This is a nice boutique hotel with 80 rooms. Nice staff. Our room was clean and comfortable but a bit small, so small that there was no room for a chair, just 2 small stools in addition to the bed of course. Shelf space was a bit limited too. The lobby is okay but the seating is kind of nondescript and a bit uncomfortable. Overall the facility is not worthy of 5 stars.

Very disappointed in Sofitel. We had a long italy trip and every hotel we stayed in was beyond amazing and they all had breakfast included and great service. Sofitel was extremely expensive for nothing. Breakfast isn’t included. We booked a luxury room with view and my view was a construction site that they refused to change for us even though we PAID for a view. Beyond disappointing.

I chose the Sofitel for my stay in Rome because of its' reputation for upscale, luxury accommodations. This was a special trip to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. With almost no lobby, and limited seating that looks like it came from Ikea, the hotel is more about 'style' than substance. Decorated in marble tones and white, the decor aims for a contemporary, minimalist look that in reality translates to a lack of comfort and purpose. Our 'luxury' room had no chairs, no desk, and a bathroom counter that didn't have room for any personal items. Our Juliette balcony was a rip-off. It wasn't high enough to provide ANY view, and not wide enough to sit on. These balconies are limited to the hotel's third floor ONLY, so this provides an idea of what you can see. Other buildings and trash. To set up a his computer in our room, my husband was forced to sit on a foot stool and hunch over a small cocktail table. The hotel has some of the worst room design I've seen. It's obvious the designers didn't try to stay in the room. To add to the overall inconvenience of the hotel, it is situated at the top of a steep hill, so even using the metro, you end a long, hot day with a 15 minute steep, up hill trek. I regret my choice of this hotel and would not recommend it. The staff were friendly and nice, but not accommodating to personal needs. They have such a volume of tourism they don't need to provide anything more than a basic level of service. Another hotel choice, definitely!

Outstanding property in the upscale Borghese neighborhood of Rome that is a little quieter and off the beaten path for most tourists. Property itself is outstanding with spacious room, ultra modern bathroom, and high ceiling.
A fantastic rooftop bar for meals or just a nightcap before going downstairs to end the evening is one of the other great things about this hotel. Convenient two block walk to a bus stop as well as several great restaurants within a two block radius. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Very much helped to make a very memorable experience in Rome.

All the staff were very courteous and attentive.
The location was very good for reaching all the major attractions in Rome.
We would have preferred to have access to a bar without the need to have a meal.
Tourists should be vigilant with regard to pick pockets on the metro. My wife and I nearly became prey to this but fortunately my wife was alert to the danger.
Overall, we were very pleased we chose this hotel.

About a 5-7 minutes walk to the Spanish Steps. 10-15 Minute walk to Galleria Borghese (Beauitful!!! please book ahead!!), Trevi Fountain. Great Location! The restaurant upstairs overlooks the Villa Borghese with the very nice views of the city as backdrop. The service from porters, receptionists, concierge to wait staff at the restaurant all very very good! The only person that didn’t speak English was the room attendant but our rooms/beds were made up cleanly/efficiently everyday! We stayed 5 nights and ate breakfast at the restaurant every morning. Breakfast staff very very friendly. Arranged for last minute tours with the concierge and they got us transport quickly. Overall a very pleasant stay at a well maintained hotel. We splurged a little but worth it!

Wonderful Rome hotel!

Sofitel Roma was a wonderful hotel in a great area of Rome. It was an easy walk to many of the sites we wanted to see and the staff was exceptional. The room was spacious by European standards and the housekeeping was immaculate. My only complaint was about the bathroom. There was very little counter space for toiletries and the shower had a rain shower head right at the door which made it extremely easy to get water all over the floor.

This hotel has nicely remodeled rooms especially for the price. Staff was courteous and helpful at front desk and dining areas. Only downside is that breakfast offerings were a bit meager compared to most other hotels I stay at , for example no made to order omelette station or fresh waffles, etc. Breakfast had same choices daily but I think it’s a function of scale. Very solid choice for someone wanting an upscale property. It’s not the Peninsula Chicago or the Mandarin in Bangkok but you aren’t paying those prices.

Much Good, Some Not

This hotel is in a fabulous location, steps from the Villa Borghese and the Spanish Steps. It is stylish, modern and clean. The rooms are on the small side and the service was hit and miss - either very good, or not good at all. Would I stay there again on a return to Rome? Probably not. I would look for another option in the same area.

Very nice location and generally nice property. But multiple issues that I did not really expect for a five star property. The design upgrade is nice but several areas where it’s form over function (only one tiny closet in a 500 sq ft suite?, bathroom doors that would not properly fold back and we kept bumping into etc etc). Also don’t expect a property of this caliber to have several days of systems issues or service staff who cannot scan and send a document promptly or room setvice that arrives 25 minutes after the scheduled time and only after 4?5? repeated calls etc.

Lovely comfortable hotel in a great area.

We stayed at the Sofitel for one night on our way home from Italy. It was the perfect end to our vacation. The front desk was extremely helpful and personable upon check in. The hotel is comfortable and quiet. Our room was very comfortable and the location is outstanding. We had dinner at the rooftop restaurant which was wonderful. Our only complaint is that we are not big fans of the \"rain shower\" overhead shower head in the bathroom - but that is a personal preference. We will definitely return again when we are in Rome.

My only complaint would be about the size of the room. For the amount of euros that we paid I would expect a larger room . I have stayed in 4-5 star hotels in Europe before so I am comparing. When we checked in they said that since we are staying for 6 days they want us to have a really nice room . We had a lovely view of an ancient structure .
The room was very well appointed and comfortable despite the size . Very comfortable bed.
VERY high bathtub making it dangerous climbing in to shower and my 18 year old granddaughter felt the same way .

Nice hotel in posh part of Rome

The hotel staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was very nice and the room was comfortable and well appointed. The hotel is located in a very posh part of Rome, with tony restaurants all around and is adjacent to the wonderful Villa Borghese and near the Spanish steps. It is definitely in a quieter part of Rome, perhaps not the best bar hopping if that's what you're looking for. The hotel rooftop bar, however, has an incredible view with amazing sunsets and a nice, mid-sized terrace area. The drinks are excellent, albeit pricey. I was very disappointed with the \"free internet\" service - the wifi was hardly usable from our room, with a pay-wifi service available for upgraded internet speed. However, after paying what we did for the room, decent wifi should have been standard. The cable tv service was also spotty and many channels either did not work or would go in and out of service. There was some noticeable wear in certain parts of the hotel, but nothing too egregious at all.
