First, they had an amazing breakfast spread! If you're going to be exploring Rome all day a hearty breakfast is important and they did not disappoint. The area was quiet and very safe we were often out walking late. We loved the location- everything seemed to be a 20 minute brisk walk away (or you could take public transportation). The room was clean, bright, warm (we were in November) but also had A/C. They provided lots of toiletries. We stayed for 5 nights and noticed many other patrons stayed here for multiple nights as well. Would recommend this place for sure!

Lovely 4 day break for myself and my partner. It was a lovely, friendly hotel with some seating around the lobby. We used the roof terrace and thoroughky enjoyed it up there. Beds were firm and pillows were lovely and firm too. Some good gluten free options at breakfast and they were all presealed *bread, cakes, cereal* ehich was reassuring for a coeliac.

Very good hotel in a great location. We have stayed here before. But, this time, the AC was really bad. Temp in the room never got below 24 C. I know it was hot in Rome, but not that hot. We asked the staff about it, but they didn't (or couldn't) do anything. It was nice in the lobby, but I don't think they wanted us to sleep there. Really too bad because we like the hotel.

Horrible Experience

Horrible Experience. The air conditioning didn't work on a hot summer day of our arrival for a 2-day pre-paid stay and staff were non-responsive. We called the desk to ask for help and the clerk said he'd come as soon as he finished with a guest. 90 minutes later he hadn't come and we called and he said he couldn't come as he was the only staff on site and would come in an hour. 45 minutes later, we called back, and were told that clerk had left the site. The new clerk came to the room, acknowledged the heat was "unbearable" but couldn't fix the air conditioner. We asked to move to a different room and were told there was no other room. We explained we would check out in the morning and asked for a refund for the 2nd night's stay due needing to leave because of this situation, and were told this made sense, but that the owner needed to authorize it and they couldn't be reached until the following day. Not able to wait to hear because of concern we wouldn't find another place, we reserved another place. We checked out and, ultimately, the owner refused to refund the second night's stay. We texted with Hotels.com during the experience and they were sympathetic, but said that because it was a pre-paid stay, they were dependent on the owner's authorization, and without this wouldn't provide a refund. Beyond this, the rooms were disappointing: cheap mattress, a plastic desk chair that was more like a lawn chair, cheap plastic light fixtures, and a shower drain that backed up.

Shocked that this could possibly be rated a 4 star hotel. The room was tiny, bedding was of the absolute lowest quality, the AC didn’t work. This is a 2.5 star hotel. The location is ok but we still took cabs to get places, despite being big walkers. The breakfast was the only part of our stat that was close to four stars. Shame on Expedia for marketing this hotel as four stars and charging the rate they did. Totally lost faith in booking on Expedia.

Good location. Nice breakfast

A very good buffet breakfast is available. The hotel is close to the river so some pleasant walks to be had. Close by is a very vibrant Piazza, which has a daily market that disappears at the end of the day, so you can enjoy one of the many restaurants there.
We had little room for suitcases (2) as the room is smaller than any shown in the advertising photos. Our showerhead woudlnt stay up, making it a challenge to wash. Our travel companions had a broken fridge, tv and no bathroom light. It took a few days for all of that to be fixed.

Hotel Residenza

Staff was amazing. The first day I felt like family. The front desk was so accommodating. Most of my interaction was with a staff called Irene. She was great. There was nothing she wouldn't help us with when asked.

Staff in the breakfast hall was friendly and also accommodating. The day we left, it was before breakfast started. Simona, who was waitressing the day before said to me, don't worry, I'm here at 6:30 am. You will have breakfast before you leave today.

The street the hotel was located on was very quiet, yet centrally located.

When I go to Rome again, I will be staying at the Hotel Residenza Farnese.

We were welcomed as we were the only one there. The staff was superb. They helped us with all our needs which were directional needs in Rome.

The front desk Irene was fabulous. It was my birthday day during my stay. She realized it because of my date on my passport. She left a bottle of wine for both of us.

She was so kind in every way.

Our breakfast hostess, Simona was fantastic as well. We had to leave early Tuesday morning for our flight. She made sure that we had breakfast waiting for us. Went out of her way. The gentleman we had for breakfast (do't remember his name) had ice ready for my fiance. He tore his acl Ice was ready for him every afternoon.

A boutique hotel in a perfect location

The hotel is pleasant and quiet, even though it is situated in a central location, in the wonderful historic area of Campo di Fiori etc. The design of the hotel is an eclectic mix of styles and eras, but it somehow works. The room was large and basic, but had everything that is needed. The only complaint is that the air conditioning system did not work. Better check if you come here during the summer.

Quiet, convenient location and spotless

We had a lovely stay, the hotel is near the Campo di Fiori where there is a market and the square is surrounded by many places to eat, and it is very close to the river and if you cross the river you are in a lively area full of bars and restaurants, but being by the French Embassy it is in a quiet residential location which suited us. Piazza Navona is within easy reach and everywhere on the tourist map is just about walkable. The staff were lovely and helpful and all spoke excellent English.

This hotel is a thief.

At the end of my stay in August 2016, I asked the concierge to send 4 postcards to Australia for me. He said he would do so for 10 euros.

I handed him over the cash and continued my holiday in Europe.

It is now late November and the postcards never arrived.

I called the hotel to follow up and complain and they advised they would look into it and call me back. I never heard anything from them.

I am appalled. Not only will my family never receive the postcards I put a lot of time into writing, but the concierge pocketed my money.

The fact that I have not heard back since my complaint is disgraceful.

I would stay at this hotel again, especially because the location is great for walking to the major sites. Despite its proximity to major piazzas it was quite at night. The staff is friendly and facilities are very good, but it is "strictly forbidden" to bring any outside food or beverage into the hotel. There is a bar but the hours are very limited and it serves only beverages.

Worst 4 star hotel stay ever!

This was possibly the worst 4 star hotel stay ever. I chose this hotel for it's location and for what seemed to be a lovely period hotel. I had booked a superior double room June 14 to 17, 2016. What a rude awakening. The hotel staff was sullen and unprofessional. They initially put us in room 406 which, while it had a nice view, was a spartan room, the furniture was beat up and the bed was a rattling, uncomfortable metal bed. The pillows were like slabs of marble. We were woken up by the cleaning staff at 6:30 AM the next day as the cleaning room station was adjacent to our room. The following day, we requested a room change and were switched to room 409 which was a much smaller room with respect to room 406. Although the bathroom was updated, there were cracks in the bathroom wall and the water pressure was so poor due to the shower head being completely calcified and to being on the 4th floor. The curtains were snagged and the lampshades badly stained. The walls of the room are paper thin and we could hear everything - conversations, cleaners, etc. The hotel staff manning the breakfast room were highly unprofessional. They had loud disco music on the TV in the room next to the breakfast room; I had to ask them to turn music down! While the choice of food was fairly varied, there was a choice of two jams kiwi and bitter orange in two open bowls. This hotel has serious management and maintenance issues - and should be demoted to a 2 Star hotel. A total rip off!

Authentic Italian Experience

Two minutes from Piazza Campo del' Fiori with its daily market; two minutes from the river (Tevere), then across Siste Ponte to Trastevere. In my view, the atmospheric location of this hotel makes its a great choice, whatever small niggles one may have with the hotel itself. We had considered Hotel Quirinale. Having heard the crazy Italian traffic noise as we passed by it, however, we were glad we'd chosen R in F with its more set back position.
Buffet breakfast was fine, but if you're looking for fine dining or 65 different types of bread, then go elsewhere. Staff: great. I would have liked a slightly bigger room, but it's possible that I booked a standard, and maybe I should have gone for a superior? There are some very spacious rooms. Lovely massive roof terrace which opens on May 1st.
Overall, a great, full-on Italian experience. Mi è piaciuto molto.

Good but a bit small and loud

I may be a bit critical since my expectations are based on american experiences. This hotel was tidy, pretty, staff was nice and very accomodating. They loaned us a couple converters which was very kind. Our room was small. Perhaps by American standards. Bed was also small for 2 average sized adults, we should've reserved a larger bed so maybe that's my fault. The bathroom/shower was very nice and new and the bed was very comfortable despite its size. My biggest complaint is the amount of street noise in the middle of the night. There were Italian military and late night people making all kinds of extremely loud noise that disturbed us multiple times both nights during our stay. The location was perfect though, so I guess by staying in a busy, happening area means late night noise on a Fri/Sat. Good hotel but I'd probably take my chances and try another spot next time. We paid $209 nt.

Average accommodation but nicely located

Residenza Farnese is located ideally close to many Rime central attractions.
i have been in overall unhappy of two things:
1- The room window was being opened to rubishcollection area where the collection car was making lots of noise every night

2- At the check out I was told that I have to pay extra 48 Euro in cash only for city tax! Regardless to such bizzare tax, receiving payment in cash only is not right when the guests are from all over the world and prefer to pay such payments by card.
So after 10 mins of my resistance receptionist accepted to receive payments by cash.
Please don't give me any reason such as cost of payment collection etc to justify cash only payment.

Great hotel located near Campo di Fiori so easy access to many places of interest. Quiet street and easy to find. Very friendly and helpful staff and they made the effort to welcome us and help out with any questions.

Excellent location

This hotel is within walking distance to all the main sights of central Rome, yet is in a relatively quiet area.
The rooms are small, as per the usual European design when in old section of a city. The breakfast was excellent, and had a great selection of hot and cold items, again in the European style. There is a lovely rooftop terrace, although it was a little neglected since we were there late in the season.

Totally overrated for a 4* hotel, rather 3*. Overpriced for value. Tiny room for singles (2*). Terrible furniture and decoration. Old and stuffy. But great location. Very poorly sound-proofed.

The conditions of the rooms are not the best.

We had to complain 3 times about a rare smell in our room to get a new one. We slept 2 nights with this problem and the people at the front desk were not even concern to help us with this.

Handy for all the sites

Friendly staff helped to make our stay better. The room was comfortable and a fair size. Plenty of storage space to hang clothes. Aircon was good and not too noisy.

Great location in a charming setting.

The Residenza is ideally located for a tourist.Convenient to great restaurants and tourist sites with the delightful fruit band vegetable market close at hand-Piazza Farnese, great night activities at Campo del Fiore. The hotel staff is helpful and the rooms are kept clean. The breakfast is not very exciting but the cappuccinos abound. The rooms are small and the views unspectacular. For the outstanding location everything else is quite ok especially given the reasonable price.

It's all about location location!!!!

The hotel itself was decent, clean room and bathroom. The room we had was on a small side and the bed was one of those firm spring mattress but it was clean. They provide decent selection for breakfast and the staff were very friendly. The best bit about the hotel is the location. It's on the quiet corner, yet you are only 30 seconds away from campo de fiore. We pretty much walk everywhere with collessuem only 20 mins gentle walk away. Great place for a short city break.

Great central hotel

This hotel was in a great central location, walking distance to all the main sites. It only took us 5-10 min to walk to the Pantheon and Palazza Navrona, and 30 min walk to the Vatican and Colosseum. There were plenty of local restaurants (but only one bar) so you have to make it clear if you only want a drink. Our hotel room was a medium size with en-suite. It was clean but the mini fridge did not work properly, after reporting this three times we gave up! The general decor of the hotel has an eclectic feel utilising old furniture, plates and decoration throughout. Breakfast was great with a selection of cold meats, cheeses, cereals, yoghurt, coffee and teas.
Drinks in the hotel are cheaper than elsewhere (except the supermarkets) but the bar does not open long enough in the evenings (7:30 - 9:00) so we only used it just before we went out, which was a shame.
If we return to Rome we would use this hotel again
