Marcella Royal Hotel

Comment

Suites are much larger than standard rooms. Some suites on floor 6 need updating. Walking to sights is all downhill albeit a little further away from main tourist sights than we might have liked, especially if the weather is against you. Taxi service booked by the hotel is overpriced. Hotel is situated in the financial district with a plentiful spread of authentic italian restaurants

Lovely little hotel, not too far from centre and very convenient to Termini. Staff exceedingly friendly and always helpful with recommendations for restaurants etc. Room a little small but spotless. Rooftop bar very nice to return to in evening but be prepared to spend a little extra. Contrary to posts I have read on other sites you could not hear chairs being moved etc from the restaurant on the 7th floor and we were on the 6th floor. Cheapest Bars in Rome were the Irish bars, which is a real surprise as they gave full pints for less than most bars charged for smaller measures.

Rome through Eternity for Vatican tour and Tourus Maximus for Colosseum/Forum/Palatin. The first is a 5/6 hour tour of Vatican and costs around €44 + €14 extrance fees.We had an excellent guide in Ian. The tour of the Colosseum explained what it was really about and then later the tour of the Forum/Palatine from a guide who loved his work. We really enjoyed this tour and for €21 including entrance fees was exceptional value.

A peaceful, quiet hotel within easy reach of the main bus and metro services.(8 to 10 mins walk) Suggest taxi from the Termini to the hotel as it could be difficult to find initially. Hotel staff give valuable info on the best restuarants in the area. Best food was in the Trasterve area, well worth the taxi fare.

If travelling with a lot of cases its is best to transfer from the airport by taxi as all buses go to termini .
