First, they had an amazing breakfast spread! If you're going to be exploring Rome all day a hearty breakfast is important and they did not disappoint. The area was quiet and very safe we were often out walking late. We loved the location- everything seemed to be a 20 minute brisk walk away (or you could take public transportation). The room was clean, bright, warm (we were in November) but also had A/C. They provided lots of toiletries. We stayed for 5 nights and noticed many other patrons stayed here for multiple nights as well. Would recommend this place for sure!

Beds were firm and pillows were lovely and firm too. Some good gluten free options at breakfast and they were all presealed *bread, cakes, cereal* ehich was reassuring for a coeliac.

Very good hotel in a great location. We have stayed here before. But, this time, the AC was really bad. Temp in the room never got below 24 C. I know it was hot in Rome, but not that hot. We asked the staff about it, but they didn't (or couldn't) do anything. It was nice in the lobby, but I don't think they wanted us to sleep there. Really too bad because we like the hotel.

Horrible Experience

Horrible Experience. The air conditioning didn't work on a hot summer day of our arrival for a 2-day pre-paid stay and staff were non-responsive. We called the desk to ask for help and the clerk said he'd come as soon as he finished with a guest. 90 minutes later he hadn't come and we called and he said he couldn't come as he was the only staff on site and would come in an hour. 45 minutes later, we called back, and were told that clerk had left the site. The new clerk came to the room, acknowledged the heat was "unbearable" but couldn't fix the air conditioner. We asked to move to a different room and were told there was no other room. We explained we would check out in the morning and asked for a refund for the 2nd night's stay due needing to leave because of this situation, and were told this made sense, but that the owner needed to authorize it and they couldn't be reached until the following day. Not able to wait to hear because of concern we wouldn't find another place, we reserved another place. We checked out and, ultimately, the owner refused to refund the second night's stay. We texted with Hotels.com during the experience and they were sympathetic, but said that because it was a pre-paid stay, they were dependent on the owner's authorization, and without this wouldn't provide a refund. Beyond this, the rooms were disappointing: cheap mattress, a plastic desk chair that was more like a lawn chair, cheap plastic light fixtures, and a shower drain that backed up.

The room, though compact, was comfortable, clean and well maintained. The breakfast arrangements, though not luxurious, were adequate. Overall level of cleanliness and comfort was excellent.

Shocked that this could possibly be rated a 4 star hotel. The room was tiny, bedding was of the absolute lowest quality, the AC didn’t work. This is a 2.5 star hotel. The location is ok but we still took cabs to get places, despite being big walkers. The breakfast was the only part of our stat that was close to four stars. Shame on Expedia for marketing this hotel as four stars and charging the rate they did. Totally lost faith in booking on Expedia.

Good location. Nice breakfast

A very good buffet breakfast is available. The hotel is close to the river so some pleasant walks to be had. Close by is a very vibrant Piazza, which has a daily market that disappears at the end of the day, so you can enjoy one of the many restaurants there. We had little room for suitcases (2) as the room is smaller than any shown in the advertising photos. Our showerhead woudlnt stay up, making it a challenge to wash. Our travel companions had a broken fridge, tv and no bathroom light. It took a few days for all of that to be fixed.

Hotel Residenza

Staff was amazing. The first day I felt like family. The front desk was so accommodating. Most of my interaction was with a staff called Irene. She was great. There was nothing she wouldn't help us with when asked. Staff in the breakfast hall was friendly and also accommodating. The day we left, it was before breakfast started. Simona, who was waitressing the day before said to me, don't worry, I'm here at 6:30 am. You will have breakfast before you leave today. The street the hotel was located on was very quiet, yet centrally located. When I go to Rome again, I will be staying at the Hotel Residenza Farnese.

We were welcomed as we were the only one there. The staff was superb. They helped us with all our needs which were directional needs in Rome. The front desk Irene was fabulous. It was my birthday day during my stay. She realized it because of my date on my passport. She left a bottle of wine for both of us. She was so kind in every way. Our breakfast hostess, Simona was fantastic as well. We had to leave early Tuesday morning for our flight. She made sure that we had breakfast waiting for us. Went out of her way.

A boutique hotel in a perfect location

The hotel is pleasant and quiet, even though it is situated in a central location, in the wonderful historic area of Campo di Fiori etc. The design of the hotel is an eclectic mix of styles and eras, but it somehow works. The room was large and basic, but had everything that is needed. The only complaint is that the air conditioning system did not work. Better check if you come here during the summer.

Piazza Navona is within easy reach and everywhere on the tourist map is just about walkable. The staff were lovely and helpful and all spoke excellent English.

THIEVES

This hotel is a thief. At the end of my stay in August 2016, I asked the concierge to send 4 postcards to Australia for me. He said he would do so for 10 euros. I handed him over the cash and continued my holiday in Europe. It is now late November and the postcards never arrived. I called the hotel to follow up and complain and they advised they would look into it and call me back. I never heard anything from them. I am appalled. Not only will my family never receive the postcards I put a lot of time into writing, but the concierge pocketed my money. The fact that I have not heard back since my complaint is disgraceful.

Worst 4 star hotel stay ever!

This was possibly the worst 4 star hotel stay ever. I chose this hotel for it's location and for what seemed to be a lovely period hotel. I had booked a superior double room June 14 to 17, 2016. What a rude awakening. The hotel staff was sullen and unprofessional. They initially put us in room 406 which, while it had a nice view, was a spartan room, the furniture was beat up and the bed was a rattling, uncomfortable metal bed. The pillows were like slabs of marble. We were woken up by the cleaning staff at 6:30 AM the next day as the cleaning room station was adjacent to our room. The following day, we requested a room change and were switched to room 409 which was a much smaller room with respect to room 406. Although the bathroom was updated, there were cracks in the bathroom wall and the water pressure was so poor due to the shower head being completely calcified and to being on the 4th floor. The curtains were snagged and the lampshades badly stained. The walls of the room are paper thin and we could hear everything - conversations, cleaners, etc. The hotel staff manning the breakfast room were highly unprofessional. They had loud disco music on the TV in the room next to the breakfast room; I had to ask them to turn music down! While the choice of food was fairly varied, there was a choice of two jams kiwi and bitter orange in two open bowls. This hotel has serious management and maintenance issues - and should be demoted to a 2 Star hotel. A total rip off!

Authentic Italian Experience

Two minutes from Piazza Campo del' Fiori with its daily market; two minutes from the river (Tevere), then across Siste Ponte to Trastevere. In my view, the atmospheric location of this hotel makes its a great choice, whatever small niggles one may have with the hotel itself. We had considered Hotel Quirinale. Having heard the crazy Italian traffic noise as we passed by it, however, we were glad we'd chosen R in F with its more set back position. Buffet breakfast was fine, but if you're looking for fine dining or 65 different types of bread, then go elsewhere. Staff: great. I would have liked a slightly bigger room, but it's possible that I booked a standard, and maybe I should have gone for a superior? There are some very spacious rooms. Lovely massive roof terrace which opens on May 1st. Overall, a great, full-on Italian experience. Mi è piaciuto molto.

Good but a bit small and loud

I may be a bit critical since my expectations are based on american experiences. This hotel was tidy, pretty, staff was nice and very accomodating. They loaned us a couple converters which was very kind. Our room was small. Perhaps by American standards. Bed was also small for 2 average sized adults, we should've reserved a larger bed so maybe that's my fault. The bathroom/shower was very nice and new and the bed was very comfortable despite its size. My biggest complaint is the amount of street noise in the middle of the night. There were Italian military and late night people making all kinds of extremely loud noise that disturbed us multiple times both nights during our stay. The location was perfect though, so I guess by staying in a busy, happening area means late night noise on a Fri/Sat. Good hotel but I'd probably take my chances and try another spot next time. We paid $209 nt.

Nice location!

This hotel is a few blocks away from some great plazas with lots of restaurants and markets. It was perfect for a home base as I only walked around Rome (15-20 minute walk to the Pantheon), wanted a safe and quiet place to stay, and also a place where I could walk a short distance for food. The hotel was very clean, the bathroom looked new, and the Wifi was great.

Nice Hotel in a great location.

The hotel was very good value, excellent location with an area of good restaurants and shops. Easy walk to all Rome attractions. The room was comfortable, clean and very warm in the cold season. The breakfast was a good continental standard. Staff were helpful, with a small reception and bar area. Internet worked well and was free. Only complaint was the TV was small and limited English channels.

Very nice small hotel

Though some rooms tend to be on the small size they are very efficient, nice decor, and great amenities, the sleepers, minibar, and towel warmer are plush amenities. The location can not be better and the staff is great. Definitely a good feel hotel to spend some Roman holiday.

Excellent location

This hotel is within walking distance to all the main sights of central Rome, yet is in a relatively quiet area. The rooms are small, as per the usual European design when in old section of a city. The breakfast was excellent, and had a great selection of hot and cold items, again in the European style. There is a lovely rooftop terrace, although it was a little neglected since we were there late in the season.

Totally overrated for a 4* hotel, rather 3*. Overpriced for value. Tiny room for singles (2*). Terrible furniture and decoration. Old and stuffy. But great location. Very poorly sound-proofed.

Great location in a charming setting.

The Residenza is ideally located for a tourist.Convenient to great restaurants and tourist sites with the delightful fruit band vegetable market close at hand-Piazza Farnese, great night activities at Campo del Fiore. The hotel staff is helpful and the rooms are kept clean. The breakfast is not very exciting but the cappuccinos abound. The rooms are small and the views unspectacular. For the outstanding location everything else is quite ok especially given the reasonable price.

It's all about location location!!!!

The hotel itself was decent, clean room and bathroom. The room we had was on a small side and the bed was one of those firm spring mattress but it was clean. They provide decent selection for breakfast and the staff were very friendly. The best bit about the hotel is the location. It's on the quiet corner, yet you are only 30 seconds away from campo de fiore. We pretty much walk everywhere with collessuem only 20 mins gentle walk away. Great place for a short city break.

Great central hotel

This hotel was in a great central location, walking distance to all the main sites. It only took us 5-10 min to walk to the Pantheon and Palazza Navrona, and 30 min walk to the Vatican and Colosseum. There were plenty of local restaurants (but only one bar) so you have to make it clear if you only want a drink. Our hotel room was a medium size with en-suite. It was clean but the mini fridge did not work properly, after reporting this three times we gave up! The general decor of the hotel has an eclectic feel utilising old furniture, plates and decoration throughout. Breakfast was great with a selection of cold meats, cheeses, cereals, yoghurt, coffee and teas. Drinks in the hotel are cheaper than elsewhere (except the supermarkets) but the bar does not open long enough in the evenings (7:30 - 9:00) so we only used it just before we went out, which was a shame. If we return to Rome we would use this hotel again

The best hotel in Firenza

Perfect hotel to stay for comfort, friendliness and location. Loved this hotel. Wish we had stayed here for the entire time we were in Italy. Management and workers were so kind it felt like coming home to family at the end of the day. Breakfasts were incredible. Location, location, location. Easy walks, perfect restaurants, perfect piazza. I want to go back again and again.

Great location, but underwhelming and overpriced

On the plus side, this hotel is in a terrific location, close to all the main sites. The breakfast buffet is quite nice (though you need to get there early if you like your eggs hot), and there is a lift in the hotel. The wi-fi connection didn't work in my room when I first got there, but they fixed it the next day and it then worked pretty well. (Can't stream video or Skype, but at least you can access email and the web.) The shower head was also broken when I got there, but once they fixed it, the shower was fine. However, some pretty major problems here, especially given the high rates they expect you to pay in the summer! Like in much of Europe, the rooms are tiny and the beds are quite hard. I was there during a July heatwave, and though there is air conditioning unit in the room, it blew straight down on the bed, so since I didn't want to get sick, I couldn't leave it on at night. Worst of all, it stank. Literally, the room smelled like dead fish. I went searching for the source - looking for someone's leftover lunch under the bed, looking to see if there was a restaurant beneath the room - but no! Turns out (the maid admitted) it was the air conditioning unit. I mean, this was a smell which hit you like a ton of bricks when you walked into the room! I don't know if the same would be true of the heater in the winter, but if you're going to book here, I'd say make sure you bring a big can of air freshener.

Small but Nice

The hotel was very comfortable overall and quite well located to get around Rome to all of the key attractions on foot. Our room was small and had no view, but was cozy and nicely done with a comfortable and well appointed bed and decent bathroom. We were there for 4 nights and asked for a larger room after the first night and our request was immediately granted. Our larger room was still on the small side. It was very hot in Rome and the air conditioning was marginally adequate, meaning we were warm at times.

Nice location, old fashion

We stayed two nights in this hotel during our family vacation in Italy. The location is excellent, walking distance to all major attractions in Rome. People were very friendly and service was excellent. The breakfest was outstanding probably best breakfast that we had during our vacation. However, the hotel is old and requires some up-to-date work. I think the owner likes the old-retro style and tries to keep it as is. If you like retro, old fashioned rooms, this hotel will be excellent for you. I personally like more modern style and felt somehow un-comfortable with my grandma room style. At the end of the day, Rome is old and the hotel maybe fits the city style.
