Hotel Eliseo - Rome, Italy 

Perfect location on edge of park with views across to Vatican. Very friendly and helpful reception. Gret breakfast room on top floor looking over park. Very close to Spanish steps and local restuarants. Upgraded our room simply because one was available.

Stayed for 5 nights at the Eliseo and enjoyed it very much. Room was medium sized, not exactly glamorous but clean. Lack of drawer space for 2 people. Very firm beds (twins bolted together). Double glazing and internal plus external shutters, nets and very heavy curtains made for a dark & very quiet night. Great bathroom with very good shower, though no bath. Fully functioning and seemingly brand new electronic safe in wardrobe. Breakfast was an 8 out of 10; 3 different meats, 2 cheeses, hard boiled eggs, fruit, bread and warm pastries. Would agree with previous reviewers that the 116 bus is brilliant and goes all the way through the back streets to Camp d'Fiori, then the river. The night version runs til 1.30am. Whilst the Metro entrance is very near the hotel the actual platforms are not, so it's quite a walk via the subway - but there is a useful supermarket en route. There are more central hotels but we enjoyed the park and would say the rates are excellent value.
