Hotel is off the beaten path, requiring transportation to the main sites but it wasn't too bad. Hotel was clean and staff polite.
Not much activity happening in the hotel itself, never could tell if the bar was open or not. would have been nice to have a TV in the bar to catch the world cup games.
Would have appreciated if the breakfast was included in the bill, it required paying a fee depending on how many days you had breakfast.

The friendly, thoughtful, and cheerful staff added warmth to the historic ambiance of the decor.
The breakfast was delicious and appealed to Italian and international tastes, a bargain at 10 Euros that efficiently got us off to a busy day.
Because we had booked the hotel in advance, the cost was very reasonable for the large, comfortable room. The one drawback was that the bathroom was one step up from the rest of the room. We decided not to bother requesting a change because the room was clean, quiet, and fresh, and close to the elevator and the amenities.
I would certainly return to this hotel in the future, and I recommend it highly for its friendliness, cost, convenience, and Italian ambiance.
There was a small conference facility that could be used for a wedding or other function.

The hotel is on a dead-end street so very little road noise but a challenge for parking. Plan to walk or use taxis. The front desk attendants were very helpful with any questions. The room was comfortable but small with a large balcony. If you are planning on breakfast at the hotel, it’s not great and an additional cost. The coffee was terrible and food, eh. It would be better to plan to go out and find something else. All in all, not a bad hotel.

This is a hotel in a fantastic location, with easy access to transportation to all of Rome's wonders, in addition to being just a 20 minute walk to Piazza del Popolo. On the doorstep of Villa Borghese, this is a quiet and safe residential area, with cafes and restaurants priced relatively affordably compared to the city centre.

The downside to this is the hotel itself - it is weathered, but if you're like me, than you'll find it charming and a step back into the classy 1950's, with marble everywhere and busts of heroes of antiquity on display.

Please note - not all rooms have air functioning air conditioning, however this is common throughout Italy.

There is WiFi, however, my room found itself inconveniently located between two routers whose signal strength would fluctuate and making it difficult to conduct any video calls. This however I think speaks to the thickness of the walls (a positive) as I did not hear any other guests with my room right beside a lift/elevator, and again, when in Rome your room really is only to sleep so I did not find this a tremendous issue.

We booked for two days. The room was very hot and the ac did not work. We asked them to fix it and it ran for a few minutes then quit. Attempt two same result. We spent the night sweating it out like we were in boot camp. Checked out the next day at 10am and the front desk staff refused a refund for our second night that we did not use. At E350.00 I would say that I should not be held responsible to stay another night on property. Also they charge E12.00 to use the gym. I’ve stayed in hotels all over the world and this is a first for me.

Avoid this hotel. I booked because in description they said that there is a Shuttle service available from hotel to airport, but there is no such thing provided. when i asked about the shuttle service they simply called a cab for which i still had to pay out of pocket. Also the staff is rude and all they care about is how to make guests pay more money for every tiny amenity that they offer. The breakfast is not included with the price of the hotel when you book and you will end up paying 25 € for two people. the elevator is so small that two people can barely fit in.

BAD HOTEL-STAY AWAY !!

Regret staying at this hotel too. The hotel is located on a small residential street where cabs are not allowed to park or get inside. The cabs will drop you off at the main street and you have to carry your luggage to the hotel. Also, the customer service person kept our passports and asked us to comeback later so he can finish us checking in at night time cause he was busy and did not have time to service us. We were the only customers at night time and when we refused to hand him the passports, he made us wait an hour before he could service us. Also the toilet in the bathroom was so small and placed under the sink that we could not properly sit on it. When I complained, I was told all bathrooms are like that. see the picture posted and you won't believe it. Yes, it is under the sink. I hurt myself few times getting down and up from the toilet seat. I will not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel even if they offer for free. Also there are some small insects that craw on the bathroom floor that you can not see cause the floor is all dark but if you pay close attention, you will see them crawling.

The cups/glasses that were in the room were wiped not washed as everyday my \"new\" cups and glasses still had remains of my lipstick on them even though they were placed in \"new\" bags. It makes me question other areas of cleanliness. The breakfast buffet had almost every table covered with dirty dishes. There is no bistro on the premises so if you want to eat you need to go somewhere else. Bus transit was close by. The bed was very comfortable. The view from my bedroom was looking at a building and a bunch of scaffolding which didn't seem to be in use. There was a dog constantly barking/ whinning. Overall I was very disappointed. There is nothing nearby and it appears to be in a residential area in the middle of nowhere. I would not stay here again.

I recommend using the Google Map app and it will totally help you navigate the public transportation and bus timings etc. It made our getting around so much easier! There’s a newspaper stand a block away where you can purchase bus tickets.

The Best Western Rivoli Was Excellent

We found the Rivoli perfect in almost all respects. It has a quiet elegance that BWs don't often have in Canada. The room was perfect, had a sizeable balcony, the bed was very comfortable and room and bathroom were very clean and modernized. Monia at the front desk, although very busy, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and enjoys interacting with everyone. Her English is excellent. The other staff are also very nice and accommodating. Loved the lady that took care of the breakfast area, she made coffees to order, and was very gracious. The breakfasts were excellent by the way with many choices for a breakfast. The only negative is that our booking stated explicitly that breakfast was included which it wasn't, there was a 3 euro charge per person per day. Still not unreasonable for what you got but a booking error needing address and correction. Accommodation tax, which is a standard hotel charge in Italy was, I believe, 3 euros per person per night. Taxi to downtown or back depending on time of day varied 10-15 euros. Taxi to the airport, if ordered from the hotel is flat rated at 58 euros. We left at 4 am and it was a fast 40 kilometres to the airport due to minimal traffic.

Good Hotel, fair location, courteous staff

Hotel is located about a 20 minute walk from good shopping and roughly 40 mins from Coliseum or other major attractions of downtown. Many local restaurants within walking distance allow you to get good value while avoiding the tourist traps found elsewhere. Rooms are small but clean and hotel is maintained very well. Breakfast is an outstanding spread and was honestly one of our best meals of the week. Tram stops are only 2 blocks away, and by consulting the hotel staff you can easily find your way around the neighbourhood. The \"3 Girls\" cafe nearby is a cozy little spot to grab a coffee and sandwich for under 5 Euro. (Go out to main road, take a right, then first right gets you there only 2 minute walk from the hotel).

Far walk, nice hotel, bugs

My husband and I stayed here for four nights at the beginning of our honeymoon in europe. The daytime staff were helpful. Our hotel room was nice but on our second day I noticed a mystery bug bite on my leg that over the next few days swelled up fairly badly although I have absolutely no recollection of being bitten/stung. On our last night I noticed red ant like bugs, two in our bed and a few on the floor...I don't know if this is what bit me but I went downstairs (this was in the evening) and attempted to explain the bugs and asked for a change of rooms. The man did not fully understand what I was saying but he did switch rooms without an apology or checking our room. The next morning during checkout the woman working asked about it again but we got no apology or explanation. While I understand things happen outside the hotels control I would have appreciated some concern over the matter.

In regards to location - plan to walk or take a cab once in awhile. The walk is doable my husband and I took the walk through a beautiful park nearby but it is tiring especially after a long day of seeing the sights. It is in a great quiet neighborhood!

Overall the hotel is average. I'm not sure we would stay there again based on price and location and my one specific negative experience but it was overall a positive experience.

Our second stay at this hotel. We won't be back!

Our room, 309, was unfortunately infected with bedbugs. We are still in the process of disinfecting our clothes and luggage, and anything else we had with us in that room. We informed the desk, and they offered us another room, but as it was the second day before we were positive what was going on, another room would do us no good, as we checked out that morning.

I should point out that most infections of this sort occur because a careless guest brings the bugs with them in infected clothing or luggage. The hotel only knows when a guest complains. However, I feel strongly that the correct response in such a situation should be more than offering another room. My wife and I have bites from head to toe, and they are very itchy and uncomfortable. The costs of dealing with our clothing and luggage will be quite high, yet the hotel offered no help.

Our room costs over $200 per night, prepaid, once taxes were included. Also, by booking through Venere, our breakfast was not included. It was three euros apiece extra. (Read the fine print!)

In addition, the hotel would not turn on the air conditioning, even though it was in the 80\"s F in Rome. They did supply us with a fan.

This was our second trip to this hotel, as we enjoyed it very much the first time. Under the circumstances, we will not return.

Not so pleasant!!!

The hotel is very far from the airport, like a 45 to 50 minute drive. The taxi cost is approx 50€ each way. The hotel staff tries to get you too book the taxi so they can get a commission and the cost is more. The rooms are on the small side, typical Europe rooms. The air conditioning is controlled by the hotel so if youre there during fall or winter months, you willl have no qir conditioning just because it may be cold outside and the room is very stuffy. There is nothing around the hotel to see or eat. So if you wish to not be stuck with high taxi bills and bad customer service, stay away from this hotel.

Rivoli for roamin'

Above every other comment here please know that the complementary breakfast is the absolute best at Hotel Rivioli with fresh baked pastry and cakes, eggs, pancetta, fruit, and enough to make a lunch or late night meal to keep in your 'frig! It is an elegant facility that reflects the opulence of travel of a by-gone era which is somewhat obscured due to what must be insurance concerns from the Best Western take-over. Apparently the all-marble interiors which have been covered with carpeting and wall fabric, although tastefully done, must've eliminated slippery issues. The bathroom probably had a tub which must have been replaced with a lovely modern curved shower that unfortunately leaks - ironically creating very slippery marble in the one place it remains. The location is a bit removed from the main sights but is a couple of blocks from the Bourghese Gardens which was reviving in a city that is mostly cobblestone. Final note, the hotel works with a car service that (for less than $60 for both of us) got us to Fiucimo in under an hour and avoided getting our (now stuffed) carry-ons and back-packs onto the bus and train for the same amount. Thank you Hotel Rivoli!

Bar is very basic only does two cocktails and five Euros for a bottle of beer eight Euros for a gin and tonic. Only very basic bar food available no full restaurant but grand for a quick snack sambo or small . Hotel is spotless well maintained has a nice seating area outside with relaxing seats if you wish to just chill out.

Great service

The service in this hotel was very good. They were very helpful throughout our stay. It is only walking distance from the metro stop and it well connected from that point.

Lovely little hotel

Off a side street close to villa borghese. Bed v comfy and breakfast with lots of choice- waiting on staff could be more cheerful and helpful. short tram to Rome centre and nice restaurants within 6 min walk. Staying again before we leave Rome

Quiet and Relaxing

I booked this hotel mainly for the reasonable price, and it priced this way because it is off the beat and path of the Rome tourist attractions. It not fancy in terms of room service and hotel services, but it is clean and charming. The room is basic, but it has everything you need if you are looking for a place to lay your head at night and is very comfortable a bit small, but I would assume most rooms in Rome aren't much bigger. This hotel does not dissappoint or suprise it as advertised a beautiful little gem of hotel with no extras.

Rivolutionary hotel

Great hotel for the price. Fabulous breakfast. The location is a bit off the beaten track, but that may be an advantage for some. Highly recommended.

Difficult to find

We only stayed one night at end of vacation, but it was very difficult to find. It may have a street address, but it is really an alley. We arrived Terminii train station and followed hotel directions to take bus 192. We asked bus driver where we should get off and he had no idea where hotel was. A passenger tried to help. We were near the hotel so got off bus and got directions from other people but walked around 30 min with luggage before we found it. If you decide to stay here spend the E15 for a taxi! Our room was attractive, bathroom large but black marble made it too dark. Had large bathtub with shower hose, but no shower curtain or door. It was difficult taking shower without soaking the bathroom. Had to leave early to catch flight so can't comment on breakfast. Hotel construction didn't bother us as just there 1 night. Construction actually helped us find it as I had seen comments posted about it.

Hotel was adequate.

The next time we visit Rome, Italy, this hotel will not be the first one on our list of choices of hotels to stay at.

Great Hotel

Good Hotel, very comfortable, just a bit too far out of Rome. It is in a local neighbourhood, with not a lot to do nearby. About a 20 minute walk to nearest Rome attractions and underground.

Hotel building site

Not good to arrive and find scaffolding around 2/3 of hotel and our balcony and window not accessible or useable - we had to find this out for ourselves. The bedroom was claustrophobic and noisy. Our request to be moved to another room was refused on arrival but we were moved the following morning. Breakfast food was limited - poor choice of cereals for healthy eaters and very thin, greasy bacon. Hotel location is a bit far from most tourist areas but bus stop quite close. Local train about 400 metres with one stop to kink into metro.

Look elsewhere

This hotel has its priorities mixed up. The entrance, lobby and hallways are marble and look all nice. Staff are friendly and understand English. The mix up is that they have spent their money on all this stuff but not the rooms.

The room we stayed in was old with a slight smell in the air when we first entered. The decor is outdated but we didn't mind that. The bathrooms hot water was erratic and we couldn't even hang the shower head anywhere. You cannot sleep in as from 8.30am to 4.30pm there is construction work on the outside of the building. Sleeping on the floor would have been better for our backs but we don't trust how dirty the floor is. Even my wife bought slippers to not touch the floor. The wifi on the first floor had a terrible signal.

The upside was that the staff were really friendly and assisted us in many matters (early breakfast, tours.)

we enjoyed our stay

It was the second stay in this hotel after our two days away to Napoli. Great feeling of coming home when we got back. Retrieved our bags, run a hot bath and get a good night sleep. Next morning had a nice breakfast, checkout and taxi arrived in 2 minutes. Great service and also nice yalks with reception staff. We will be happy to stay again when we come again to Rome.

Worst hotel we have ever stayed in!

When you walk in to the hotel it looks like it was last redecorated during the end of the Roman Empire, it looks tatty and cheap. The lift was tiny and you could only get one suitcase in at a time but nothing could prepare you for the room.
Although the room was clean enough it was very aged, with fabric on the walls it looked dated. There was dust on the lamps and walls as well, it just looked tired. There was the bonus of a balcony but because the hotel was being renovated, all you could hear was drilling. The thing that made the room unbearable was the bathroom, it just looked dirty. The shower head holder was broken and you couldn't really get a decent shower as a result. The bath looked like it had not been cleaned since their last visitors. You couldn't believe that this was a four star hotel.
The bed was two singles joined together and it was was not to the standard you'd expect in the UK. When we went for breakfast in the morning the buffet layout was very disappointing but it wasn't just us that thought this, everyone who came down to breakfast seemed to have the same reaction. During our stay it was uncanny, every day you could see who the newcomers were, they would take a look and you could see that they weren't sure it wasn't a joke. Scrambled eggs looked gross, with undercooked bacon, and to top it off at one point they were offering green beans for breakfast, which not only looked overlooked but was soggy and unappetising. Not a single offer for coffee.

Not suitable, if you are a tourist

This hotel is not accessible through any public transport, esp by train. We stayed here during summer and got baked in reaching the nearest metro station. The room is standard for this class of hotel. As a tourist, it is better to stay in a location closer to the station.

Good hotel with friendly staff but small rooms

Hotel is a little bit out of the way but it was only 15mins by bus to/from Termini station and 10 mins to Barberini Piazza so it wasn't a problem.

We were originally given a very small room and the air conditioning didn't work well and on complaining they showed us a number of rooms in the lower floor which were much larger and had been aircon. Did get the feeling, however, that most of the rooms on the upper floors were the same size as our first room which was very small.

They did a very good selection buffet breakfast. They only served very basic evening meals and wouldn't deviate from it so you'd have to travel into the centre as there are no restaurants near the hotel.

The staff were very helpful and friendly which was what made our stay enjoyable despite the bad start.

Keep your expectations low

Stayed there for 4 nights in Jul 2013 practically no air cobditiobing, very poor internet. Cannot buy public tranportation tickrts at or near the hotel sas there are no machines to buy tickets from.
A tobacco shop sells it but is never open.
Restaurants around the hotel are expensive and serve bad quality food, so much for italisn cooking.
Do not, repeat DO NOT expect Canadian standard of living and life style.
Be ready to hop in a cab when you wanna get back to you hotel in a jiffy.
Hotel reception staff make minimum effort to explain transit system. Discover it on your own or keep asking repeatedly till you get it.
In a nut shell expensive town with low standards.

Great staff, easy location

Everything was great with the hotel except the was no parking and the parts of the hotel was being refurbished. The location was ok. We had to get on the local bus which we waited for about 40 min.(only downfall) from there we got on the train and we were able to get anywhere. If your looking for the Hard Rock it is on the same bus route. The parking garage we used was a 3 min walk just two streets over.

Great Hotel

We booked this hotel on advice from friends. We were not disappointed. Room was great as was staff. There is some construction going on at the hotel but did not impact us on the weekend stay. Hotel recommended a restaurant close by and it is a jewel. The hotel is walking distance to Villa Borghese but and is a little our from Colosseum etc . Bus service is easy.

I just loved my stay there. The hotel was a little bit far away from the main attractions but there was convenient transportation. Buy Roma Pass and take bus 910 from Termini Station to get to the hotel.

Not too shabby!

The shower made no sense what so ever. It was really hot or cold and there was no shower curtain. We basically had a waterfall in the bathroom. Other than that, it is close to a bus stop, a little ways out of town so you avoid the crazy traffic. Kind of a pain to get to if you ride the bus, sometimes the buses took forever. Parking was pretty ridiculous near the hOverall not a bad place!

''Escape the hustle and bustle''

The hotel is situated in a largely residential area of Rome, so be prepared for a walk into the city! Finding the shortcuts, using public transport or driving is a must! However, it was nice to escape the hustle and bustle at the end of the day. The staff were very helpful and friendly, especially the reception staff. The exterior of the hotel was covered in scaffolding but the interior was very well presented. The rooms were clean and comfortable, if a little over heated! All in all, a very pleasant hotel amid a city renowned for chaos and noise.
