Grand Hotel Del Gianicolo - Rome, Italy 

I have just come back from Rome and was delighted with the Hotel. We had a tripple room which was a good size considering the city location. The pool was great - so few hotels have pools in Rome - and in the heat we needed it. Although it is not central the buses were quick and cheap and stop outside the hotel. The hotel does not have a resturant but they gave us great advice of where we coudl eat nearby when we didn't want to go into the city centre.

Have just returned from Rome after a short 4 day break. This was my first visit and I went with two other friends and we stayed in a triple room. It was a reasonable size for three of us and the bathroom was of a good size and we always had enough clean towels every day. The Reception staff were pleasant and helpful and the breakfast here is plentiful - mainly continental style but lots of it. Although this hotel isn't entirely central to all the main attractions, you can walk into central locations but it will take about 30 minutes. However, the taxis in and out are reasonably cheap enough so we tended to do this. Also, we were very glad that we were out of the hustle and bustle of the city as it was nice and quiet at night. Also, this hotel has the added attraction of the pool and because we were so hot at the end of a long day sight-seeing, it was fantastic to get back and spend a couple of hours swimming and relaxing around the pool before going out for the evening. Towels are supplied which is good but everybody needs to wear a swimming hat and these can be bought for 5 euros at reception. All in all, I can thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone.
