Hotel Splendide Royal

We stayed in Rome for 2 nights before heading to Tuscany just before the Pope’s funeral. We really enjoyed this elegant and quiet hotel which was a short walk from the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. It was very comfortable, clean, and staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Our only less positive comment was the cost of a light lunch in the Mirabelle restaurant. We had 2 very artistically presented courses (one of which was a green salad) and a glass of wine each and the cost of our lunch was almost 400 euros! While the view of the Vatican and the skyline were stunning, we found the price tag rather shocking. We were happy with a whirlwind 3 hour golf cart tour arranged by the hotel to allow us access to view many sights with minimal walking. I was also very appreciative of reservations agent, Claudia, who helped resolve a booking issue prior to our arrival. All in all, we would recommend the hotel for a stay in Rome but would suggest a drink on the roof bar to enjoy the view rather than a very pricey lunch. There are many restaurants in the vicinity outside the hotel to choose from.

The Splendide Royal Hotel in Rome is a lovely hotel rhat’s walking distance from Fontana di Trevi. The rooms are big, beautiful and traditionally decorated with nice to haves like black-out courtains and the most comfortable beds. Personnel were friendly and always helpful. 5/5

This hotel is magic. There were a few small issues which I will mention but overall our stay was excellent. We travel all over the world, Bali every year, US, Maldives, Europe, Switzerland and many other places. We nearly always pick our hotels by reading reviews. We love the St Regis hotels and Relais group also. We picked the Splendide Royal for its location primarily and the rooftop terrace. However when we checked in we were told that the rooftop terrace was not available for Saturday and Sunday night due to a private function. We were very disappointed by this. Thankfully we were staying another two nights so were able to use it. But if we had only been there for the weekend it would have been a disaster! Our room was fabulous and the bed super comfy. Bathroom was lovely too. Air con worked perfectly. However for a 5 star hotel, there was no coffee machine in the room. This is the first time this has happened in all our travels. So we ended up each morning going out of the hotel for a coffee before our day of exploring. The staff are fantastic, very professional. The guys on the front door are superb....their welcome back to the hotel was so genuine and they were always smiling. Unfortunately we had one encounter on the Sunday afternoon. We had friends who had been staying at the hotel also and we wanted to have a drink with them at the bar upstairs before they left. The staff member was rude and very arrogant. We explained that there were 4 of us..he said 'We are very busy so I do not know if I can give you a table'. Eventually he 'found' a table outside. There were many many empty tables both inside and outside. This was around 4pm. We met our friends and had drinks. We stood up to say goodbye fully intending to stay ourselves and have another drink but we were handed the bill so felt unwelcome. This was quite offputting and we were very upset initially but the rest of the staff were fantastic. We used the rooftop terrace on two nights and the staff there were so nice. There is only one bar available if the rooftop terrace is unavailable and it is inside beside the restaurant and can get busy. I would recommend this hotel highly but I guess if I was booking it for a short trip I would ask if the rooftop terrace was available.

I am currently sat in our beautiful spacious room and we are very sad to be checking out tomorrow. We have had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to come back and stay again. Location is awesome and all major attractions are walkable or a short taxi ride away if you not happy to get your steps in. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful from the moment we checked in. The restaurant was very nice and again staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Roof top bar was a great place to end the evening and the staff was very attentive. Only one very small critique is the breakfast buffet, and this is purely a personal preference and would not stop me recommending this place, I would rather be able to order off a menu as the food wasn’t very hot. I will mention that I am a fan of breakfast so please note it was very acceptable offerings. Today was international women’s day and we came back from sightseeing where I was greeted by a bunch of beautiful flowers and a handwritten note which was really appreciated and beyond what I expected, so thank you to everyone who arranged this. Look forward to seeing you all again soon

Camera mediocre con moquette sdrucita e vecchia. Servizi incompleti. Ristorante quella sera chiuso e luonge disponibile solo nel pomeriggio ed anche quello chiuso per un evento privato. Nessuno ci aveva avvertito e quando ho chiesto di parlare con un direttore non era disponibile. Non mi sembra adeguato ad un cinque stelle catena the leading ... Cattivo rapporto qualità prezzo. Sconsigliato
