Location14 mentions
- “I have reached out to the REzidenza Canali to see if they have anything, the location is great and booking.com states there is a room but they keep putting us from 4 people to 2???” 26
- “Thank you kelloggs_kween • 3mo ago 'roam', I see what you did there ;) More replies More replies Adi390 • 4mo ago We're currently at Dimora Coppelle. We're currently at Dimora Coppelle. Amazing location, halfway between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon.” 12
- “I stayed in an apartment in the same Palazzo ( but not part of this property). The location is ideal, Via della Scrofa.” 12
- “Hotel Du Torri, mentioned by a couple of people above, has a sister hotel. It is Hotel Fontanella Borghese near the Spanish Steps. We've stayed there a number of times and have always been pleased. While it is not "luxury", it is very nice and the location is great.” 19
- “The décor was a bit over the top, but it matches the neighborhood and the excitement of Rome.” 26
- “The location by Termini station is convenient for those traveling by train but less convenient for visiting the sights on foot, as many are a good half-hour walk away.” 15
- “There aren't many smart-looking hotels close to Termini station, but Palazzo Montemartini is the exception. It's just a five-minute jaunt from the trains, perfect for when you're on a short stopover or keen to see other cities, like Florence and Venice, while keeping Rome as your base.” 20
- “Thank you kelloggs_kween • 3mo ago 'roam', I see what you did there ;) 'roam', I see what you did there ;) Adi390 • 4mo ago We're currently at Dimora Coppelle. We're currently at Dimora Coppelle. Amazing location, halfway between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon.” 12
- “Housed in a historic building constructed in 1881, Palazzo Montemartini is a Radisson Collection Hotel with a great location in the center of Rome and a superb staff, according to previous visitors.” 22
- “We stayed at Hotel Regno on Via del Corso. Two blocks to the Pantheon one way, two blocks to Trevi Fountain the other. Bus stop a few feet from hotel if needed. We did take the bus to the Vatican because we had to be there early for our tour, but walked back. Also walked to the Borghese museum. Very Centrally located with a great breakfast.” 19
- “So I was very happy to have found an affordable deal for a good hotel with the Palazzo Montemartini. It had a good location. Being opposite of Termini station allowing for easy transfer from the airport on the Leonardo 'Express' and onwards to the port of Civitavecchia on a regional train service.” 13
- “Hope you get rooms at Residenza Canali. We stayed there for a couple of nights about 8 years ago. Perfect location, nice room and a good breakfast.” 26
- “A little pricey but we loved Palazzo Navona. We stayed at Palazzo Olivia once and enjoyed the location as well as the extra space.” 19
- “Good restaurants nearby and a short walk to Monti a neighborhood with great restaurants. We walked everywhere (even to the Borghese and the Vatican) but public transportation close as is a taxi stand. The hotel staff helped tremendously, very nice family run hotel.” 19
Room15 mentions
- “Check reviews carefully and you may want to contact the hotels to determine if each room has its own climate controls. Our hotel in Florence was unbearably hot in spite of their "air conditioning".” 26
- “When we tried to call the front desk, we realized that our in-room phone was out of order and it prompted me to go downstairs to talk to the front desk.” 1
- “The ancient tower of the Palazzo was redesigned for the exquisite Penthouse Suite with breathtaking panoramic views of Rome and the Baths of Diocletian from both floors.” 7
- “In the lobby area there was a two floors spanning library which looked very impressive. We received an unexpected upgrade to a junior suite on the 4th floor. It was nice and spacious and I like how they integrated the sofa into the centrally located bed.” 13
- “My second-floor 29 sqm Superior Collection room was located in the modern half of the hotel, overlooking the Termini station. It was bright, spacious and peaceful with a comfortable king bed sunken into a taupe leather frame, a stylish chaise longue and a chunky circular cherry wood table.” 18
- “the Noble Suite described as 'OUT OF THE WORLD' with immense grandeur and space” 3
- “Hope you get rooms at Residenza Canali. We stayed there for a couple of nights about 8 years ago. Perfect location, nice room and a good breakfast.” 26
- “Adorned in various shades of gray, the room's aesthetics flirted with the boundary of minimalism and outright dreariness.” 1
- “The highest room category is the Premium Collection Room with exceptional views of the city.” 7
- “We had to lug all of our luggage back down to the first floor, only to be reassigned to a room on the same exact fourth floor. No offer to help us bring the luggage down, nor the more logical solution to just give us the new room keys a few doors down from where we were to move straight from our old room.” 1
- “The furniture is decidedly modern-in Junior Suites, the bedhead that turns into a sofa is a neat idea, and the table by the window is the perfect resting place for your complimentary welcome glass of wine.” 20
- “Room was upgraded to a huge suite on arrival. The bathroom had a bathtub and the room felt like an apartment.” 3
- “When we were finally moved to a new room, it was a classic case of out of the frying pan and into the fire. The new "better" room was smaller, with a non-functional hammam that mocked us with its uselessness, and a shower that might as well have been a dark closet for all the comfort it provided.” 1
- “The main room also offered a bar area with both a Nespresso coffee maker and an ordinary water cooker for tea. There was a closet to store your clothes in the main room and an equally big one in the bathroom, so plenty of storage available.” 13
- “Check reviews carefully and you may want to contact the hotels to determine if each room has its own climate controls. Our hotel in Florence was unbearably hot in spite of their "air conditioning". All of our pleas for another room fell on deaf ears.” 26
Service14 mentions
- “Palazzo Montemartini Rome, A Radisson Collection Hotel, is the perfect setting for meetings, conferences and special events. With versatile spaces, state-of-the-art technology and impeccable service, it offers a tailor-made experience in the heart of the capital, just steps from Termini Station.” 23
- “While the hotel is not right in the middle of the ancient part of town, it was nice to get away from the crowds and back to the more laid-back Via Veneto in the evenings.” 26
- “At no point during our ordeal were we met with a sincere apology or a genuine attempt to understand and rectify the problems we faced. Instead, we encountered a defensive stance and a series of excuses that served only to exacerbate our frustration and disappointment.” 1
- “The streets to and from the central station is incredibly dirty, the staff are indifferent, and this hotel is definitely not a 5-star level.” 1
- “The dining experience is meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, led by the Chef and a talented and dynamic team, always ready to fulfill every desire and request with professionalism, flair and passion.” 23
- “The staff is also very friendly and pro-active, always making sure everything is clean and in perfect condition.” 13
- “Housed in a historic building constructed in 1881, Palazzo Montemartini is a Radisson Collection Hotel with a great location in the center of Rome and a superb staff, according to previous visitors.” 22
- “An odd refusal to exchange a 100 euro note for smaller denominations was our initial encounter with the hotel's service, a service that, while minor, set a precedent for the lack of accommodation we were about to face.” 1
- “Highly recommend, very clean, nice breakfast, friendly staff. We had them set up a private driver to the airport the day with left, everything went smoothly. Very easy to walk to most sites and quiet at night.” 19
- “I recommend Navona Gallery and Garden Suites in the Piazza Navona area, at a walking distance from the main sites. Staff is very friendly and you will feel like at home.” 19
- “Peters. We stayed at Minerva Relais, a Bed and Breakfast in the Pantheon area. Highly recommend, very clean, nice breakfast, friendly staff.” 19
- “When I asked to switch rooms on my third time down at the front desk (again, phone still not working), the receptionist was rather rude and told me that housekeeping was in our room right now to remedy the issue.” 1
- “Bathrooms are spacious, the towels and robes seriously soft.” 20
- “Hotel Du Torri, mentioned by a couple of people above, has a sister hotel. It is Hotel Fontanella Borghese near the Spanish Steps. ... The staff is very friendly and helpful.” 19

- “The bathroom was wonderful, it features a gorgeous spacious bath tub, perfect to enjoy a bath together. The sink area was also nice and big so we were able to spread out all our toiletries.” 13
- “A few years ago my wife and I stayed at Nicolas Inn, based on RS guidebook recommendation and we were very pleased. ... I thought the bathroom was large for Europe's standard.” 19
Noise3 mentions
- “Best for train-dependent travelers, less so for anyone sensitive to street noise.” 3
- “We enjoyed our 4-night stay at Hotel Due Torri. http://www.hotelduetorriroma.com/en/ It's walking distance to the Colosseum, Vatican and old Rome. Nice staff, quiet room on narrow, no traffic street.” 19
- “One of the main reason why we chose this hotel was due to its proximity to the central Rome station (right across the street). This served to be super useful as we took the train from Florence to Rome.” 1
Food17 mentions
- “Breakfast pastries and cakes from the patisserie were high quality.” 3
- “The chef gives traditional Italian cuisine a modern twist for an exquisite taste for an exclusive dining experience.” 7
- “The ground-floor Senses restaurant and bar is beautiful, in a room graced with majestic square marble columns and a central water fountain that cascades from the ceiling into a black high-gloss table.” 18
- “What stood out was the big offer of cakes and other sweet bites, which are typical for an Italian breakfast. They were by far the best the breakfast had to offer, and some of the best cakes I had in a hotel.” 13
- “The dining experience is meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, led by the Chef and a talented and dynamic team, always ready to fulfill every desire and request with professionalism, flair and passion.” 23
- “The breakfast included with our stay was also fine (but just fine - not exceptional).” 1
- “The hotel also houses the distinctive Senses Restaurant and Lounge Bar with an impressive indoor central fountain and classic columns where Executive Chef Simone Strano creates traditional Italian dishes with creative influences, and when the weather permits, a peaceful external garden.” 8
- “Food is served in the downstairs restaurant which is located in a beautiful classic hall, with a contrasting modern interior outfit in the classic décor.” 13
- “This area is quite chaotic and conveniently full of shops, restaurants, local eateries, bars, and gelato and pizza parlors.” 15
- “We stayed at Hotel Regno on Via del Corso. Two blocks to the Pantheon one way, two blocks to Trevi Fountain the other. Bus stop a few feet from hotel if needed. We did take the bus to the Vatican because we had to be there early for our tour, but walked back. Also walked to the Borghese museum. Very Centrally located with a great breakfast.” 19
- “Hope you get rooms at Residenza Canali. We stayed there for a couple of nights about 8 years ago. Perfect location, nice room and a good breakfast.” 26
- “The rooftop terrace is envy-inducing, and the Caschera Spa is ultra luxurious-book the 'spa and senses fusion package', featuring a 50-minute body scrub and back massage, plus a three-course lunch or dinner at the hotel's Senses restaurant.” 20
- “Some of the original interior design elements can be seen in several parts of the building, such as the terrazzo marble floors in some of the hallways and the beautiful coffered ceilings in the restaurant and some of the guest rooms.” 15
- “The ideal location offers a vibrant social scene right outside the hotel doors with many cafes and restaurants to enjoy your first Italian coffee.” 7
- “On the last evening we also had dinner in the hotel. All different courses where delicious and perfectly executed.” 13
- “If you want to stay near the Vatican, we are big fans of the Hotel Museum-it's literally down some steps from the entrance to the Vatican Museums and when we were last there, in 2008, the breakfast was really good.” 19
- “The breakfast was delightful with a wide variety.” 26
