This modern hotel is located close to the Vatican and also to Via Cola de Rienza one of the best shopping area of Rome. It is within walking distance of the Vatican, the shopping district, Piazza di Populo, and Castel San Angelo. While the area appears more residential access to sites and tourist areas is easy. There are trattorias and... More

Positive: (1) this hotel is really well-located on the Vatican side of the river. Provided you are reasonably fit, it is possible to walk to most of the major tourist attractions in Rome. (2) It is a competively priced hotel Negative: (1) the hotel does not really deserve to be called a 4* hotel - whilst clean, the fixtures and... More

Stayed here 1 night. Very close to Vatican City. 2 Internet machines available at a cost. Hotel food is pretty good. Rooms are quite small. Bathroom is decent, but shower is very small. Water temperature was impossible to control (read: scalding). Didn't visit bar (we were out on the town!!). More

I just stayed at the hotel for 1 week. The hotel was in a great location. You could walk everywhere important in Rome. 6ish euro cab ride to the train station for day trips. Rooms were ok. Beds and pillows were awful that was my only real complaint. Bathroom was good shower worked fine. Tvs were bad too trying to... More

No vitriol just facts: the website photos of the hotel are completely misrepresentative as the hotel is in need of a major refit and refresh. There are NO rooms in the hotel that match what is shown on the website. Carpets are severely worn, walls are damaged and dirty, beds and bedding are worn and dated, rooms are quite dirty,... More

If you have read any of the other reviews here, you may have mixed emotions about staying at the Cicerone. Our experience was positive overall. The hotel is centrally located to numerous sites, restaurants, and shopping. The room was clean and had the best air-conditioning of all the hotels we visited in the heat of August. The front desk staff... More

We arrived at 3pm and our room was ready and nice and air conditioned ( it was 34 degrees celcius out ) so we were ready for a shower and a quick rest! The front desk was very helpful and a nice young man carried our bags up for us. The breakfast the next morning was delicious. Hot coffee and... More

Our room at the Cicerone Hotel was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was a nice size and clean. Our room was at the end of the floor and had a balcony -- so this might have been a nicer room than the others. There was Internet access, but it was not free. There was climate control in the room. The... More

It was a more modern hotel, but it was obvious that they had not refurbished the rooms and bathrooms since they opened it. The tub did not drain properly and the position of the shower head caused water to leak on the floor. The breakfast was great and the staff were easy to work with. More
