Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel

The property is absolutely gorgeous, with fantastic amenities and beautifully opulent rooms. The location is quite secluded from the main town, we were aware of that, but it felt a bit more remote than expected. The only downside was a slight musty smell in the rooms.

Diamond members. Was offered upgrade to imperial club for a fee. Received upgraded room on imperial club floor. The imperial club was fantastic and worth the upgrade fee. The Turkish bath, sauna, and cold plunge were amazing!!

Fantastic stay for a couple days before coming in for a cruise. Great staff, room, and grounds. Our balcony view over the city was amazing. Only complaint was after taking a taxi into the city center, the shuttle was VERY difficult to find for the return trip back, if you weren’t already familiar with what the drop off point looked like. The spot the hotel uses is not in a great spot. Would definitely return.

This is my sister's favourite hotel in Italy and now that I've stayed there, I know why. I've been to Italy around 20 times and never been to Rome. This was my first time, and so the Cavalieri was the obvious choice. We were in a King Imperial room on the 7th floor, and being a Hilton Diamond member, had access to the 7th floor executive lounge. This was one of the most opulent and well-staffed and serviced lounges I'd ever been in with a stunning vista over Rome and the Vatican. Truly inspirational. The hotel exudes luxury and all the staff we interacted with in the hotel were excellent. Reception, concierge, door man, everyone was very professional and polite. Breakfast was excellent with a great array of choice and service – my wife enjoyed her daily fresh customised smoothie and the scrambled eggs. We dined the first night in the hotel and the food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and I had some great friendly banter with Imma, who chastised me for putting marsala brandy in my own homemade tiramisu – apparently that is not “true” Italian tiramisu. The hotel tiramisu was lovely. We had one foray to the Spa to use the facilities – not as large as I was expecting, but we enjoyed the steam room and jacuzzi. My wife liked the hotel gym. Note that the hotel is not close to public transport and you can’t walk sensibly down to old city – you need to use the hotel shuttle bus or get taxis. We opted for the latter. I’m sure my wife and I will be back.

I personally don't think this hotel is worth anywhere near the price. I went on a girls work trip, breakfast was included and they charged us breakfast everyday resulting in unnecessary charge of hundreds. One of of our friends rooms had a foul smell, I couldn't even step foot inside without feeling sick. They don't issue an iron to your room, I was told to visit the 9th floor to iron, however your key only works for the floor you are staying on which is so inconvenient for this. There are so many hotels, that are not as pricey I have visited that I think is worth way more. Wouldn't recommend.
