“3 giorni, da solo, al centro di Roma”

Posizione perfetta, a 50 metri da Piazza del Popolo e a poche centinaia di metri da Piazza di Spagna, per chi vuole vivere uno dei quartieri più frequentati e modaioli di Roma. Albergo piccolo, pulito, ben tenuto, con servizio efficiente, discreto e cordiale. Da vent'anni frequento Roma cambiando sempre albergo. Credo che il Piranesi sia al top come rapporto qualità/prezzo. Punti deboli, in rapporto al prezzo e ai servizi ricevuti... francamente non ne vedo.

“Good location, not worth 4 stars compared to other Rome 3 star”

I stayed in a 3 star hotel near the Pantheon last spring and paid $100/night less than I did for Hotel Piranese this spring. Piranese was in no way better than the 3 star. In fact, in several ways, the 3 star was better. Piranesi's room was considerably smaller - which makes it extremely small. The bathroom was much smaller...a larger person would be very uncomfortable (I am 5'2", 115llbs) . The 3 star had a pretty rooftop breakfast room, Piranesi served breakfast in a windowless basement. 3 star had in room coffee maker and provided box breakfast for early departure. Piranesi did not. Piranesi would make a fine 3 star if the rates were lower. No benefit to the extra cost.

“Good location, but ...”

Can't fault the location (right on Piazza del Popolo), helpfulness of the staff, cleanliness etc. but... The room was like a junior suite, divided into three (bedroom, sitting room, bathroom. A better use of space would have improved it. The sitting room was well furnished, but formal (desk, lamp table, hard upright chairs etc.) which was a shame because there was no chance of relaxing to watch the TV. The bathroom was well appointed, but small and the shower cubicle was tiny (90cm x 90cm). The bedroom was also small, but the bed was comfortable and a fine size. Although the bedroom also contained a wall-moiunted TV, this one lacked the video on demand features of the one in the lounge, so no chance of watching a film in comfort! Breakfast was a pleasant buffet in a well-lit basement room. The hotel was quiet, but the bar and common areas were also very formal, so difficult to relax in. The rooftop bar / terrace is very pleasant, but was only just coming into use in early May. The location is surrounded by restaurants and the reception team were pleased to make sensible recommendations that turned out well. Shopping was excellent and all the sights were within walking distance or a short taxi ride from the nearby rank. Out of season, the air conditioning is turned off due to city regulations. The streets outside are noisy, so be prepared to wear ear plugs or keep the windows closed and put up with the stuffiness. In all, quite expensive, but an enjoyable break.

“Exceeded our expectations!”

Everything about this hotel was top notch - our room with its terrace was beautiful, the room was large by European standards and the bathroom was full-sized. The common areas were phenomenal, and we particularly enjoyed the rooftop bar with delightful service! The breakfast buffet was more than adequate and cheerfully presented. The location can't be beat. Although on one of Rome's busiest streets for walking tourists, the nights were quiet. Close to everything: Spanish Steps, the river, a taxi stand, and the delightful Piazza del Popolo.

“Fantastic location”

The hotel is small with an attractive lobby area but mostly small rooms. The staff was pleasant but borderline incompetent or unresponsive. We had a problem with the drain in our bathtub which wasn't keeping the water in. We reported it and they seemingly fixed it that day.When we returned I took a bath and then we couldn't get the drain up to let the water out. Their fix was to pull the stopper out, leaving it on the tub and giving us a rubber stopper. There was also no chest of drawers for clothes, only a small armoire with 2 small drawers and the hanging space washalf taken up by the vault. As I said the location is fabulous for walking and just a few steps from a taxi stand so given the price it was a great choice and I would stay there again unless I could afford the gorgeous hotel across the street.

“Excellent place to stay”

Great hotel, very clean with exceptionally helpful staff. Excellent location, wonderfull breakfasts and roof garden available for use. Highly recommended.

“Lovely central and quiet hotel!”

Our 2nd visit to Rome and we wanted a more central location and a hotel with character. The Piranesi satisfied us on both counts. A stone's throw from the Piazza del Popolo and a short walk to the Spanish Steps, the Piranesi was a perfect base. Staff were professional, attentive and friendly - the housekeeper checked on us a little too frequently if anything! The room was at the back of the hotel (recommended) so it was quiet and had a lovely private verandah created between the hotel and the next building. Room an ok size - well furnished. Bed not so comfy - though large enough. For us Brits, the tv selection was rubbish unless you bought into their pay per view options. Only news channel was a business CNN - still, an excuse to get away from gloomy news for a few days! Breakfast was continental - well presented and plenty of it. Check out the roof garden - we celebrated New Year up there with a few other visitors and some fizz - great view down to the piazza and across the Borgese gardens opposite. A smart location and so were the prices locally. Still, you can grin and bear the expense for a few special days!

“Brilliant Position”

Very good hotel with easy access. Excellent staff and amenities. Very good breakfast

“Will definitely be returning next time I come to Rome”

I arrived at the hotel quite early and my room was not ready. I was able to leave my luggage in a secure room behind reception while I went sightseeing around Rome. I came back after lunch and checked in. My bags were waiting for me in my room and the room was spotless and very elegant. The service was excellent. Whenever I needed a taxi the staff would go out and flag one down for me. A taxi to Fiumicino airport from the hotel costs approximately 60 euros, however my driver was a bit of speed demon. He was going approx 150km/h a few times on the highways. It was nice to be called 'Ms [surname]' as well by the hotel staff. Will definitely come back one day!
