The gentleman on concierge that stood outside, sorry I didn’t catch his name, he was brilliant and ensured I always had a water when I returned from my run in the mornings! He was quite tall. The breakfast staff were attentive. The room was nice and the housekeeping always did a good job. Check in and check out was quick and easy. The only thing that let the property down was the service in the bar upstairs. Both times I went up to the roof top bar and I was standing waiting. Both times a lady in a brown dress saw me arrive and stood in front of me on an iPad but didn’t acknowledge me. I waited for a few minutes for her to finish then said excuse me and she then finally looked up. The gentlemen serving drinks were nice.

Our stay at this hotel was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in an incredible atmosphere and a refined interior that literally transports you to the world of the Orient Express — a blend of elegance, style, and timeless charm. The staff is exceptionally kind, attentive, and always ready to assist, which makes the entire experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast was fantastic — rich, delicious, and beautifully presented with great attention to detail. The rooftop restaurant Gigi is impeccable, both in terms of cuisine and ambiance, offering a view that perfectly complements the overall experience. The location is simply perfect — right in the heart of Rome, within walking distance of all the key landmarks. But what truly made this stay special was the feeling it gave us — we felt completely at home, in the most beautiful and inspiring way. We would gladly return again. -
