Hotel dei Mellini

Dei Mellini has been a wonderful place in several ways. It's staff, ambiance, the spacious rooms and its location close to the Vatican, the Tiber and many of the places you want to see in Rome is just perfect for someone eager to explore Rome on foot. Go out and eat like the locals or for some early runs along the Lungotevere, it is an ideal place that I highly recommend.

Based on a Superior Double Room, the price and the reviews, our experience was quite disappointing. The room was particularly small, as was the bathroom. No ventilation in the bathroom and not much space to hang towels which meant that they didn't dry! Breakfast was OK but items were not replenished very frequently so they ran out of Orange Juice, milk, Coffee, Fruit salad, cheese, etc. and these weren't replenished quickly, even when asked for. Location was good for the Vatican and not too far from the centre, despite being across the river in the Prati district.

Beautifully located hotel near all the popular sights. Angelo on reception at our arrival made us feel very welcome and was very friendly and jovial. In fact, all of the staff that we met were very motivated, professional but really personable. They really went out of their way to make our 4 night stay a truly positive and memorable experience. Our room (double superior) was a good size, comfortable and clean. We had everything that we needed. Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice and and the staff were friendly and willing to accommodate our needs and preferences. We were sorry to have to check out at the end of our stay and could have easily stayed for another 2 or 3 nights. Once again, Angelo made the check out experience feel seamless, although I was surprised by the 60 Euro Local Tax added to the bill, which has definitely significantly risen, since our last visit to Rome in 2012. All in all a great stay and would highly recommend this hotel. We look forward to our next visit.

My sister and I stayed here for a short 4 day trip to Rome. The staff were wonderful, the breakfast delivered everything you would hope for in a really good buffet. I fact it was difficult making the right choices as the pastries look delicious!! The rooms are very clean. We took advantage of the roof top terrace which is also very pleasant. Would stay again and recommend

The lovely warm welcome from the receptionist and her taking the time to talk us through the local attractions with the free map located in reception and pointing the best route and explaining everything was within a 45 minute walk was a great start to our trip
