Stayed at a hotel between the Colosseum and Vatican. The breakfast was SUPERB! Would choose it again. Photos don't do justice to the lovely room.

The cozy room, friendly staff, and delicious breakfast made for a wonderful experience. While the rooftop bar was lovely, I wished for more beverage options. Despite a small room change, I can't wait to return.

Omg, 🌟wow🌟 the location of this place is insane! perfect for walking to all the major attractions, and right by the best lunch spot! breakfast was standard but alright. Rooms are small but clean, a bit musty though. Drawback: no breakfast when we left 😢

The room at Hotel Smeraldo was so cozy and inviting, with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom stocked with toiletries. The balcony provided a beautiful view, making me feel relaxed and at home.
Personally, I found the small size of the balcony a bit limiting, but I'm sure others would still enjoy it.

During my recent stay in Rome for a sightseeing trip, I was impressed by the central location of the hotel, just a short walk away from major attractions such as the Colosseum and the Parliament Building. The room was spacious and modern, with a charming balcony overlooking the bustling city. The rooftop bar provided a perfect spot to unwind with a drink while enjoying panoramic views of Rome. The friendly staff, delicious breakfast, and nearby restaurants added to the overall luxurious experience.

The room was comfy and clean, and the location was ideal for all the sights. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, and they serve up a great cup of coffee. 🥐🍳 Do wish the AC was easier to handle, but the staff quickly brought us fans that did the trick. Our room was a bit noisy at night under that rooftop bar, but no biggie, still had a great stay overall!

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for exploring Rome's main attractions. I had a peaceful night's sleep in a cozy bed. The breakfast had a good selection. There were some noise issues due to thin walls and street noise. The card to enter the room had some issues.

A short stroll to Campo de' Fiori, River Tiber, and Piazza Navona made exploring Rome with our little ones a breeze. The warm and friendly staff made us feel at home, providing excellent service and delicious breakfast. The hotel's central location made it easy for our family to experience the best of Rome within walking distance.
My wife says that the hotel could benefit from offering a children's play area to keep the little ones entertained.

As a tourist in Rome for a week, Hotel Smeraldo was the perfect choice. The prime location allowed us to easily explore all the major attractions on foot. The hotel itself was impressively clean and modern, with a stunning rooftop terrace. The continental breakfast offered a delicious variety of options and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The nearby Roscioli bakery was an added bonus!
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay! The family suite was spacious, perfect for us and our teens. Great breakfast with a friendly staff. Ideal location for sightseeing and plenty of nearby dining options. Clean rooms and a lovely rooftop bar. Street noise was a minor issue. Would definitely return!

I simply adored the ultra contemporary artwork and sculptures that adorned the common areas of the hotel. The sleek and modern decor, along with the abundance of natural light, created a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. As a senior woman, I truly appreciated the hotel's accessibility, with basic wooden furniture, plain white walls, and black and gray cushions that made it easy to navigate around the general areas.
The only thing I would ask for is more grab bars and wheelchair accessibility in the bathroom for a better vacation experience for senior people.

I keep coming back to this hotel because it feels like home. The staff even helped me with printing. It has free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, and a 24-hour reception. The bar and outdoor dining area suit me perfectly. I'm already planning to return for New Year.

The hotel's great location near restaurants and major attractions, along with helpful staff, made our stay in Rome a delightful experience. The breakfast had plenty of options and the bakery nearby was a delicious bonus. The small sink and lack of mirrors were minor inconveniences compared to the overall positive experience.

This hotel's location was perfect - close to everything, including a lively piazza with lots of great restaurants. It was also just a short walk from many famous attractions. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were friendly.

The hotel's location is perfect for exploring the city, as it is close to most attractions in Rome. Just down the street from a piazza with lots of restaurants, it offers easy access to the vibrant city center. Additionally, guests can enjoy the convenience of having a bakery below the hotel, perfect for grabbing a quick bite before heading out for the day.
One of the elevators in the hotel was broken, and the other one was quite slow.

The location of the hotel couldn't have been better! It was right in the heart of the city and within walking distance to all the major attractions. Another great thing about the hotel was the rooftop terrace. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the city.
The noise from the nearby construction was quite disruptive. It started early in the morning and made it difficult to sleep peacefully.

Located in the heart of the city, this hotel was convenient for exploring tourist attractions and had easy access to public transportation. The complimentary breakfast served was excellent in terms of variety and quality. The staff were friendly, helpful and approachable, providing us with all necessary information that was required during our stay. The rooftop patio provided a perfect spot to enjoy a drink before or after dinner, with an amazing view of the city.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was a bonus, especially after a long day of exploring the city. The location was perfect, within walking distance of all the major attractions and right across from the Antico Forno bakery, where we enjoyed delicious baked goods for breakfast. The prices were reasonable and the attention to detail was impressive, with little touches like fresh flowers on our bedside tables.
No major complaints, everything was fine.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is ideal - very centrally located to all the attractions in the city. Everything was within walking distance, which made it very convenient for sightseeing. The recently renovated rooms were fantastic, with a swanky modern bathroom and even a balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel very welcome. The highlight of my stay was the delicious breakfast, with fresh pastries from a nearby bakery and excellent coffee made to order. Absolutely loved it!
All was perfect, nothing to complain about.

This hotel is perfectly situated for visiting all the key sights; everything is just a walk away. the staff is friendly and willing to give great suggestions for the nearby restaurants. The rooms are tidy and comfortable, with cozy beds and updated bathrooms. You can start your day off right with a delicious breakfast and then spend the day out sightseeing. If you want to unwind at the end of the day, take yourself up to the rooftop and have a glass of wine while enjoying the atmosphere.
Some guests mentioned that the walls are thin and not soundproof.

We enjoyed our stay at a hotel in a perfect location. Despite a small room, we had a comfortable bed, and the bathroom had toiletries and a power shower. The breakfast provided was fantastic with a variety of fresh options and quality coffee. We also liked having two outdoor terraces and the fast and free Wi-Fi. Overall we would recommend this hotel.

Staying at Hotel Smeraldo meant I could embark on a world-class adventure right outside my doorstep. The fantastic breakfast fueled my exploration, and enjoying a hot drink on the terrace felt like floating on cloud nine.
Who needs peace and quiet when you're in Rome? The lively streets made sure I never missed a single horn honk or street performance.

The breakfast at the hotel is an absolute delight. Each morning, I indulged in the rich continental buffet, feeling like a kid in a candy store. The artigianal pastries and freshly made cappuccinos were like a symphony of flavors that set the tone for a fantastic day of exploring Rome.
Occasional noise near elevator.
