This 23 room hotel is located on the 4th and 5th floors of a building, a few steps off Via del Corso, Rome's main north/south street. The rooms are small, but modern and spotless. There is a great rooftop terrace where enjoying a glass of wine is a must. The owner is charming and the staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about attractions and restaurants. An expanded continental breakfast is included and there is a tiny elevator. You may choose to close your windows if you're located in a street side room. We left our luggage at the hotel during a short trip out of the city.

This was one of the best hotels for the money on our entire trip. We spent around 180 bucks a night on the place and for the area, it was unbeatable. As per other reviews the rooms are small, but when traveling in Europe you need to have the right expectations. This also is not a luxury hotel, it is a clean, afforable option in an awesome location. In almost all places you will have smaller rooms than you are used to. Overall though the hotel was very clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. The Pantheon, Trevi fountain, Piazza Navona, and Spanish steps are all in between 5 to 10 minute walks. There are 2 metros nearby: one at Barberini and the other at Spanish steps. We used them to a few times, one to get to the Vatican, once for the Coliseum, then on our trip out to get to Termini with luggage. You can walk anywhere from this hotel, just be prepared as the coliseum is probably a 25 min walk and the Vatican even longer. In our trip we walked pretty much everywhere, but sometimes you need to choose your battles and save your feet for the rest of the day. As for restaurants in the area, be careful as it is near may tourist sites and we found those we stumbled upon when we were tired and hungry were bad, and those we carefully researched were very good. The hotel has a rooftop terrace and a few rooms that open up to it. We stayed in one of those rooms and it was really nice to have easy access to the deck, which we hung out and drank wine on, so ask and see if one of those is available. Unfortunately during our stay the Piazza that the roofdeck overlooks was under construction, which hopefully is done by now. The best tip I have for a stay in Rome is to make use of the many fountains over Rome called nasoni (they are marked SPQR), which constantly have cold delicious and most importantly free water. There is one of these located in the piazza right by the hotel and we filled up our water bottles each morning and night. Breakfast is included with your stay as well and it's pretty basic, which was common with hotels in Italy though I'd say this hotel had a little less than other places we stayed. Breakfast had croissants, fruit, yogurt and other basics, just load up on some carbs and get your day started early. My last recommendation would be to check out a website called Reid's Italy if you are planning your trip on your own and really want to try and make the most of it and maximize what you see, or even just get down the important places to see. He has advice on top sights, hotels and places to eat. We used his site to plan generally and then used tripadvisor to make our final decisions on hotels and restaurants.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at the Hotel Parlamento in early November. Mr Chini, the owner, and his staff members Andrea, Roberto, and Philomena were so incredibly nice and helpful. Mr. Chini commutes by bicycle to work and gave me advice on navigating the city by bicycle. His advice helped immensely. All of the team members recommended and made reservations for unbelievable restaurants. They were hidden gems that were off the tourist paths and much more genuine for someone looking for "real" Italian restaurants.
Philomena knew I liked my coffee very strong and would make me a pot of coffee with espresso addes to it every morning. Andrea was always impecibly dressed and directed us to nice boutique shops without expensive prices.
The Hotel is perfectly sited for all the major sites of Rome. The Berlesconi affair was playing out while we were there so it was quite exciting to be right by the government buildings.
I would heartily recommend the Parlamento to anyone traveling to Rome.

My husband and I spent three nights at the Hotel Parlamento in October. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and had never traveled without a tour group or overseas. The staff was so wonderful. The entrance was a little hard to find, but our kind taxi driver saw our bewildered look as we exited the cab, and walked us to the door. We loved the rooftop terrace. Many Americans were staying there at the time and we would all congregate on the terrace for food, wine, and fellowship at the end of the day. The breakfasts each morning were a delight. We walked everywhere from the hotel and felt safe at night in the neighborhood. It was a wonderful experience.
