Rare Keith1010 Posted August 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I too would check out TripAdvisor and I say this because very few people have stayed at each one and can compare and contrast for you. Just as Cruise Critic is an excellent source for cruising I find Trip Advisor to be an excellent source for Hotel selection. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuldalai Posted August 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) We like Hotel Pomezia or Hotel Smeraldo near Campo Fiori and Piazza Farnesse. Book direct via Hotel websites to avoid paying middleman commissions . Edited August 9, 2014 by kuldalai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieMacG Posted August 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I can recommend Hotel Barocco, we've stayed there twice and I would go back in a heartbeat :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted August 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I've stayed at Albergo Cesari and it was a good experience but it's been about 5-6 years. However, recent reviews suggest it is still a great option and the location is terrifice -- about midway between Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon in an area with lots of restaurants, shops, and things to see.

Nightwish Posted August 9, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hello Thanks for the replies. I have checked the reviews on Tripadvisor it was the first thing I did. I have also read reviews on other websites. I don't travel for quite a while, I'm sure to make a choice by then. Regards :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards :) I've not stayed there, but I have walked by several times, and the location of Albergo Cesari is outstanding--I would definitely concentrate on that area.

jbmackinac Posted August 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I have stayed at the Cesari and found it very good. Even better is the Senato a couple of blocks away next to the Pantheon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvocruise Posted August 27, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I have stayed at the Cesari and found it very good. Even better is the Senato a couple of blocks away next to the Pantheon. We are booked at the Cesari for our trip next May but may switch to the Smeraldo. The Smeraldo is 130 Euros less expensive for the three nights. The Cesari seems to have better reviews. We can walk to most places from both hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffy Posted August 27, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I stayed at Relais Teatro Argentina, it is small B&B, but it has good location, and you can walk to many attraction like Panthon. You get discount with advance and cash payment, Good review from tripadvisor, it worths to check it out. I book directly on line with the company.

CathyCruises Posted August 28, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The Relais Teatro Argentina is a nice hotel and we will consider it. Thank you for the information. We also stayed there and we really enjoyed it; however we have been to Rome multiple times and we don't require a lot of handholding. It is a!small, six room B&B actually on the third floor of what appears to be an apartment building. There is no lift, although we did have help carrying our bags both up and down stairs. The owner is only there for a couple of hours a day and after that you are pretty much on your own. It is definitely not a full service hotel. It was perfect for us, the rooms are spacious for Rome and the bathroom was lovely and the location can't be beat. But it is certainly not a conventional hotel in any sense of the word.

We-R-Off Posted September 6, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hello I will be staying in Rome pre-cruise for 4 nights end of September beginning of October 2015. Has anyone any thoughts about the following hotels: Albergo Cesari Hotel ****onale A Montecitorio Residenza In Farnese Thank You:confused: We stayed in Termini area, which was really convenient to commute by bus or underground. There's an easy airport shuttle to Termini. Will definitely stay in that region again due to convenience & hotels are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotels may be a bit cheaper, but you are far away from the center of the action in a less desirable part of town. I am a huge bargain shopper, but there's a difference between price and value. After having stayed in the Centro Storico, I would not stay anyplace else. I honestly don't see the attraction of staying by the train station. Would you go to Los Angeles and stay by the train station? Absolutely not. The station is just a an inexpensive cab ride away from any hotel you might want to be in so there's really no benefit to staying there and having to trudge across town to get to all the sites. Not to mention that the restaurants are much better, the nightlife is much more active, and the streets feel far safer when you're in the central part of town. If I was coming into town for one night and taking the train out the next morning, I might think that a hotel near termini was the right spot, but that would be the only reason to stay there in my opinion.

ptrpanpens Posted September 6, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) I can recommend Hotel Barocco, we've stayed there twice and I would go back in a heartbeat :) Totally agree with you. Love,love, love the Barocco. In this hotel, service, cleanliness, breakfast, location cannot be beat. This is not the cheapest hotel but you really get what you pay for. My favorite hotel of all after over 35 years traveling in Europe! And I am about as picky about hotels as you can get.:D Edited September 6, 2014 by ptrpanpens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islacpl Posted September 10, 2014 #20 Share Posted September 10, 2014 We loved the "Villa Spalletti Trivelli"....only place we will ever stay in Rome if we ever get back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monicak1313 Posted September 12, 2014 #21 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I can recommend Hotel Barocco, we've stayed there twice and I would go back in a heartbeat :) We will be staying at Hotel Barocco in November for 2 days before our cruise. I am so glad to read your post. It is a little scary booking a hotel in an area you don't have a clue where you are. Any info you can give me about things to do in the area?

Say Hi to Christiano and Fabio, they are the best. I dont know what size room you booked but be aware that it is not a typical large US hotel with gym, huge lobby, etc. There is a very nice bar and the breakfast is the best you will ever have in Europe. they make bacon and eggs to order, frittas, omlets, plus everything else you can think of. I was never hungry until dinner. Another nice thing is that they will often upgrade you if they have room. Without a doubt the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in with fantastic beds and totally refurbished. You can walk everywhere, plus the metro is right there at Piazza Barberini if you want to get to the Vatican fast. Right around the corner, you can walk up Via Veneto to the Borghese Gallery and Gardens. There are all sorts of outside cafes on that street...very atmospheric. Plus five minutes to Trevi, Pantheon, Spanish Steps. It is on a little side street so the location is quiet. Osteria Barberini is a great restaurant just up the street a few steps. You have nothing to worry about with this hotel, it does not get its extremely high rating for nothing. This is my favorite hotel after traveling over 35 years in Europe.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
