Hotel Claridge - Rome, Italy     

The best thing about this hotel is its location. We enjoyed a leisurely walk on a beautiful Sunday afternoon past the US Ambassador's residence and other mansions through Borghese Park, the Museo of Modern Art, the Tuscan Museum, and the Piazza Popolo, my favorite Piazza so far. We could have easily walked to Trevi fountain and Spanish Steps had we been inclined. The neighborhood provides beauty and convenience with a grocery store and many restaurants across the street and next door. We had a balcony and I think every room had one. The staff was uncharacteristically friendly for Rome. Definitely would stay there again.

just spent four nights at the Claridge hotel as part of a Monograms tour. Overall the hotel was very nice - rooms were reasonable sized and clean, the staff was friendly and the breakfast was very good. Only issue is that the hotel is really a 45-60 minute walk from any of the downtown sites (further to the Colosseum area) and you'll quickly find walking in Rome to be very tiring as you are constantly dodging cars and scooters. Several bus lines run near the hotel, so that is an option, but using the buses at night is a challenge since it is difficult to determine where you are and when you should be getting off the bus. However, as long as you are up to doing some walks, or figuring out the buses, then it is a very nice hotel in a good neighborhood.
