Empire Palace - Rome, Italy     

I could not fault this hotel . I t exceeded my expectations.It is not cheap but, if your staying here then you re not looking for a "budget hotel" I found it good value. The room although not huge( but this is a Rome city hotel) was beautiful, and like most looked over the inner courtyard. There is an excellent breakfast, and a bar to come back to at night. The position is good with a 10 min walk to the sights and bus stops, but far enough away from the terminus station , ( which I guess is the worst end of the city.) There are also a few good restaurants very close. We tried two of them and they were superb The staff on our visit could not do enough for you. In my opinion if you want something a bit special , this fits the bill. It certainly made our stay in Rome a very good one . I would definitely re book if I return to rome

4 adults stayed for 4 nights and it was lovely. From the moment we arrived tired and hungry from our journey when the reception staff were first class and even gave us a big map and pointed out several interesting places and how to get to them from the hotel till check out at noon that was great and you use the luggage room if you wante to. The courtyard was cool and would be lovely in the burning heat of summer and had a calm feeling with a lovely water feature. The Blue Bar has lovely staff who remembered what you liked and always brought sweet and savoury bites without asking to nibble at. It was a very good place to sit after hours walking around the sights of Rome and after returning from one of the good eating establishments around the block. The place with the yellow sign was a fab place to eat and you had to book but it was worth it. Also the breakfast was lovely with good service and plenty of choice from egg and bacon to toast and rolls and jam and cheese and cold meats. Also pastries and croissants and cerel and juices etc. They brought tea and coffee to your table and always were smiling and organised and friendly without bothering you. The rooms were on the small side but plenty big enough and kept clean. I woutd implore you stay HERE when you are next in Rome and would do myself ........................
