Mecenate Palace Hotel

The hotel is situated a short walk from the main Termini Train Station which is very handy for the train from the airport (which takes 30 minutes and costs 14 Euros). It is a traditional style hotel with a lovely roof top bar and restaurant with great views. We booked a superior double which was surprisingly small but ok. I had specified a king size bed and I am not sure it was as it looked small as well but we managed. Nice powerful shower and hook behind door for my shower cap. Some products provided and nice towels. Breakfast was the usual buffet and had a good selection with nice coffee. Staff were friendly and helpful. Note that everything in the room mini bar is charged – even water. This hotel fulfilled our requirements for a city break in Rome and had everything we needed.

Russell at the restaurant was absolutely amazing. He’s literally a one-man show from the beginning to the end. Thank you for making our meals spectacular

Not a 4 star hotel!!! More a 2 star. Hotel greeting was not friendly, welcoming or cordial to Anericans. Hotel Needs a major renovation. Lobby had a sewer odor, room was so small that we could not open 1 suitcase and we had 2 large suitcases. Felt like a closet and we backed up to an elevator that was noisy all the time. Bathroom fixtures rusty. Breakfast was $20 per person and if you wanted waffle or anything substantial it was extra. Had to walk a flight of spiral stairs to get to the food. Elevator did not go there!? Our Room was dusty, curtains dingy gray, and 3x we expressed our thermostate was not working. Never corrected. Avoid this one that was overpriced and a disappointment....definitely not worth the money and it is not a palace!!!

In April of 2026 my wife and I stayed for six days at the Mecenate Palace in Rome. It was a beautiful experience. The rooms were European great (fabric wall coverings, high ceilings, great windows/views, a bidet, and a large bathroom). It is a great central location with many street shops, restaurants, stores, parks and basilicas within short walking distance. The staff was friendly and responsive. A great classic lounge with inside and outside seating at the street level. The highlight was the rooftop view/seating with a great bar and restaurant. This is where a wonderful breakfast buffet was served every morning and every evening closed out with a glass of wine while taking in the beautiful view. The food at the restaurant was first class. This was an important trip for us (50th anniversary) so I wanted it to be perfect. It was!

Amazing hotel service was amazing went down street and bumped into Russel @ the downstairs bar area, menu looked amazing pricing was also great once seated in the nice cozy red seated area we fell in love with the whole experience food and cocktails blew me away
