    Single woman traveling alone. My 1st hotel upon arrival in Rome, I booked a jr. suite for $450 euro, but worth every cent. It was ornate without being cheesy, immaculate, had no signs of wear and tear. The staff were extremely helpful and professional...the bell boy came up to show me how to use the electricity converter. Everything was perfect, the selection of furniture and colors, luxurious fabrics, tile, brass. The entry doors to the room are round on top, very nice.

    We have stayed at Parco di Principi many times yer switched to Splendide for variety. Outstanding hotel. Pretentious- yes, but it is five star after all. Rooms were clean and very comfortable. Great and plentiful breakfast buffet. Location is perfect.

    An amazing visit to Rome The open top buses have 24/48 hour tickets so you can start your ticket any time during the day and it is still good until the same time the next day. A great way to see the city and decide what more you want to see.

    The location is fabulous, just a short walk to the Spanish Steps and the Via Veneto. Another advantage was eating breakfest on the roof with a great view of Rome. The twin beds pushed together is always a pain and it is pricey but well worth the cost. They did not seem to be anti-American either like some places in Rome.

    The attendants at the concierge we're uninformative and dishonest. My family booked a junior suite with an adjacent room only to have two of us placed on the 5th floor junior suite and two in a 4th floor regular double occupancy room. The junior suite had a horrible rotting stench coming from the vent and a broken toilet (it broke 5 times). We asked politely to move to another suite, and at first the concierge told us this would be possible. Upon requesting it again, another concierge told us this would be contingent only if they could not fix the smell in the room and repair the toilet. The cleaning staff poured bleach on the carpet and sprayed air freshener in the room to try to cover the smell, which left an overwhelming stench of rotting food and bleach that was unbearable. The toilet despite being "fixed" 3 times, broke down twice more and almost over flowed with water. Finally, we threatened to switch to the Hilton Cavaliere at 4AM in the morning on the 3rd day, after an unrestful night of sleep. We were finally switched to another standard room (while still paying for a junior suite rate). After complaining some more we were switched to a proper junior suite on the 4th floor. Although the room was very nice, there was construction on the street and one could hear the jackhammer at 6AM in the morning every day. The bed linens were heavily starched linens and very uncomfortable. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to get a restful night of sleep, or who simply wants to relax.

    Top Luxury Hotel Pompeii is just a couple of hours away by Eurostar, costs 79 Euros and is well worth the visit. Tivoli and the fantastic Villa D'Este water gardens, are also a must do. Travel by the airconditioned (regional trains are not)Eurostar in under an hour.

    amazing hotel! The service at this hotel was so exceptional, that it would be worth the visit just for that. But, additionally, the rooms, the hotel, the breakfast, the restaurant, are all top notch. The neighborhood and its location in the city could not be beat. And, I have to say, I never expected to be so pleased with a hotel, since I am terribly picky!

    Great Stay! Wonderful service, large room, and nice breakfast included. One of the nicest (and more expensive) hotels in Rome, but worth it.
