A great hotel in a great location. We visited with our 8 year old grandson and he absolutely loved it - especially the pool and also our hot tub. Our garden suite was a bit of a trek from reception but so so worth the walk. Lots of room to spread out with a large lounge and huge bathroom. The pool was large with a fair number of loungers and seats and the pool bar team worked hard to look after all the guests. I had seen a few comments that service was slow but our experience was very positive. Breakfast was great with a large selection of hot and cold dishes and again service was attentive and friendly. We dined in the bistro twice and the food there was also excellent. If you’re coming to Rome with children I’d put this at the top of your list! It’s not cheap but it is value for money.

We had an outstanding stay at Gran Meliá. The staff and hospitality is exemplary. The location is great and pool is exceptional as well. Staff members are always cheerful and helpful. 10/10 would recommend and definitely come back. A big shout out to Marisa and Hasan.

A lesser known gem. What a surprise to find this beautiful oasis in the city of Rome. The pool is fantastic and the public spaces all beautiful, in keeping with the Roman surroundings. All of the service is very friendly and efficient. It is well situated right over the river near Vatican City. The restaurants are also great
