This is the hotel that does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a grand, nice looking hotel which was, I’m informed, a former convent. The room was fine, a bit small, but it had a comfortable king size bed. It is on a main road, but the noise didn’t really worry us as the windows were well glazed.... more

The good - This is a great facility, in a scenic location. The hotel is high on Janiculum hill, with nearby scenic overlooks of Rome & the Vatican. The hotel surrounded by beautiful gardens, which guests may access. Breakfast is served in a well-appointed facility. The breakfast buffet was the most extensive we encountered in Italy, and the quality was... more

The staff and the rooms were great. We were within walking distance of the Vatican and all the main sights fo Rome. Each evening we walked to the great street restaurants of Trastevere. We had a few problems with the room and there were fixed immediately. The hotel had a pool which was a great way to cool off after... more

Really lovely hotel in Gianicolo up on the hill in Rome. Area is lovely and the local restaurants/night life is just 5-10 minutes down the hill with fantastic and affordable Trattoria-style restaurants. Much better than having to go into central Rome (15-20 minute walk) every night where the traffic and noise is terrible and prices are very high. Just 3-5... more

The hotel is rather nice though quite away from the city centre. However, we will never go back to it as, upon our arrival, we were told that, as a result of overbooking, our "FULLY PRE-PAID" " room at the hotel, booked and paid over two weeks in advance, was no longer available for the first night! We were therefore... more

I recently stayed at this hotel for a business meeting. No problems but nothing special either. The best bits are probably the pool with shaded outdoor area, the breakfast and the relatively short and interesting walk in to the city. The room hasn't bad either. The negatives are the strange position, at the junction of some pavementless roads, the lack... more

Fantastic hotel, nice people, excellent situation... nothing to complain about. more

I enjoyed my stay at Gianicolo and found the overall trip very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and very helpful, supplying us with a map of the city on arrival and telling us of bus routes and distances to nearby attractions. This was very helpful, especially details of where to catch buses and where they went to, as we purchased... more

I have just come back from Rome and was delighted with the Hotel. We had a tripple room which was a good size considering the city location. The pool was great - so few hotels have pools in Rome - and in the heat we needed it. Although it is not central the buses were quick and cheap and stop... more
