The staff were very courteous and attentive. Always at your service with smile. The hotel in general is gorgeous. My room was super clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was like having Sunday brunch on a fancy hotel. Every single employee fulfill my expectations. Congratulations to the General Manager, you have an amazing team.

The room in which we were initially placed had only one armchair, and the mattress was terrible as it folded into the middle. The interior was dated and the room was small. We requested a new room because of the mattress and the second room was nicer with bathroom upgrades, two armchairs, and a new mattress.

The breakfast dining area is located in the basement and there is a distinct and strong musty odor in the area. It is quite unpleasant.

The staff was excellent and assisted us as best they could. They were responsive to our needs and took time to make our stay comfortable.

Love the hotel. The staff, out of this world friendly and helpful. The hotel itself in great condition and very charming. The only problem is the location. If you want to stay outside of the old city, you will love it. Otherwise it’s a good 30-40 minute hike or a good $20-$60 Uber ride each way. I would highly recommend this hotel to someone who has rented a car or has business in that particular area.

Wonderful stay in Rome

Hotel Lord Byron is a wonderful hotel in Rome. We had a four night stay there in March and thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Location - in the Parioli district, just north of the Borghese Gardens. You’re not in the thick of the hustle & bustle of the city, but we loved that about it. It’s a 15 min walk to the Spanish steps through the gardens, which in itself is beautiful. It was really easy to get a taxi for trips a bit further afield or when we were feeling lazy!

Room - we had a superior room overlooking the front courtyard of the hotel. The art deco style is evident throughout the hotel and maintained in the rooms - it was like being on a Gatsby set, we loved it. The bed was incredibly comfy and of a good size. The bathroom was marble throughout and felt very indulgent.

Breakfast - the breakfast was one of the best things about the hotel. It was of a continental style, with plenty of buffet options to choose from, but the kitchen would also make things like omelettes/eggs Benedict etc to order if you so wished. It was also a real treat to have silver cutlery and china crockery for every meal! The breakfast is taken downstairs in another sumptuous dining room - it’s on basement level but does not feel dark or dingy, like you sometimes experience in smaller hotels. The coffee was incredible too!

Service - the hotel staff are impeccably attentive. From our initial greeting to check out, all of the staff made us feel very welcome. They speak excellent English too!

This property doesn’t have good customer service and it’s not a 5 star hotel. 5 star is St. Regis. They don’t care about your money. Read the negative review. I experienced it. They refused to refund me for a valid reason and their hotel partners even called then about how bad it was and they should refund me. They refused. Everyone says the rooms are outdated, service is terrible and they overcharged and I believe that. American Express has called this hotel on my behalf, Hyatt hotels, Chase, and others and they still refuse. Don’t stay here. Expedia wasn’t helpful either.

The staff was exceptional!! I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff was - from the breakfast waiters who greeted us every morning to the front desk that helped us book tickets (even when no tickets were available). The hotel offered a boutique style experience. Great breakfast and great amenities. The room was very comfortable and refreshed every day. The only thing that would have made it more wonderful is if there was a small restaurant/grocery store nearby.

Don't Stay In The Basement.

We booked a family room that had adjoining door, so we'd be close together, but still maintain our privacy. Unfortunately the rooms were located in the basement which had a damp smell and must not be completely sealed from the outdoors, as we noticed an ant infestation in one room, and we found a small slug in the other room complete with slime trail. This even happened without us opening the windows. I also noticed a patch of what appeared to be black mold in our bathroom, which is not only unsafe to breathe, but also disgusting. It was not the luxury experience we are used to, or had hoped for.

Other than those issues, the staff were all friendly, and the breakfast was decent, and we had lunch on the first day, which was pretty good. Its located in an area of Rome that isn't so close to the monuments, and I'm going to stay closer to city center next time. Also, there is no real connection to Lord Byron, and the Art Deco decor is less period, but more 1980's deco inspired which was disappointing. Overall, it was ok, but anyone reading this should request a room on one of the upper floors.

NOT THE SAME AS THE PHOTOS

NOT THE SAME AS THE PHOTOS!
The hotel is dilapidated. Book just 1 night to try out if you wish to see it with your eyes - Beware that the hotel denied my request for refund after I left after 1 night.
I booked 3 nights. Upon arrival, I was disappointed already with the condition of the hotel - on my estimate, partly renovated several years ago and partly dating back to a decade or so. The furniture had scratches and worn-off marks everywhere. The mirror was physically eroded and stained. Had only instant coffee on the table - all facilities the equivalent of a 3-star motel.
On my first night, I was woken up by the noise from next room from 12 am to 1 am. Surely something can be said of unbecoming behaviours, but I would not expect this kind of experience in a 5-star hotel. Called front desk but essentially nothing could be done apart from asking the other guests.
The very next day I asked to check out and asked if I could have refund of the 2 nights I would not stay - the hotel told me that it was only because I booked through hotels.com so that they could only deal with the request from the platform. After I came back and asked platform for refund, the hotel denied it even though they apologised for my disappointing experience. You are not appologetic, so do not pretend it - I wish the 200 something usd I wasted on you is the last money you could trick people into paying.

The hotel is in a very pleasant and quiet residential area just outside the city limits and very close to the National Gallery of Modern Art, the Borghese Gallery and Gardens/Park, and the Zoo. This is a fantastic location for relaxing in after returning from the tourist filled ancient city centre attractions. Both the Hotel and the staff are extremely pleasing - the hotel exudes a cultured air and has a sense of stately calm and grandeur. The staff are very willing and helpful in all manners. The restaurant food is prepared well and delicious but the choice is not large and there is a small wine list. Our room was a suite. It was spacious and like the rest of the hotel had a 1920s feel to it although a bit ‘tired’ in appearance. The bathroom was big - double sink, lots of marble, with separate shower and wc. The suite is advertised as panoramic. This meant that it had 3 windows on different aspects but the view through one window was obscured (the glass was permanently fogged). The bed was queen sized but just...divine. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
