Hotel Ludovisi Palace - Rome

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.

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.

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.

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-

Fine hotel for price, but walls were too thin could hear TV in next room and conversations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great service; great staff; great location!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The hotel room was fairly clean, and the location was excellent. The only down side was the room was pretty small, and the walls were really thin...you can hear your neighbors pretty clearly! The breakfast was decent. The front desk was friendly for the most part. The greatest thing about this hotel is the location. It was really close to some great areas, and convenient walk to the metro.

This hotel was better than I expected. It was clean, convenient, well-appointed, and the staff was wonderful. The neighborhood of Via Veneto was beautiful, and I'd recommend the hotel to anyone.

I paid a lot of money a night to stay in a small room and they had the nerve to charge 20 Euros a day for internet service!!!!!

the staff were always welcoming and helpful and very calm especially because were stayed at the time when the earthquakes hit and we could really feel it but the staff were calm which made you feel quite safe. We stayed on the 6th floor which even though there is no views unless you stand on the chair ( which if you do it's a great view) it does have a lovely balcony with table and chairs. Breakfast is nice but they run out regulary of everything and were slow to replace it which was the only let down . The hotel in a really lovely area with great walks from every angle.

This is a small hotel located just off the famous Via Veneto with great restaurants nearby. Morning breakfasts were complete with scrambled eggs, cereals, breads, fruits and juices--well done. Our room was spacious, well appointed with an updated an roomy bathroom as well. Our only complaint was that the interior rooms back to an open atrium which is noisy at night. All windows had to remain closed in order to sleep well at all. Guest use computer was not functioning during our 3 day stay and there did not seem to be any attention to putting it in working order. All in all, a good value, but with a bit more attention, this hotel could be a great value.

The Hotel Ludovisi Palace was located in a great neighborhood and is clearly a great place for a home base for a stay in Rome. We were sad to leave as the service and condition of the hotel were both great. It was a treat to wake up to the complimentary continental breakfast, and the desk help were consistently helpful and helped us find a tricky address. Loved it!

Our second time in Rome, last year being our first. First time around we stayed at the Hotel Splendide, which was a very expensive 5 star hotel but worth every penny. We decided that this year we would not spend so much on the Hotel and more on our spends!! So we opted for the Ludovisi Palace. What we will say is that it is a warm friendly place, the staff are extremley helpful and you feel "at home". The location is perfect, just a five minute walk to the Spanish Steps and the famous Via Venito just around the corner. Although the room was smaller than the Splendide hotel, it was perfectly compact, so really speaking no complaints just a comparison. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We plan to visit Rome in approx 2-3 years time and we will definately stay at Ludovisi Palace.

This hotel was excellent. We are a family of 4 traveling with two small children, ages2 and 4. The staff was courteous and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. Our hotel was in an excellent location close to exceptional restaurants and the metro a few blocks away. You can walk to the Spanish steps and easily get to the Coliseum and other major sites. This was also easy to get to from the airport. We took the train and only needed one connection. Breakfast was great with many choices. We would certainly stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling to the area.

The hotel is on a very quiet street conveniently near the Via Veneto and the Spanish Steps. The rooms are typically sized for Europe. A full breakfast was a nice part of the package. The key system is odd in that you slide a clip into a holder upon entry into the room, which then turns on the electricity; attached to the clip is the key to open the door. If one person takes the key with them, anyone staying behind is left in a room without power.

I was concerned about booking on line in a foreign country. not to worry the service here was better than you get in some upscale hotels, they could not have been nicer. FOr the price, this was a bargain.

They gave us good advice and even arranged tours. They also made arrangements for travel to the cruise line. Breakfast was ample and good.

Our only problem was that our room (and the hotel in general) was extremely overheated. Since our room was at the front, we were unable to keep the windows open at night due to the noise from the street (absolutely silent with windows closed), and even with the heat turned off, it was so warm it made it difficult to sleep. Air conditioning was turned off for the season. Other than that -- great location, extremely clean, gracious and impeccable service, good breakfast and even a complementary cocktail hour.

The location of this hotel was excellent. On arrival the receptionist gave us a map of the main tourist attractions & was very helpful. We walked from the hotel to St Peters/The Vatican which took us around 45 mins (We might not have taken the most direct route) The hotel itself was clean & although it was at the front, on a reasonably busy road it was not noisy & we had no problems sleeping. The bedroom decor was perhaps a little faded & could do with a spruce up. All staff were pleasant. Our flight was not until the afternoon but the hotel allowed us to leave are bags with them until we were ready to leave for the airport. I would stay at this hotel again if I return to Rome

Vi savnede en hyggelig bar ellers lign., og muligheden for at sidde udendørs.

Location was good as we knew when we made decision. Just a short walk to Via Veneto or Spanish stairs. And if you come by taxi from Termini it is cheap and fast because driver can use tunnels via Borgese. Very helpful staff. They advise us how to go to Tivoli by train and recommed also good restaurangs. Breakfast quite okay althought they had some problems with coffee machine.

Sehr kleines Zimmer direkt neben der Rezeption,sehr dunkel,Frühstücksraum sehr eng und klein m Stau am Büffet und Kaffeeautomaten. Rezeption sehr freundlich

Till att börja med så var det mycket trevlig personal och utmärkt service. Hotellet har dessutom ett mycket bra läge. Det är nära till Spanska trappan och Fontana di Trevi. Ett stenkast från Metron och enligt mig bästa shopping-gatan. Rummet som jag bodde i var ganska litet och trångt och det var inte den bästa AC:n. Men både rummet och toan var mycket fräscht. Jag gillar också att det är ett kassaskåp som man kan utnyttja i garderoben.

rummet var litet och ännu mindre var badrummet ,man kunde knapp gå i badrummet , detta hotellet kan inte vara 4* max 3*, dålig service och dålig frukost, kom man senare på frukosten fanns det knappt något att äta. Det enda som var bra var läget där hotellet låg på.

Dette var et meget hyggelig hotell. Gangavstand til alt vi skulle gjøre. Forholdsvis rolig gate i helgen, men noe mer trafikk på mandag. Likevel var det ikke støy inne på rommet selv om det vendte ut mot gaten. Hyggelige omgivelser. Personalet var serviceinstilt og hjelpsomme. Rent og ryddig, forholdsvis stort rom og bad - og ikke minst god madrass i sengen!! Vil anbefale hotellet til andre, og kommer til å bo her neste gang vi skal til Roma.

Godt hotel, med super beliggenhed nær den Spanske Trappe, ambasade kvarter, gode restauranter mv. Hotellet har super venlig betjening, god morgenmads buffet. Kan anbefales. Har boet på de andre og dyrere hoteller i samme gade, men Ludovisi Palace er stort set samme niveau. Værelserne og bad, er lidt mindre end på de dyrere hoteller, men kvaliteten af værelsesstandarden er den samme.

Rigtig fint hotel med central beliggenhed. Dejlig morgenmad og god service.
