Visconti Palace Hotel

Great hotel, Great area close to many attractions whatch out for cab drivers all over Rome go with a meter type cab and not a set fee. As for hotel upper floors are way better pay the extra came out to about another 100.00 us more for 5 nights and well worth it. Breakfast is Outstanding hit it before you go out. Included im my room purchase. Staff way nice and helpful i have been to Rome 3 times best hotel by far. Hotel would have been a 5 but a little warm in the room we just kept the window open and all was fine.

Just back from Rome after a weekend away for the rugby and we stayed here.
My cousin and I shared a spacious twin room on the first floor which wasn’t too noisy, although he did say he could here the drunken antics on Saturday night from the bar (I was, obviously, in the bar, so this didn’t bother me…). I’d recommend asking for a room higher up in the hotel, because they’ve been renovated recently and look so much better than our more basic room — the rest of our family were on the 5^th floor and their rooms were lovely.
Check in wasn’t great as a full bus-​load of us arrived at once. Reception staff were also not consistent — my aunt and uncle were handed their passports back after they were photocopied whereas the receptionist who served me was rude and unwilling to give me and my cousin ours back. Thankfully another receptionist stepped in and copied them as passports don’t look to be stored securely — they were all in wee sections by room number behind the desk?! I’d rather lose it myself thanks guys…
The only other complaint I have from our stay is that the hotel bar is pretty extortionate, but the presence of a couple of good looking bar men definitely eases that blow! It also didn’t stop anyone from having a drunken singsong at 1am in the bar area, and the hotel were ridiculously accommodating about this!
Breakfast is AWESOME so make sure you go if you stay here. There’s so much food, and the only thing missing that we kinda wanted was Nutella, but otherwise it was perfect.
Good location, maybe slightly too far from the main touristy areas, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as its a bit quieter around the hotel area.

Traveled from US to N. Italy and ended our 14 day trip in Rome and booked this place in June of 2015. The hotel is exceptional in so many ways. It’s upscale, metro vibe is out of place for the historical city, but in the same breath it’s a welcome sight for westerners missing home. All of our other stays in the country were authentic, and like I said this was a completely different experience. Less personal attention, but information was given when asked. The outdoor areas were EXCEPTIONAL with fantastic views and great service. Located in a good, less congested area than the city center, but still accessible by public transportation. Concierge was kind enough to hail a cab to our last minute flight, and informed us of the appropriate charge for the cab so we weren’t taken advantage of in our haste. Although the breakfast is included, the sign at the door states there is a charge, so don’t be confused as we were, go right in — It was wonderful.

We stayed here for two nights. This was a very nice hotel, conveniently located about six blocks away from Vatican City and within easy walking distance of most major sites. Our room was clean and everything worked as it should. The staff spoke adequate English and were courteous whenever we interacted with them. They have a great complimentary continental breakfast in the dining area with tons of food. The bar off the lobby is also nice for after-​dinner drinks.
The only issue we had with our stay was that some kind of alarm went off in the hallway during our first night here. It went on, in a kind of low-​pitched hum, for about an hour before it was finally shut off. Also on that first night, the phone in our room rang at about 3:00 AM. There was only static on the line when I answered. Never found out what it was all about, but just chalked it up to the perils of traveling.

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights a few years ago and was very pleased with my experience.
My room was one of the newly refurbished ones with a bright and clean interior. The bed seemed relatively more comfortable than the one at the very expensive 5* hotel I stayed at in Venice just before I arrived in Rome but not nearly as comfortable as the beds in many of the hotels I’ve stayed at in the US. I didn’t need to iron my clothes at all so the lack of irons in the room never bothered me.
Location is what makes this hotel ideal by my standards. I was able to comfortably walk to a lot of the city’s attractions, many of which were concentrated in an area less than a mile away from the Visconti Palace.
The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful, with a larger variety of choices than the typical US chains that offer free breakfast by default.

No air conditioning or heat in the building. Room is dirty. Everything is outdated and worn. Beds are hard. Window opens 3 inches so that is all the air flow you get in your fan and air condition less room. Staff is rude and lies. Stay away!!! Go to the Inn at the Spanish Steps instead.

My husband and I were very pleased with this hotel. It is very conveniently located between everything we wanted to see in Rome. The staff was great, the rooms were nice, and the breakfast was terrific. We would stay there again.

This is a really nice hotel. I think it’s actually a 4 star hotel I’m not sure on that though. They have a friendly hotel staff and the best breakfast spread we saw in Italy. The comfortable soft beds is what got us. We slept in hard small European beds for 2 weeks and we got here and fell a sleep right away for a nap in a soft bed. Good hotel all around.

No irons or ironing boards in the hotel is a pain. They’ll press a shirt for you but it’s pricey. Staff is really nice though.

A nice, modern hotel, which caters mostly to English-​speaking foreigners. Front desk was very friendly, and bar staff very professional. Breakfast is included, and is quite large, with the typical continental offerings, as well as some English staples. The room was not quite as sleek as the promotional material, but adequate. A double bed is just that… two twins pushed together. «Live bossa nova» on the roof was quite enticing, but when we arrived, we found a solitary flautist playing along to a Music Minus One track. The grill chef tried to help by offering impromptu utensil percussion. It was rather cute.

I stayed here for a week while visiting Rome. I really enjoyed this hotel, but I really did round it down to a 3 I wish I could give a 3.5. This is actually a BEAUTIFUL hotel, very, very beautiful. The breakfast is to die for, if this is a continental breakfast, North American hotels have major competition. Eggs, sausauges, bacon, tons of fruit, pastries, yogurts, just in abundance! Even if you came 10:30 am, half an hour before breakfast ended, there was tons of food. The staff was very friendly for the most part as well. The rooms were also very nice, they have a very nice courtyard, and a great gym! What I also appreciated was the staff, they all spoke English to us, and the ones that were not very good at English made their best attempt, when I am in a country where English is not the main language, I in no way assume that everyone should speak English to us, but they did and it made us feel comfortable. It was very nice.
Now for the cons, the second day there, I noticed we had ripped sheets, I contacted the front desk about it, and the next day we still had ripped sheets. They eventually did change the sheets. The second MAJOR issue was that there was no iron in the room, they said there was some sort of city ordinance against it. While I don’t doubt that, I feel that they should have better accomodations. I remember when going ona cruise, they did not allow irons in the room, but they had a laundry room where you could Iron your own clothes at your leisure. Instead, here at Viosconti, you can have the laundry service iron for you, it was 5 Euros for a shirt. I do not mind paying for this service, but I believe if there is no other alternative it should be a bit more affordable, to get my whole wardrobe ironed would cost me well over 100 Euros which I just think is ridiculous. Lastly, at the last minute we had to get a three person room, which I am happy there were able to accomodate us for, but instead of giving us a three person room, they added a type of cot roll out bed into a two person room. This wasn’t a HUGE deal, but it did make the room a bit cramped and there was not room for our luggage. In addition, we did have to pay for an additional person, so it would have been nice if we actually got a room that comfortably fit three beds. The other thing that I did not understand and was still not clear about at check in was this city tax that we had to pay, I guess this is more so an issue with expedia who I booked through since they said all taxes were inclusive. The person who checked us in said that since we were paying for an extra person at check in, we had to pay the tax, which I completely understood, what I did not understand was why we had to pay the tax times three, I assumed that since it was a two person room, the tax on the other two people were already paid for? Never really fully understood it. I would stay at this hotel again because it is really a beautiful hotel, but at least now I know what it comes with and what to expect.
