"Impressive Hotel"Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009Value:
3The Visconti Palace is a very nice hotel in a good location. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and made us feel at home which is very important as not alot of people speak great English!
The rooms were very clean and very modern, which was perfect for my taste. The breakfast in the morning was the usual cereals, fruit, yoghurts and cold meat, I didn’t think i'd like it that much, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The hotel is very near the Spanish Steps, and it’s easily possible to get to all the major attractions if you don’t mind a walk. I'd suggest getting the Metro B Line to the Coliseum and then walking back, as you pass lots of other big attractions. The Metro is very cheap and always entertaining with the musicians going up and down the carts all the time!
Be warned though, eating out is very different from what I expected. Hardly any restaurants open till late so it’s usually a sandwich or fast-food outlet if you want something hot.
There are lovely restaurants at Piazza Navarro, although can be expensive. My girlfriend and I had a great meal there on our last night which was very romantic and finished off the long weekend well.
Overall, a great weekend that I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys seeing the world and travelling, or simply wants a romantic weekend away!
