"LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
This little hotel has location, location, location! It is less than 5-10 minutes walking distance to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, & Tempolo Adriano. It is about 15-20 minutes from the Coliseum, the Forum, and Vittoria Emmanuelle, around 25-30 minutes from Piazza del Popolo, and a half hour from the Vatican. Seconds away from the main artery Via Del Corso, you can’t get a better location for a more reasonable price. The front desk staff is wonderful and Tomosso in particular will not hesitate to recommend the best restaurants and tell you how to get to all the sites within Rome. He recommended fabulous restaurants and mapped out a walkable itinerary of sites daily for us. If you don’t care to walk, the hop on hop off bus is two minutes away. What really sets this hotel apart is the 5th floor outside deck with a panoramic view which is used for breakfast in the morning and a possible night cap at night. What a way to start and end a day. It was beyond gorgeous and really a delightful highlight to a memorable stay in Rome. The rooms are big enough to accommodate two easily and are clean and neat. The only difficulty I encountered was that I was unable to connect to Wi-Fi but instead used the downstairs computer. Some of the rooms on the upper floors are only accessible by a short stairway which is difficult with heavy luggage. Other than that, our stay was perfect and I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Excellent, convenience to airport was essential.

We did not get information that payment by card was not accepted. The breakfast was poor, bread from yesterday, cerials too sweet. The juice was more like lemonade than fruit-juice.
"Would stay there again"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Had a great experience. Our triple room was clean and bed very comfortable, including pillows. 40 inch hd tv with all the sky channels with the options to switch to English language. Filled a form with time and choices for breakfast . Arrived on time and plenty of food. ( Italian style breakfast) . Front desk nice and helpful. Near American embassy, hard rock cafe' , villa borghese park( very nice!) . Would stay there again and reccomand it to friends and family
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Room was so small that we could barely walk around the bed and there were no drawers in which to put clothes. The buffet breakfast, however, was outstanding and the location very convenient. Front desk staff could be friendlier. The room was much smaller than the photo for that level of accommodation

Made famous by ‘La Dolce Vita’ film in 1960, the Via Veneto is going through a glamorous renaissance. Bars, restaurants, chic hotels and boutiques all vie for attention in the street which coined the expression ‘paparazzo’ – the surname of the photojournalist in the film. Nearby, the Spanish Steps are the place for lovers’ trysts, shopping, and honing the Italian art of ‘dolce far niente’ – idling and people-watching.

When we were shown to our room in this very lovely hotel, we opened our windows to a view of The Borghese Gardens. Impeccable staff and beautifully maintained hotel made our stay here five stars.
"This Via Veneto luxuyr hotel is perfection"
From the time you pull up to this hotel, the staff is happy, helpful and excited for you to be there. The hotel is beautiful, the terrace has views of Rome not to be missed. Located on a quiet street, it's a short walk to Piazza de Spagna. I will return to this hotel again and again!
"Bad choice.."
Hotel rooms are very small for the price-point. Not worth the it. Better choices in the area. Stayed at the Boscolo Palace in the same neighborhood, which was great boutique hotel with amazing views from balconies for less money. Thought I would try another property in the area...big mistake. This place was a joke. Remodel is cheesy and cheap. They […] have no concept of design. Front desk or anyone at the hotel did not want to acknowledge that my partner and I were a same sex male couple. We noted on their system that we were celebrating our 20 year anniversary and still no acknowledgment. Front desk agent asked if we had two separate rooms during check in...which was very insulting. Service was terrible at the rooftop restaurant. No acknowledgement whatsoever. We we sat down ourselves and eventually had to fetch the server. Female manager came to clean our table and never asked to replenish our wine or if there was anything else we needed. Very rude and cold and had no training about the proper steps to service and standards. Very disappointing for a Sofitel property. Last summer my partner and I celebrated our Birthdays at the Boscolo Palace and the staff was amazing. They even sent a beautiful heart shaped cake to our room. I highly recommend The Boscolo Palace or another property in the area. Read more
"The Sofitel in Rome - a hidden jewell of hotels"
Our stay at the Sofitel was truly the best that the French parent and the Italian location could have offered. Sevice was impeccable and always both friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble while the location was close to many sights while also quiet. Our room had a delightful view towards the Borghese Garden, while the upstairs bar and restaurant […] has a great roof-top view across Rome including St Peters and the Vatican. Being active we could walk to many things while the Metro was close by. If there is a fault, hot items in the breakfast tended to be a little cold. but overall this hotel deserves at least the number of stars it has for the competence and friendliness of all the staff, not to mention the Hermes toiletries - a true touch of luxury Read more
"Comfy and close to the action"
Very comfortable bed in a very nice area of the city. Close enough to either walk, bus or cab to anywhere in minutes.

"One word: Perfection"
There are not enough superlatives to describe this hotel. We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. If you go to Rome, don't miss this fantastic hotel.

"The Sofitel Roma-a tiny bit off the beaten"
-The room was big by Rome standards. -Room was very clean and the bathroom was well decorated. -Hermes bath products smelled great! I saw the exact same fragrance in the duty free Hermes store at the airport when leaving Rome. -Front desk can change USD for Euros at a little bit of an exchange rate. -The location was great! About four blocks from the […] top of the Spanish Steps, a few blocks from some great restaurants on Via Vittorio Veneto and the Galleria Borghese. -The lounge and restaurant at the top of the hotel is worth staying here alone. The view of the Rome and the Vatican in the distance are breathtaking. The bar closes at midnight, but they let us enjoy a bottle of wine out there until 1AM. Great music too. Read more
Beautiful hotel, lovely room, great location!
"Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese"
Wonderful hotel. The staff was excellent and extremely accomodating. We left our camera in the cab on the way to the Vatican. When we realized we had left it, we called the hotel and they called us back an hour later and had retrieved it for us. We would definately staty there again.

"Quest for Food"
Great greeting by Reception Staff. Room small but nicely decorated. Referred to Terrace restaurant on rooftop. Could not get the attention of waitstaff or any food after roughly 60 minute wait. Turns out they had no chef...ordered wine which never came. Staff moved us from table to table but never seemed to understand we were starving and jet lagged […] and just needed to eat. Really hit a sour note for overall experience. Read more
Staff efficient and friendly, concierge services and recommendations to guide service exceeded expectations.
"Rome Sofitel"
Great location, elegant hotel and wonderful hotel staff!
"Nice Hotel but overpriced and in an a bad location"
I generally speaking love staying at Sofitel Hotels but in terms of what you get at the Rome Sofitel for what you pay, I can't recommend this hotel. It's off the beaten track to all but two major tourist attractions. The cost was more than double that of another hotel in Rome we stayed at on the same trip that offered an excellent breakfast and was […] within 15 minutes walking distance to 90% of the attractions in Rome. Although the Sofitel had many extra amenities like in room movie options, the costs were high to use any of them and the service provided wasn't any better than that which we received elsewhere. Read more
"Great Hotel"
The hotel was beautiful, well kept and staff was beyond friendly. I can honestly say that this was my best hotel experience ever and I didn't ask for anything spacial. It was that good. I'm sure if I did require something out of the ordinary the staff would have made it happen. I have stayed in many hotel around the world and again I have to say this […] was the best. The location can't be beat - close enough to every thing and far enough away so that when we returned at night it felt like a quite retreat. Read more
"Wonderful hotel, wonderful staff"
Absolutely would recommend this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and was more than helpful in arranging tours, and other recommendations. The restaurant on the roof was extremely pricey, but again, great staff.

"Beautiful Hotel"
This is a gorgeous hotel. A little out of the way but very nice. Our only disappointment was their restaurants. VERY VERY OVER PRICED, $30 breakfast is real theft. Concigeres could have bee a little more on top of things. They promised to book us into a restaurant that needs 24 hours notice and then forgot to call. The excuse was that this place is […] really busy... But Rome has no shortage of restaurants. So it was no big deal. But its just an annoyance. Mostly the place was beautiful great view from the restaurant upstairs. Just remember the cost to eat there, it may be an arm and a leg. Read more
"Charming, professional, close to everything"
Aside from the accomodation, the concierge service was brilliant. Great advice about sightseeing and fabulous reservations and dinner recommendations! Really a very pleasant experience.
"Short, but enjoyable stay"
I was joining a tour of Southern Italy on Wed., but decided to arrive a day early and spend a short time in Rome. Angelo suggested the perfect evening sightseeing tour of Rome that only lasted two hours; wonderful way to catch a few of the more prominent sights of Rome. Ezio was extremely helpful with maps and providing useful local information. I would […] definitely stay in this hotel, again! Read more
"Hotel Sofitel - Rome, Italy"
This was an outstanding experience. Wonderfully comfortable beds, beautifully appointed, very nice neighborhood and excellent, gracious staff.
"Great Location - Great Roof Top Bar"
I stayed at the Hotel Sofitel Borghese Rome for five nights, room 210. The hotel is perfectly located and walkable to everything. My room was clean, the bed was comfortable and clean, and there was plenty of hot water with great water pressure--a problem at some hotels. The bathroom floor was heated and the towels were plush. I slept with the window […] open as I like cooler temps. The street noise settled down after 11 pm. Hotel staff were approachable and eager to please. The 60 mins. of free Internet service was nice as I checked email each night. Read more

"Perfect"
This is the best hotel I ever been to by far. I wish I was able to spend more time. I'm Italian and I was there on vacation with my husband. The terrace upstairs is romantic and the view is amazing. The staff is 100% professional. I travel out of town at least ones a week so I'm use to stay in hotels. You pay for 5 stars hotel but you feel like you […] are in a 6 stars hotel. Hope to visit Rome again soon. Read more

"Perfect Hotel!"
Within walking distance to many attractions. Super clean. Great views from balcony - get a room on the 6th floor. Lounge on the 7th floor had amazing views all the way to St Peter's Basilica. Everyone was SUPER NICE and HELPFUL. Free internet in the lobby. Use the train to save money to the port if you are on a cruise - it was SOO easy. Luigi the doorman […] was such a sweetheart.

"Graet Hotel"
The Villa Borghese is a excellent hotel with a very courteous and accommodating staff. The rooms are tastefully decorated and provide all the amenities that one expects from a 5-Star Hotel. The staff is exceptional; the on-going assistance that was provided in helping us recover lost airline luggage went above and beyond the norm. I would recommend […] the hotel without reservation. Read more
"Nice touches by the staff"
The Sofitel had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Quiet room, good ammenities,good decor'. My only beef,I was certain the breakfast was included but came to find out that it was not-after we had already eaten. ($75 USD)On a brighter note, the staff realized it was my 40th birthday and gave me a very nice passport holder (leather) as well […] as a coupon for two free drinks at the 7th floor outdoor bar and restaraunt. By the way, the view from the 7th floor bar is outstanding but the service was beyond slow. The staff seemed more interested in chatting with one another than in serving us. All in all I'd go back to the Sofitel for sure. Read more
"Nothing to complain about!"
The Rome Villa Borghese was everything that you would expext from a Sofitel. However, if you are looking to stay in a hotel that exhudes old-world romance, this is not the one. The building is an old mansion, however it appears the entire interior was gutted, leaving it architectually unintersting. I would stay elsewhere the next time I am in Rome, […] just for that reason Read more
"outstanding hitel"
exellent, nice, clesn,cosy
"Peaceful and well located with excellent service"
The hotel is located in a fairly quiet street and we had no problems sleeping even in the heat and bustle of Rome in August. Its not a hotel with a huge number of facilities but it has a pleasant, intimate feel for a high class hotel. What is there is of a high standard, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful at all times. The standard of […] the hotel food is very high in room service and especially on the lovely rooftop terrace which has excellent views out to St Peters. The hotel is easy walking distance to Spanish Steps and other sights, but the walk back is hard as it is on a hill. If that's no problem or you use the occasional taxi then we would certainly recommend this as a home from home. Read more
"Great Hotel"
I would stay there over and over again Great location and the roof top bar is wonderful place to enjoy your late evenings after a full day in Rome You will not be sorry if you pick this hotel
"Beautiful View of Rome"
Room had beautiful view of both Rome and The Villa Borghese. Perfectly located between The Spanish Steps and Via Venato. Staff was very helpful and gracious. Recommend this hotel.
"Outstanding, off the beaten path."
We stayed in the Villa Borghese for three nights and we couldn't have been happier. This hotel is located right next to Borghese Park and in a tree-lined, quiet, and chic part of the city. There are excellent cafes and bars and expensive shopping, and there is a metro stop a few blocks over. The beds were very comfortable, the air conditioner worked […] perfectly, the room was large and very clean and well maintained, and the roof-top tapas bar has one of the best views in the entire city. We would surely stay there again! Read more
"Nice hotel"
Overall nice visit,but mattress worn on one side and fairly long walk to Metro station
"Will stay again"
I selected this hotel based on hotel.com star and guest rating and it turns to be fact and reflects reality.
Great location and hotel, but expect your room to have everything you might expect. For example no glasses nor an iron. Our deluxe room was a bit Spartan having said that the location and view from the bar/terrace are such that we will stay again
"Sophitel Rome Villa Borghese"
We enjoyed our stay in this wonderful hotel. Conveniently located in a quiet area close to the Spanish Steps and Villa Borghese. We have grown suspicious of the Italian hotel rating system over the years but this was definitely a 5 star experience. We had a memorable meal in the hotel retstaurant which has stunning views across the city. Everything […] about our stay in this hotel was excellent and if we could obtain such a good value deal in the future we would love to stay there again. Our short stay at the beginning of our holiday became an outstanding highlight of our holiday and we are pleased to give a glowing recommendation. Read more
"first time in Rome"
The hotel was fantastic. Location, rooms, service all fabulous. The breakfasts great and very good, polite service. Definately stay there again.
"Beste stedet å bo i Roma"
Jada, litt odd med fransk hotell i Roma, men du er tross alt midt i sentrum av Roma, i gangavstand til spanske trappen og Borghese tvers over og Via Veneto på 2 minutter ... og hvorfor skal du bo her: Fordi ingen, absolutt ingen er bedre på service with a smile enn Sofitel.

"どこに行くにも徒歩圏内"
60代70代の母叔父叔母夫婦と5泊しました。 年配の方でも、ほぼ全ての（バチカンとフォロロマーノ以外）名所・美術館に徒歩で行くことができました。ボルゲーゼ公園の隣に位置しており、周囲には美味しいレストランがたくさんありました。ボルゲーゼ美術館は要予約なのですが、コンシェルジュが親切に予約を取ってくれました。 （パリのソフィテルでは予約代行は1件につき2000円取られましたが、ローマでは無料でした。） また、最上階のレストランからの眺望は最高で、夕焼けに染まるサンピエトロ大聖堂を見ながら、お酒を飲んだり、コーヒーを飲んだりしました。価格も全く高価ではなく、チャージなしで、エスプレッソは5ユーロ程度でした。 ベッドもふかふかで、部屋は新しくはありませんが、清潔でした。 また、ローマへ行くときは泊 […] まりたいと思ってます。 Read more
