“Always a nice stay....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I have stayed at the Residenza 3 times now, and it remains consistently good. Clean, spacious rooms, bountiful full breakfast buffet each morning, and a front-desk staff that is always willing help with everything from restaurant reservations to taxis.

Also, this hotel is just a few minutes' walk to Piazza di Spagna and Via Veneto. You can even walk to the Vatican from there (about 20 minutes). All around great hotel for the money in a centrally located position in Rome. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to both business and pleasure travelers.

Room Tip: I would choose a room that doesn't overlook Via Emilia, just because it's quieter.

Came to this place with my family. Breakfast is the worst breakfast I have had, considering the price we paid. the staff were very unfriendly and unhelpful, un-professional.The rooms we found to be very cramped and a littje dirty.Its amazing the rates they charge for so little in return.
Be aware, there are better rooms and hotel in Rome I am sure for the same rates.
What a big mistake coming here.

“Nice Rooms, Helpful Staff, Quiet Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

In late November, we and another couple stayed four nights at La Residenza, both in suites with balconies overlooking Via Emilia. On foot, the location's a leisurely 10 minutes to the top of the Spanish steps, 5 minutes to the Trevi Fountain, a block to the upscale Via Veneto area, and, for Americans, a couple blocks from the Embassy. It's about a 15 minute window shopping stroll into the heart of the main tourist and shopping areas. There are a number of overpriced touristy restaurants on Via Veneto, but checking with the friendly staff will get you into some other spots that have a more local ambiance and reasonable price. Don't be paying 16 Euro for spaghetti pomodoro.

Our room ,104, was large and nicely decorated with a large bathroom, especially by European standards, and a small sitting room. The other large suite, 204, didn't have a separate sitting room, but substituted a larger balcony; great during good weather. The "double" bed was huge, larger across than a king size. It appears to be two smaller mattresses pushed together, though there was no gap between the two.

The hotel staff was unfailingly helpful and knowledgeable. We took a cab back to the airport, which was quick especially during the rush hour afternoon. Note that there is a club directly across the street for entertaining men, but thankfully, we heard a rucus only once during the 4 nights. If you are in the more crowded areas of Rome, the noise can be unending at night.

Breakfast was great for Italy. They set out a number of items, including scrambled eggs, sausages and various vegetables that can be warmed up on two "hot plate areas" by the friendly staff when requested. They'll also make fried eggs to order and fresh coffee including espresso or capuccino. I recommend that fresh coffee. Note: be careful when pouring your juice - it can flow more quickly than expected. There's a nice selection of seasonal fruit, cereals, sliced meats and fresh bread.

Our visit was late November, off season, so we paid 180 Euro per night, but I'm sure it's more during the high season periods. Still inexpensive compared to other hotel in the area. La Residenza is for those who want a quiet sedate place to stay away from the Roman crowds after the touring is over for the day. It's still fast and easy to get to the centro by taxi or bus (cheaper) when you're tired of walking.

Room Tip: There are just a few rooms with balconies, well worth it if you want access outside. The back rooms...

“Excellent, friendly hotel”

We spent four nights here in early November and couldn't have chosen a better hotel. Staff were very helpful, from recommending and making reservations for dinners, giving directions and arranging transport. The room was much larger than expected with a large bathroom. It was in a quiet location (yes there was a lap dancing club opposite but this didn't cause any noise or trouble) within easy walking distance to the main sights. Nothing was too much trouble and we would very happily return again.

“Excellent Hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed at La Residenza from 14th -18th October. The location was great - a quiet road but well situated for most of the sights and public transport. The reception staff couldn't have been more knowledgeable and helpful which greatly helped and enhanced our first visit to this amazing city. The decor and furniture are not modern but it is well kept and very pleasant. We enjoyed the welcome cocktail party on Friday night - a very nice gesture. Our room was huge. It was a bit quirky but we loved it - particulary the huge balcony! The breakfast included in the price was more than adequate (good, fresh coffee was available from a machine if you know to ask!) although seating in the dining room was a bit limited and we did have to wait for a free table one morning.

Room Tip: We heard that the best rooms were on the 5th floor but we had no complaints about the one we had on...
