Hotel Smeraldo

Breakfast was very nice, traditional Italian pastries plus hot eggs and bacon! We arrived hotel early at 1100 and were checked in immediately (check-in was 1400)! Leonardo was very pleasant and helpful during our stay. Local pizza place (Roscioli’s) and great gelato place were just 10 steps outside hotel entrance. Easy walk to Piazza Navona, Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain. Taxi service at front door of hotel (hotel called and taxis arrived 3-4 minutes) plus 2 ATM’s within 4-5 minute walk of hotel. Rome water spout to fill water bottles was 2-3 minute walk from hotel. Convenient & comfortable and always felt safe walking around area. Rooftop terrace was nice, had good food and drinks were reasonable to us. We were in Room 111 close to elevator and stairs and had view of a cafe and restaurant on side of hotel that were also enjoyable!

The location was excellent, there were restaurants and shops very close by. A very friendly staff, Milly made delicious capucchinos for breakfast. We love the fact that our room was always cool, after a long day walking in hot weather, it was a relief. The cleaning staff was excellent too, they kept not only our room clean, but the whole hotel smelled really good. We would highly recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to be walking distance to Rome attractions.

Great location. Walking distance to all the major sites and close to restaurants and shopping. Good breakfast with plenty of options included. Friendly staff.

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.

Great location Great staff Great Complimentary Breakfast buffett Rooftop deck great for drinks and Sunsets
