and the hotel is 61 Via Margutta(Fun side note) The single room I was assigned was really small, but it was only me and I was able to sleep, shower and relax just fine. Internet was REALLY expensive at the hotel, so you may want to try and find an internet cafe near by. I will definitely consider this hotel again in Rome, I will definitely be staying in this area in my next trip! Additional note: The hotel is on the 3rd floor and the Hotel Forte is on the 2nd floor; same building.

Charming hotel, 1 block off of the main drag by the Spanish steps. Great area for walking, shopping and enjoying Rome. Piazza De Popolo is down the block. We walked to the Pantheon and nearly all of the piazzas from the hotel. Catch the metro at Spagna and you are minutes to the Vatican. Visit Castle St Angelo (Hadrians Tomb) for great views. Fountain De Trevi also walking distance.

charming little hotel very well located
