“The hotel maybe past it's prime”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Stayed three nights in the hotel suggested and booked by our travel agent.

The staff was very nice. The lobby and first floor common areas are beautiful. We were disappointed in the rest of the hotel.

The room we had and the one our friends had could use an update. We needed the staff to adjust the door to the bar cabinet as it was coming off it's hinge. Even the binder for the hotel information was very worn looking.

The breakfast buffet was less than expected from a four star hotel with a large container of scrambled eggs served cool with out heat each day. The service was slow and the wait staff needed to be asked to serve coffee.

The location was a 15 minute to the Spanish Steps.

The staff recommended a over priced restaurant with average food which we were disappointed in. We ate at much better restaurants in the neighborhood on our own after that.

The internet service was $7 Euros for 3 hours and did not work all three evenings we were there on our computers nor theirs, only during the day for a reason the staff could not explain.

Room Tip: We stayed in a "refurbished" room

“Dishonest”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We called to reserve a room at a special rate allowed us by our profession. We were absolutely clear as to the number of people and nights and type room we wanted and were quoted a price and reserved the room. We called again the day before arrival to verify the rate and reservation and were given the same information. However, upon arrival, we were given a rate nearly double what we were quoted. Being nearly midnight, we were stuck accepting this rate as too late to go anyplace else and after a long day of travel we were exhausted and couldn't begin to look for another hotel. We felt cheated and trapped. We were given a "special" room that was obviously less than what was offered other guests - probably the same room we would have been given at the lower rate we had been quoted, and that would have been fine, but not at the new rate. The desk clerk refused to budge on the rate, but offered a free breakfast as compensation. The breakfast was nice, but the air was so thin in the room that it stifled any enjoyment - and at the 8€ posted price for a single plain croissant, I guess we probably did consume the difference in price in breakfast goods. At any rate, to sum up: We felt cheated, that the hotel deliberately misled us and did not honor its agreement and trapped us. We will never recommend them or stay there again.

“Great location, lovely hotel, gracious service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2011

We stayed at the Hotel Bernini for 3 nights and at breakfast every morning enjoyed the beautiful view from their windows and balconies which overlook the city as well as the more than adequate buffet. The waiters were very attentive as was the front desk staff. We loved our stay here!

“Wow, blown away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2011

Words can't explain how happy me and my newly wed wife were with this hotel.

We stayed here for 5 of our 10 nights in Italy for our honeymoon.


We were upgraded to the suite, that had a separate living room, gigantic bathroom... and huge bedroom that overlooked the city of rome.

A 2 minute walk to the Trevi fountain and Spanish Steps.. and across the street from the train station.

The staff was amazing, very helpful in our navigation throughout the city.

Thank you again... we will definitely be returning in the near future!

“Location, location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2010

Excellently located not far from the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. Very comfortable and stylish hotel overlooking the Piazza Barberini. Excellent room overlooking the Piazza. Courtious, attentive, helpful staff. On the tour bus route (stops outside), metro station on the Piazza, great little curbside cafe's and shopping. Definately recommend this hotel.
