We loved the location of this hotel. Because of its proximity to Santa Maria Maggiore and Termini station, we could get literally anywhere in the city by train, bus, or hop-on-hop-off bus. The basilica is gorgeous at sunset and lit up at night and a trip to the roof bar is a must, although I would not recommend the restaurant which was overpriced with terrible service. The front desk staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel is older and a little shabby and the rooms are tiny, but charming and very clean. If you plan on spending a lot of time in your room or want to be in the middle of the Roman nightlife, this is not your place. We loved that it was tucked away a bit and thoroughly enjoyed our daily cappuccino with a view of the basilica.

Efficient and friendly check in. Staff friendly. Room was quite tired and dated. Lovely rooftop bar and restaurant but needed use of stairs to reach. On arrival, we were told where we were allowed to sit. Hotel seemed to prioritise customers who had booked for dinner over hotel customers. Breakfast ok but had to wait 15-20 minutes each morning to get coffee. Hotel is in a great position with eating and drinking options nearby

I chose this hotel due to its 4 stars & location. Although I knew it was old style nothing prepared us for it's outdated rooms, overall faded grandeur and the misplaced grandioisity of the staff. Breakfast was okay but dinner did not impress and was quite bland. In summary the rooms are outdated and the carpets, furniture and all fittings have seen better days. The bathroom fittings are evidently old and our shower was caked in black mould and took a long time to drain...it was quite disgusting. I would not recommend this hotel. Just to note the rooftop bar and restaurant can only be accessed by four sets of stairs which is not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.

Nice hotel. Service oriented, friendly and helpful staff. Loved the terraced bar, where we also had our breakfast. The hotel probably could do with some updating.

I would have thought this hotel was much older than it is- outdated fixtures, poor water pressure in the shower, leaky sink, grungy carpet in the hallways and stairs. No smart TV, just a small 14 inch (ish) that only has only Italian stations. The majority of the front desk staff needs a course in basic civility. The breakfast however, was awesome with an incredible view.

デラックスダブルルームに2024年7月に2泊しました。最上階の5階でサンタマリアマッジョーレ大聖堂が正面に見え、窓からの景色は最高でした。バスタブもバスローブも用意されていました。エアコンはよく効くのですが、少しさむくなったのでスイッチをオフにしてもしばらくすると自動でオンになっていました。使いませんでしたが、湯沸かしポットとインスタントコーヒーやティーバッグもありました。近くにはスーパーマーケットもあるし、飲食店も多く、安価な衣料品店もありました。朝食は最上階で屋内と屋外の席がありますが、屋内からでも見晴らしはとても良い感じでした。朝食自体の内容ですが、緑色の生野菜も少しあり助かりました。屋上の朝食会場はは夜はBarになるようでしたが、金曜日の夜は1:00AMぐらいまで床を踏み鳴らす音が響きわたり、ちょっと眠れませんでした。木曜日はそれほど騒がしかったという印象がないので週末だけの騒ぎかもしれません。週末の宿泊で早めに就寝する方は、最上階より4階以下のほうがよいかもしれません。大聖堂側を遮る建物はないので、4階以下でも見晴らしはそれほど変わらないと思います。スタッフも親切で、東洋人だからといって差別的な態度を取られることもなかったと思います。総合的にはとてもおすすめできるホテルです。

Room much smaller than expected, photos and description deceptive - no double sink or nice view despite paying more for a premium room on high floor. Most inconvenient lack of plug sockets - the couple available after unplugging phone and tv were ancient looking with three small pins in a row - NOT standard 2-pin Italy/Europe sockets. Roof bar a complete rip off - €25 for cocktails and €10 for coke or water. Breakfast was nice. Location okay - Maria maggiore just over the road and colosseum 20 mins walk - but everything else was quite far to walk.

The single room was very small. I was given a room on the first floor and when I asked for a room on a higher floor, I was begrudgingly given one on the third floor. The breakfast as very good, as was the breakfast service, but the restaurant and bar service was snooty, slow, and unresponsive. When I complained to the front desk, they just shrugged it off. I would not go back.

Wonderful location, very walkable area. The short grey haired woman behind the desk was very rude and was never nice. We asked her if we could borrow an adapter and she said the hotel never loans those out because people steal them. Our friend also staying in the hotel was then loaned one from another hotel staff. This woman is losing that hotel business. I will not stay here again because of her behavior. Breakfast was very nice overlooking the city from the rooftop terrace. Nice hotel but not worth the money when you have staff that are not accommodating whatsoever. Sorry Mecenate Palace, never again.

We had booked this hotel because it was fairly close to the main train station, which we ended up not using, but it was still a good location - close enough to the Colosseum and a short taxi ride to popular areas such as the Spanish steps. We loved the buffet breakfast, which always had a great variety to choose from, and the views from the rooftop restaurant can't be beat!

Wonderful complementary breakfast at the rooftop restaurant. Our deluxe queen room overlooked the Basillica Santa Maria de Maggiore and square where there was mass every night outside! We felt very safe here. Our room was large with double sinks. There's a great gelato shop right next door with several small restaurants around the square. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. They arranged an airport van for our airport return (e60 in cash). The driver was early. We would definitely stay here again. 😊
