Diplomatic

The location for the Diplomatic was perfect! It was easy to walk to all the main sites. The staff were nice and helpful and the room was really comfortable. We highly recommend this hotel. We'd definitely stay there again.

We felt the location of this hotel couldn't have been better. Everything is a short walk away and the area feels very safe.We had some lovely lunches and dinners out on terraces at local restaurants.The room was fairly quiet for a city and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was good and not too small. The breakfast was very good. I love cake at breakfast. We would definitely use this hotel again.

The Diplomatic was the ideal place to stay as it is situated within easy walking distance of ALL the sites, and near to the river. If strolling around doesn't appeal, or you want to get your bearings before you start you can literally walk out of the door onto the tour bus which stops directly outside every few minutes. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean with towels replaced daily as you would expect. The breakfast was continental style and included juices, cereals, tea, coffee, ham, cheese, fresh bread rolls, yoghurt, fruit salad and peches in syrup. There was also dutch toast with a choice of preserves. The breakfast room was spacious and the staff polite. Vito's (just across the Road) is definitely the place to eat and close enogh to stagger back to the hotel and into bed after a tiring day, also the Picola Irpina Restaurant its used by the locals and is'nt full of tourists. There's a good choice of food on the menu which is fresh, reasonably priced and is full of flavour --- To get to this restaurant turn right as you come out of the hotel cross the main walk for 20 yards then turn left and its approx 800 yards along the side street (at night its shown with a green neon sign saying Tratoria). the Proffesionalist cafe next door is OK for coffee and cakes but not for 2-3 course meals. would also recommend the ROMA PASS , 20 euro for 3 days, free bus rides, free access to the first 2 museums (without queuing !) (take the colloseum , most expensive and the longest waiting time) anyway i'm starting to ramble now so if your still reading this go to Rome, stay at The Diplomatic you won't be dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!

This hotel provides a perfect base from which to explore the city.If you are a walker/stroller you can explore from the Vatican to the Colosseum at your own pace with ease. There is also easy access to bus routes/tours unless all your loose change went in the Trevi earlier.Local eateries are available but within a 15 min gentle stroll you are in P.Navona with further options en route.The rooms are clean with good bathrooms/ air con and a mini safe .Only downside is that there is no tea/coffee making facilities in the room for a brew on returning from all this exploring- there is a mini bar in the room.The location is quiet with no major nighlife causing disruption in the early hours.Breakfast is continental style and adequate.Staff friendly and professional. Would stay here again.

The Diplomatic is an ideal place to base yourself for a trip to Rome, indeed this is our third stay. The staff all speak very good english and are very polite and always willing to help you. The rooms are spotlessly clean, as is the rest of the hotel, and the buffet breakfast is adequate. The location could not be better and is superb value for money. All of the 'tourist sights are within a steady stroll of the hotel (40 mins max), and places like trastevere (recommended for a 'boho' look at rome, and much cheaper eating and drinking) are also within 20 mins walk. We wouldnt stop anywhere else.

This hotel was awesome for a short break in Rome. We stayed for 3 nights and had absolutely no problems. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, the staff friendly (they spoke perfect English!) and the breakfast was simple, but just what we needed! The hotel is also in prime position for all of the main sighseeing places and is a brilliant base. A very very enjoyable stay! I would definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone!

Hotel is really well positioned for a weekend trip to Rome. Located centrally between the Vatican and the Christmas Steps.
A number 87 bus outside the hotel will get you to the Colosseum for 1 euro!
Hotel is pleasant but not the best 3 star hotel we have stayed at. Everything was clean, and the hotel staff were very freindly and helpful. The breakfast [buffet style] was adequate, but not exceptional. Very basic other facilities. Would definately go back here again as it was so central and quiet at night! The air conditioneing was fantastic after a hot Rome sight-seeing day!

Upon arrival, the concierge knew my name, and had everything ready. The room was small, but nice and clean. There was a television, but no english-speaking channels. The bathroom was great, although no bathtub. The only drawback was that there was only one electric outlet, in the bathroom, and it was not possible to charge my computer there, as it was only for "plain" European electric outlets (don't know the English term). Breakfast was served by two very sweet and efficient women, and although plain, it was good and filling. The hotel is located in the center of town, but a little bit off from the worst tourist traps, so it's quite peaceful around the hotel (compared to other places in the city). My room faced the street, but this caused no trouble or discomfort. I would certainly recommend staying at the Diplomatic.

We stayed at this hotel from 10th-14th June.   It is a good basic hotel which is an excellent location.   All the sights of Rome are within easy walking distance.  We stayed on the third floor at the back of the hotel.   The bedroom was not too small  but unfortunately the bathroom was cramped.   We had the opportunity to see one of the rooms on the front of the hotel and although the bedroom was smaller it had a better layout with a much more spacious bathroom.  The breakfast room was more than adequate and the food provided was good, although there was not a great deal to choose from.   The staff at this hotel were very pleasant and helpful.  We found a good bar/restaurant close by called Vito's which was excellent and at the end of the road just before crossing the river there is restaurant that sells divine desserts which are not to be missed.
