As this was my first visit to Rome well anywhere for that matter I was not sure what to expect. What I got was something pretty amazing. The Daphne Inn has everything that any traveller would love. The location is one of the many highlights of the Daphne. You are in walking distance to Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and many other attractions. The metro is quite close by to get you to the Colosseum, Acient Rome, The Vatican and other attractions. You are also in walking distance to some fantastic resturants. Check out Colline Emiliane mext door...YUM! The best part of staying at the Daphne Inn was the staff. Rena and her associates were so welcoming and helpful in every way from suggesting things to see to making dinner reservations. For a first time or seasoned traveler, I would absolutely recommend The Daphne Inn. I can't wait to see it again.

We stayed here for Valentines weekend getaway in February. The location is excellent - close to the metro and many restaurants around. The staff was very hospitality, super helpful and welcoming and even provided a mobile phone for us to use (although we didn't need it). The hotel is in an amazing old building (but it's a split with other residents that actually live there - only a few floors of the building belong to the hotel) and the elevator was very cute and old. The room was spacious, clean and looked recently renovated. The breakfast was delicious (served on a separate floor) with plenty of choice. Don't expect room service/after hours service as this is in a residential building. A great spot to come and go as you please.

We arrrived at the Daphne Trevi by Metro from Civitivecchia after our cruise. We got off at the Berberini stop with all of our suitcases and rolled them to the Daphne a block away. Claudio was kind enough to take the suitcase to our 3rd floor room via the tiny elevator recently installed at the Daphne in the middle of the circular staircase. It would hold two suitcases or two people in it, but not both. Then Claudio told us how to get to our Jewish tour of Rome in the Travestere which we had booked through the hotel via the bus stop, a block away. Our room was very comfortable and the included buffet breakfast was excellent. We stayed 3 nights and wandered all over Rome using our public transit 3 day pass. One exception was the large cab we booked to get to FCO (airport) which we shared with another couple we had met at breakfast. Our only complaint was stepping out of the Daphne as you had to look both ways or you might be run over by a motorcycle. The street is narrow and the traffic is very fast.

We booked based on reviews on Tripadvisor and were not disappointed. Location is central to the entire city including the Metro. Every recommendation was spot on from the sites to the restaurants. The staff was extremely helpful from the moment we booked (helping with arrival details) to the day we checked out and made you feel like you were staying with friends. The best part was being able to walk to the Trevi Fountain 5 minutes away at 11PM after all the herds or tourists were gone and enjoy the beauty and culture of Rome unmolested. If you are looking for a sterile hotel that could be located anywhere in the world this is not your place. If you want to enjoy Rome and its culture this is the place to stay.
