"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

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.

"Great"
Excellent hotel and awesome customer service. The folks at the front desk were very helpful. We checked into a room and found that it didnt have a tub and only a shower stall. We have a small kid and she freaks out to take bath in the stall. We told the front desk and they gave the only room with tub to us. It was more spacious than the original room, […] but they gave it to us without charging any additional fees - saying "we will do this for the little princess". This made us feel very happy. The place is around 3 - 4 miles from station and at a very nice location. The attractions are in walkable distances (20 - 30 mins slow walk with a kid). Nice restaurants near by. On the day of our return we had to leave by 4:30am. They arranged for a hotel cab to airport at a dirt cheap price. Airport is around 40 km from the hotel. The cab was waiting for us 10 mins earlier - no stress. overall we loved the people and the place. Read more
"good location"
We came to Rome to renew our visa at the US Embassy. The location of the hotel is great for this, its a 5 minute walk to the embassy. The location is also great if you want to access Rome for tourist activities. The staff were good some were excellent but on the day of arrival the staff were not helpful at all. The room was not well cleaned, for example […] I noted nail clippings on the floor - this was really a low point for the hotel. At least the sheets were clean! I would say it is a good 2* hotel, not a 4* which it claims. We paid a lot for the night, and given the quality of the room it was too much. I pre-booked two adults and one infant. When we arrived and I asked for the crib, they said they did not have any, but they could put in an extra bed. This is not ideal with a 2 month old baby. There was not a kettle in the room or coffee making facilities. However on the plus side the night staff did bring us a pot of boiling water to our room very quickly when asked. Overall, I would stay here again if I can get a cheap price. The room was small-ish, it was not as clean as I would like and there were little facilities. However the bed was clean and comfortable. Most importantly if I have to conduct embassy business again I will see if the prices suit. Read more
"Perfect choice"
I have been to Italy over 30 times, and I can say I've never had a more pleasant experience than at this hotel. It's nearly half the cost of the surrounding luxury hotels, double the service and kindness. The staff was incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful. Here you will really feel like a guest, not just a room number. I'd recommend it to anyone.
"Nice staff-below average hotel"
The hotel has bee renovated in the last 5 years, maybe? Small rooms, but that is okay. It just wasnt clean. Nice travertine tile, but mold, calcium build up and soap scum in bathroom. Staff was very nice and good neighborhood. Too bad...we just slept there. Came from Sorrento for our last night in Rome. Dropped our stuff off and headed out for the day. […] Back at 9pm for showers. Cocktail downstairs. Then to bed. Up early. Breakfast was okay. Then left for the airport. We had the basic double room. Could not have stayed there for a long visit. Read more
"Hotel Ludovisi - Rome - close to Spanish Steps"
The hotel is in a great location close to all the sights, but at the same time it is in a nice quiet neighborhood away from the hussle and bustle. The rooms were very clean with nice amenities. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

"Good location and helpful staff"
The hotel was well-priced for the neighborhood and an easy walk to most everything we were interested in seeing during our visit. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.
"Everything Just Marginally Acceptable"
My family of four stayed here 7/10 - 7/13 and, while we had no significant problems with the hotel, room, or staff, I have a hard time finding anything overly positive to share, either. We had booked a 'quad' room for four and received a standard size hotel room with two twin-sized beds. Essentially, the same size and configuration you'd find when booking […] a standard room anywhere in the US except the beds were a bit smaller than queen. The breakfast was ok - nothing spectacular - and they utilize a self-serve coffee machine (where you press the drink you want and it dispenses) rather than making cap. or expressos made to order from the higher-end commercial unit they had. Also, the breakfast room was supposed to be the hotel bar in the evening, however, the bar was stucked worse than a home bar would be (they didn't even have wine - in Rome!) and it was not manned by anyone on any of the nights we stayed there. It would have been nice to go down and have a glass of wine and get a soda for the kids, maybe play a game of cards, prior to going out for dinner. Instead, we had to go out and find a convienance store and buy drinks/chips ourselves. So, nothing terrible but certainly nothing to recommend and certainly not worth the price I paid for the four of us. Read more
"Ludovisi Palace - Short walk to Spanish Steps"
Excellent location, close to Spanish steps & a block from wonderful shopping & restaurants. Very good value for the money. We spent 3 nights just prior to Thanksgiving before boarding a cruise ship. The hotel staff was attentive & very accomodating. The breakfast room is pleasant & the food more than adequate. Front desk personnel spoke English & were […] always available. We will stay here on our next visit to Rome. Read more

"Great Hotel with Outstanding Staff"
From our first day of arrival, we found the staff extremely helpful and most accommodating. The location was perfect for our needs.Close to The Piazza Barberini Metro, within walking distance to Piazza de Spagna, The Borghese Gardens and fabulous restaurants. It's rating should be 5 Stars.
"Nice Bathroom, OK otherwise"
We had a room with two beds on the fifth floor. We asked for a non-smoking room but received a smoking room. The hotel was booked so we couldnt change. The staff was very helpful and even tried to locate a place for our friends to stay in the neighborhood. The location is good if you want to be near the Villa Borghese or Spanish steps. The nearest train […] stop was Barberini which was about three city blocks. The rate we paid was high considering the quality of the room. Being American, we are pretty spoiled by the general quality of hotels in the states. I wouldnt say this was a bad hotel. I just wouldnt pay as much as we did for the room we had if I had to do it again. Read more
"Good location and room"
The hotel is in a good location, and easy to get around. The front staff are friendly and efficient. For Rome, it is an overall good hotel, and we would stay again. However, the walls are thin, and the 4 star rating in Italy is not equivalent to that in the US. If you want a good clean, convenient location this is a nice place. The breakfast is ok, […] just stay away from the fresh fruit. There is also a good fruit stand a block away and a travel agent if you need to purchase train tickets, etc- Read more
"Walls were too thin..."
Fine hotel for price, but walls were too thin could hear TV in next room and conversations.
"Poor value, run-down, trixster staff"
Ludovisi Palace is akin to a Quality Inn in the US that hasn't been redone since 1980. Carpet was disgusting. Mold in corners of bathroom and shower. Threadbare everything. At check-in, was told 35 Euro per day for the car. Asked about the parking garage I saw signs for and was told it was 29 Euro/day and a bit far away. It was 2 blocks away and 18 […] Euro per night. Thankfully, scam avoided, and needless to say, we did not ask for any more "help" from the staff. "Breakfast" was inedible - Ex. Nescafe instant coffee from a self-serve machine - this is Italy, right? Don't stay there. Stay further away or spend more money. Read more
"Clean Room"
Hotel was close to spanish steps and several restaurants as well as the Metro. Hotel was on a very quiet street. Staff were okay, not overly friendly, but would answer questions. The front desk guy that worked from 3-11 was very good. Coloseum was a 35 minute walk and Piazza Navona about 25-30 minutes away. Room was very small but very clean and only […] had a very small shower. Read more
"Nice Hotel, Nice Location"
Nice little hotel, same neighborhood as the U.S. embassy and a short walk to the Spanish Steps and the nearby shopping/tourist district. Our room was inward-facing and extremely quiet. It's on a relatively quiet street but just steps from the chaos when you want it. The free continental breakfast was decent and welcomed (Rome is not cheap). I would […] happily stay here again.

"Home away from home"
The hotel staff are wonderful, extremely helpful and great at helping tourists navigate the city and around Italy. Andre, at the front desk, made us feel like it was our home away from home. Great hotel at any price.
"Outstanding"
Great service; great staff; great location!
"Outstanding service"
The hotel staff and concierge were extremely pleasant and helpful. The rooms were quiet and very clean, exceeding our expectations. The location was great and would definitely highly recommend the hotel.
"Great Location and Great Service"
This hotel has fantastic service. Every person working for this hotel is extremely helpful, curtious, and friendly. Our room the first stay was small with a very small bathroom but the AC worked great. We stayed with this hotel on our way back through Rome and the manager gave us a very large room with a large bathroom.
"Fantastic value and quality hotel for central Rome"
This is a great hotel in central Rome, small but high quality right in the middle of everything you need to see. Would definitely come back.
"Great Overall Value"
We received a great rate by agreeing to a non-refundable booking. Hotel provided a good breakfast buffet - otherwise american style breakfast is tough to find in Italy.
"Nice Location"
The rooms were fairly large, but a little run down. The surrounding area was nice, and the hotel is very close to the Spanish steps.
"Great place to stay"
pros: Great staff, helped us out a ton. Nice free above average breakfast. Big bathroom, and nice size room. Not much of a view from the room. Close to the metro. Easy to get to from the airport. Walking distance to all of the major attractions except the Vatican and Coliseum, where a very short metro ride will get you there in minutes. Safe and quiet […] neighborhood. cons: was hard to take a shower without getting water out onto the floor. Tiny spots of mold, but nothing of any serious concern. overall: great place to stay for location, staff and overall quality. Read more

"Average"
The hotel staff were very helpful. The location is difficult but fine if you are fit as it is uphill and often have to climb steps to reach the hotel. The first impression is that the hotel needs updating and there is nowhere to sit in the lobby. The bathrooms are tiny.
"Centrally located clean friendly hotel"
My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and found that it was a good base to visit all of the historic sites of Rome. We walked from the hotel to most of the historical sites with the exception of our trip to the Vatican City which we took the nearby metro to. It is also walkable but our legs were tired!. The staff were very helpful and […] friendly and our room was clean and serviced each day. The buffet breakfast was basic but good and had enough choice to suit. The hotel did not offer lunch or dinner but that was not a problem as it gave us a chance to sample the food of the many great restaurants around Rome. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others. A perfect hotel for independant travellers wanting to WALK ROME and enjoy eating outside your hotel. Read more
"Awesome place to stay in Rome"
My wife and I stayed here before and after our cruise in May 2000. The hotel staff coordinated all of our transportation, had our room ready early, and were very helpful wtih everyting. The htoel is very central to everything. About 4 blocks from the Spanish Steps and close to many great shops and restaurants. I definitely reccommend this hotel to anyone […] that is staying in Rome. The price is very cheap compared to other hotels. The rooms were much bigger and nicer than other hotels that I have stayed at in Europe. It was a great stay and we will stay there again! Read more
"Rome 2012"
Excellent base in a safe area, a walk to the Trevi fountain,Spanish Steps and Metro. Hotel was excellent with friendly staff and very clean. The surrounding area is full of 4 and 5 star hotels that are double the price of the Ludovisi Palace. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Try Ristorante Vladimiro in a back road behind the hotel for some great […] Italian food and hospitality rather than the touristy glass cabins on Via Veneto. Read more
Very nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Rooms facing Ludovisi street VERY noisy early morning.Short walk to Borghese park and the Spanish steps , 2 min walk to Via Veneto.
Nice hotel- staff very friendly- breakfasts are basic but OK- one small gripe- for an Italian hotel their coffee is awful- instant coffee machine at breakfast kind of lets the show down a bit- however- a small thing to moan about- all in all we are well pleased with the place- very close to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountains with the Hard Rock Cafe […] right around the corner- very important for our kids...

Sehr freundliche Angestellte. Die Lage des Hotels ist schlicht super. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in kürzester Zeit zu Fuss zu erreichen. Auch ein HRC ist nur 3 Minuten Distanz erreichbar. Preis / Leistung unschlagbar!!
