Reviews for The Westin Excelsior Rome
The Real Grand Dame of Rome
My family and I have been returning to this hotel since the 90s. While the hotel herself has been through many changes since then, the one thing that has remained constant is the warmth of the staff. The roman experience and the hotel herself would never felt complete without them. Warm thanks to Marco from Ischia for his sincere and kind help, Signor Roberto the night concierge, and a lobby staff from Artena that I couldn't not remember his name but was kind enough to help me when I needed assistance during my last day of stay there. Last but never least, the talented Luca di Francia. The true artist behind the bar who was always a good friend, making me feel like I had truly come home every time I visited Rome (not to mention the beautifully crafted drinks he curated for us).

A perfect stay from start to finish, staff went above and beyond expectations.
We have stayed at the Westin Excelsior 15 times ,on every visit to Rome, and it is always an absolutely wonderful experience in everyway. The Westin is in a great location, with old world elegance and charm. The service is exceptional starting from the greeting of the doormen to welcoming reception staff,and continues through housekeeping, dining room, the cocktail lounge, and all the many amenities offered. The rooms are immaculate, spacious, & well appointed. Sleeping is easy with quiet rooms, beautiful linens & comfortable beds. Their breakfast buffet is abundant and beautifully presented in a comforatble dining room or lovely outdoor area. The staff is outstanding for being highly professional and also very welcoming . They acknowledge and appreciate Marriott members for their loyality. We look forward to our stay at the Westin for the hotel itself, equal to our visit to beautiful Rome.

2-3 star hotel at best
We were at the Westin Excelsior for 2 days in April. We were not at all impressed. The Westin Excelsior is old, dated and worn out. It has seen better days. The huge hotel has grand elements and one can envision its past glory days but they are long past. Now, you find faded and outdated furniture, stained carpets, dirty bathrooms, cracking paint and masonry. chipped wood and a quickly deteriorating appearance. Not only has the physical property of the hotel deteriorated but the staff are also old, decrepit and worn out. There are angry middle age men at the front desk and the concierge who have an jaded attitudes and with their hands out, always looking for a tip. Not once did they open the door for my wife or any other guests as they entered the building but stood around chatting with each others. If this hotel did not have its location on Via Veneto, it would be a 2-3 star hotel at best and NOT a 5 star. I would not stay there again and would not recommend to anyone else.

An experience fit for royalty
This hotel is nothing but old school perfection. Let's start with the staff. They were outstanding from check in to check out. The manager even escorted us to the upgraded room. scratch that. Make that the upgraded palace. the bathroom was nothing short of elegance with modern convenience. I wish that I had the time to splash in the jacuzzi! I never had the time to use it, but there are lounge recliners while you are watching some TV while enjoying your evening beverage. How lovely! The breakfast was yummy. I always have a custom omelet. Then hit the fruit and bread buffet. I loved the fresh pineapple and kiwi. While the omelet is in the pan, you can indulge in meat selection and the fresh squeezed OJ. :) For those of you that love coffee, the quality is excellent. I don't like modern, sterile hotels. I prefer places where doing things right was important. And the room was quite!! I am too old school and am so comfortable from the moment I pull into the lobby. I would not change a thing. I will continue to stay at the Westin whenever I can. It will always be my first choice for Roma!

Classic elegance that newer hotels can't replicate
I can see why some people have criticized this Westin. It does have some wear and tear and in places can feel outdated. However, in exchange for that you get a true classic elegance that you simply don't find in newer hotels. Places like a modern Ritz can be nicer and much fresher but there is simply no replicating the old classics. Everything feels grand and although not every surface is luxurious you can tell that the size alone is part of the luxury. Rooms are very spacious and although some of the rooms can be a bit plain, they are still classic looking and the bathrooms are quite nice. The bar and breakfast offerings are top notch. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The pool really feels like an old world hotel and given you're not far from the center of Rome, feels like a real luxury. They have spa services and a gym as well.
