Hotel Smeraldo

Checking in was very easy and our room was ready when we arrived (a little early). The staff was exceptional and helped us with booking taxis most days. Very modern, updated. The breakfast hours were very convenient for us (7-10am) since we had early tours booked and were able to have breakfast before heading out. The breakfast choices were expansive and consistent, the staff was attentive and friendly. We were very comfortable in our Premium Double Room, given we stayed for 4 nights. The room is well laid out and housekeeping was provided each day (not always a given these days.) The rooms are tastefully decorated, the room and bathroom very updated, and there were ample outlets (even bedside on both sides!) and storage. We had a small refrigerator, and electric kettle to make coffee easily (coffee powder packets and tea bags provided.) The location is really the selling point here. So convenient! Food and gelato options directly across the street and in every direction. Campo di Fiore was a 5 minute walk, with shopping (clothing, grocery) and food options along the way. When returning by taxi, we would often ask to be dropped off at Campo if we wanted to stop in a store or restaurant on the way back to the hotel. The taxi drivers seemed to appreciate this as well -- the hotel is in a prominent area, but a bit "tucked in" some very narrow streets.
