- “We stayed at Dimora Trevi Suites and really enjoyed it. HOWEVER, the toilet area is just like a small, frosted glass room so privacy was a little lacking lol” 13

- “Last fall we stayed at the "Albergo Del Senato". Literally right next to the Pantheon. We loved it! We are not much for being that close to the action, but it worked out well and is in a perfect location for walking to any other areas in Rome.” 7
- “Here's 2 comments from 2 different trip reports: Hotel Romano I would also highly recommend this hotel. It was pretty and clean and near ancient rome (5 minutes from the Colloseum and we could see the forum if we stuck our head out the window) which we found to be a perfect location.” 9

- “I stayed at Residenza Maritti and found the rooms and hotel to look exactly like the webpage. I love that B&B and have stayed there twice. Get a room overlooking the Augustus forum, if you can. The hotel is right across from the Roman Forum and right down from the Coliseum. The views from the terrace are terrific.” 13

- “The best part of the Romano was the location (right next to the Forum at the end of Via Cavour) and the staff of the hotel (all the people at the front desk spoke English, were very polite, gave restaurant recommendations, lent umbrullas when it rained and hailed cabs for me).” 9

Noise5 mentions

- “Rooms were clean and spacious but there were mentions about noise affecting the experience.” 14
- “The windows are very thick, so it?s nice and quiet at night.” 9
- “While courtyard-facing rooms do tend to be quieter, many rooms pick up the sound of announcements from the nearby station.” 4
- “Someone mentioned noise near The Coliseum-although the Lancelot is a few blocks away it is on a very quiet street, so not really an issue there.” 10
Service15 mentions
- “The best part of the Romano was the location (right next to the Forum at the end of Via Cavour) and the staff of the hotel (all the people at the front desk spoke English, were very polite, gave restaurant recommendations, lent umbrullas when it rained and hailed cabs for me).” 9

- “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.” 11
- “I've also stayed at Albergo Del Senato but it was in 2017. I LOVED it though! Great staff, great rooms, and great location!” 7

- “Both of the hotel's restaurants are located on the seventh floor, which offer decent-enough food and also have great city views.” 4

Location15 mentions
- “The location of the hotel is ideal for getting to and from the train station, but it is definitely located in a rather shady part of town.” 2
- “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.” 10
- “Central location was convenient for local touring and transportation.” 14
- “Last fall we stayed at the "Albergo Del Senato". Literally right next to the Pantheon. We loved it! We are not much for being that close to the action, but it worked out well and is in a perfect location for walking to any other areas in Rome.” 7

- “A little pricey but we loved Palazzo Navona. We stayed at Palazzo Olivia once and enjoyed the location as well as the extra space.” 10
- “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.” 11

- “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???” 11
- “A few years ago my wife and I stayed at Nicolas Inn, based on RS guidebook recommendation and we were very pleased. It's in the Monti neighborhood, close to metro stop, good restaurants and a fun little piazza nearby. I think email is best way to book a room, they don't seem to keep an up to date website. It's clean and basic with only 6 rooms maybe.” 10

Room13 mentions
- “The restaurant itself has some decent panoramic views of Rome from the patio/terrace area and some nice floor to ceiling windows to enjoy whatever views the hotel could offer at its height.” 2
- “The hotel's 232 guest rooms are done in sleek, contemporary decor that incorporates a sharp monochrome palette, minimalist IKEA-esqe furniture, and a few quirky design touches, but units show some signs of wear and scuffing.” 4
- “I stayed at Residenza Maritti and found the rooms and hotel to look exactly like the webpage. I love that B&B and have stayed there twice. Get a room overlooking the Augustus forum, if you can. The hotel is right across from the Roman Forum and right down from the Coliseum. The views from the terrace are terrific.” 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.” 11
- “As Carlson credit card gold members we got upgraded to a huge suite. It did have the water worn wood all over and the room was aging.” 2
- “The room was very small, but also very clean and secure.” 9
- “Here's 2 comments from 2 different trip reports: Hotel Romano I would also highly recommend this hotel. It was pretty and clean and near ancient rome (5 minutes from the Colloseum and we could see the forum if we stuck our head out the window) which we found to be a perfect location.” 9
- “We just returned from Rome and we stayed at Hotel Diana, which was exactly as pictured online. Biggest room we stayed at in Europe by far and even had air conditioning.” 13
- “I made my way upstairs finally to find a decently modern and cramped room, featuring a queen bed.” 2
- “Get a room overlooking the Augustus forum, if you can. The hotel is right across from the Roman Forum and right down from the Coliseum. The views from the terrace are terrific.” 13
- “Maintenance both in the general facilities (eg. elevators), and rooms needs to be drastically improved. It's simply inexcusable for a hotel guest to be stuck in an elevator for an entire hour or find mold in his room especially at an international brand name.” 2
- “I made my way upstairs finally to find a decently modern and cramped room, featuring a queen bed. However don't let the pictures fool you, there was quite a bit of water damage on much of the hardwood panels, and there was some mold in the corners of the room, which clearly hadn't been dealt with.” 2
- “And my room had a great view of the Forum.” 9
