Mecenate Palace Hotel

We arrived at Mecanate Palace Hotel on a special weekend, the burial of Pope Francis. The hotel overlooking Santa Maria Maggiore basilica was easy to find a 5 minute walk from Termini station and within easy walking distance to many tourist sites. Staff on arrival and throughout our stay were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast buffet was really special served on rooftop terrace overlooking Rome. We will definitely return here.

In the old city this is a great place to stay. Lots of restaurants around, with in walking distance to the Colosseum. Staff friendly and accommodating. Roof top restaurant top notch. Just next door is the Santa Maria Basilica. Very much enjoyed our stay at the Hotel

Lovely hotel in a walkable neighborhood close to the train station and several sights. The staff were wonderful. Breakfast was very good and served in the rooftop restaurant. We especially enjoyed the rooftop bar in the evening. Boutique hotel with old world charm and modern conveniences.

We chose this hotel for our 40th wedding anniversary for its location to the Santa Maria Maggiore and its views from the roof terrace. It’s not far, I would say approximately 5 minutes walk from the train terminal where all the buses side stop do its perfect for onward travel and travel to and from the airport. The rooms were clean and tidy albeit a little small. The maid service was excellent. Before we were due to stay I received a message from the hotel about transfers from the airport. We had already booked our transfer for 6 euros. Their transfer was 75 euros, I therefore declined but said we were looking forward to our stay. I did not receive a response. We asked reception for recommendation for an authentic Italian restaurant, the gentleman recommended one not too far away and we went there. Upon sitting down to eat we realised it was definitely not an authentic Italian trattoria. I cannot recall the name but there were quite odd things on the jab like pigs brains…and pigs ribs snd it was owned and run by a Croat. I therefore think that maybe the reception should maybe have a little more knowledge of the local restaurants as this would be an asset. Overall our stay was nice…I would recommend even though we didn’t even get a chocolate on our pillow for our special stay 😂

We spent 4 days at this hotel and couldn’t fault it, apart from the bed which was not very comfortable. The hotel is a bit dated but still has a bit of grandeur, it is very clean and staff are very pleasant. We booked a deluxe double with view of the church which was worth the extra cost, room was small but had everything we needed, nice bathroom and good shower. Breakfast was good, great coffee and attentive staff. The highlight was the rooftop bar, stunning views and fabulous cocktails.
