NH Leonardo da Vinci

A really good hotel. Friendly staff and a good breakfast. Be sure to request a room on a high floor so you can get a view of the Vatican.

Certainly not a 4-​star hotel. I would not stay here again. The walls are paper thin. The staff was rude. My shower door leaked, I told 2 staff members about it– it was never fixed. Room wasn’t the cleanest. Not sure if their security is the best I had a strange man knock on my door – who wouldn’t leave & I had to call security, which wasn’t very quick. ! In dire need of an update. Only positives were 1) good location to Spanish Steps & 2) quick cab service. Too pricey for what you actually get, you’re paying for location. Also– you pay quite a bit for ‘the good’ internet service, which is mediocre at best… and you have to keep reconnecting…

I am amazed that celerity cruises uses this hotel. I feel it it a glorified super 8, and it doesn’t help when the guys at the front desk are extremely rude. Either they hate Americans or that’s just the way they are. It has not been a good experience. Would NOT recommend.

My trophy wife and I stayed here as part of a tour package. The room was nice and clean. The lack of power outlets made me wish I had purchased an extension cord.
This was more of a residential district but a ten minute walk to the peoples plaza, the Spanish Steps and double the walk to the Vatican. Being the ugly American, I found the lack of street signs a bit daunting, but that is not the fault of the hotel. Despite being down the street from the Somalian Embassy the great Equalizer is on the next street is the anti Mafia headquarters.
The breakfast was good, the only problem was one had to pick through a pan to find bacon cooked. The breads, rolls and everything else was great.
If you travel one block east of the Hotel, towards the Tiber, there is an Italian version of a supermarket, which more resembles an American Seven-​eleven.
Within a quick walk from the hotel, there are several dozen places to eat, pick up a soda or grab an ice cream.
The hotel is fairly close, five minute walk to bus lines, the Rome version of a subway. We found ourselves calling a cab, which the hotel staff were more than happy to call.
The front desk staff were great. One person was able to shift from English, to German to Spanish with out even thinking.
I would stay here again.

Ich finde dieses Hotel klasse und kann es gerne
weiterempfehlen. Nur 10 Minuten Fußweg zur Spanischen Treppe und zur Via del
Corso. Genau in die andere Richtung sind es wiederum 10 Minuten zum Petersdom.
Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten kann man sehr gut zu Fuß erreichen. Das
Preis/​Leistungsverhältnis ist gut. Die Zimmer sehr sauber und auch von der
Größe OK. Das Frühstücksbuffet für italienische Verhältnisse schon außergewöhnlich
umfangreich und lecker. Warum gebe ich trotzdem nur 4 Sterne? Ich ärgere mich
jedes Mal, dass man bei schönstem Sonnenschein nicht auf der Terrasse
frühstücken darf. Die Tür von Restaurant ist morgens geschlossen. Schade. Wenn
die geöffnet würde, würde der 5. Stern dort hineinfliegen.

Cleanliness: The room and the hotel were generally clean.
Room: The room was nothing special but it was clean and bigger than other European hotel rooms (note: it was not a big room).
Location: The Vatican area has a reputation for being farther away from the main sites and thus a bit cheaper but I didn’t feel that at all. The area around the hotel feels more residential and is only a short walk from all the sites in Centro Storico, Piazza del Popolo, the Spanish Steps and the Vatican. There are 2 very well known gelaterias and a supermarket very close which is an added convenience.
Safety: No problems around the hotel.
Service: Nothing special. They wouldn’t let us check in early which normally is fine if the room isn’t ready but the worst part was that she didn’t even look to see if any rooms were ready. She just said we can’t guarantee any rooms before 3pm so we should check in then.
CONCLUSION: We got an OK deal on Hotwire but in general this hotel is average in nice area.
