What guests think

At Hotel Farnese, travellers highlight a quiet, convenient base near the Lepanto metro and Vatican, generally friendly service, classic rather than modern interiors, and value the neighborhood, while noting occasional cleanliness lapses and aspects of the aging building.

Rooms range from charming with balconies and comfortable beds to small basement units with dated fixtures, plumbing quirks, and occasionally weak air conditioning. Breakfast is frequently praised for variety and a pleasant rooftop setting, but several reviews describe poor quality, cramped space, and inconsistent service. Overall, it suits travelers who prefer character over modern polish.

Great location, classic feel Hotel Farnese is in a very walkable area and close to a train station, which made it easy for us to explore. We were even able to run from the hotel to the Colosseum, Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain at night. The place isn’t modern, it’s more quaint and traditional. And smaller than I expected, but it was a decent stay overall. My favorite part was seeing the owner’s dog, Heidi, every morning. That little touch made it feel homey. Receptionists were friendly.

Hotel Farnese is a nice small hotel in a quiet area. It is an older property but it is kept in good condition and the staff are very friendly and helpful. A great convenience is the included breakfast; it is buffet style and they provide a good variety of options (i.e. more than a 'continental breakfast'). Also, the hotel is close enough to the popular tourist spots that we walked to them. Most were a 20-30 minute walk. The only time we took a taxi was when we went to the Colosseum. Our stay was for six nights and we are quite happy with our hotel choice.

The decor inside was a bit tired. The plumbing needs updating. Everytime the toiket was flushed, it made such a liud noice when filling up the water tank. There was no visable or obvious fure escape route fron the breakfast area on the roof terrace.

Advertisement pictures do not reflect how how and outdated this facility is. Elevator sounded like it would not support the weight of the passenger. Shower did not drain properly and the one side faucet would not turn off which caused flooding. Room smelled stale. Obvious attempts to refurbish but much left to be desired. No updated European charger outputs. Would not recommend for the price.

This hotel is best avoided; it felt like a dungeon. Our room had an unpleasant smell and was plagued with mold. The surroundings were dated, and the aging AC couldn't adequately cool the room. When we requested a refund, the manager showed a complete lack of concern. Consequently, we decided to leave, incurring a loss of 250 Euro. We hope that Expedia will assist us in resolving this matter.

It did not feel like a 4 start hotel. We arrived an hour after check-in time and our room was not ready. The staff wasn’t the most welcoming. They did nothing to enhance our experience. Breakfast was okay. Overall, we were a bit disappointed as the hotel looks beautiful from the outside but the interior is very old. Let’s just say we have stayed at better 4 start hotels.
