“Great location, great Hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We are just back from Rome after spending three days in the Hotel Forte. TEveryone working in the Hotel, from the cleaning staff to the front desk were very friendly and did everything to make our stay a comfortable one. The breakfast was lovely served by a very competent lady who greeted us with a smile every morning. Breakfast had the usual cheeses and meats but there was scrambled egg, sausage and bacon also available. The breakfast room is small but cosy and adequate for what is required. The hotel location is perfect if you enjoy 'retail therapy' , however, we just enjoyed the sights and the nice selection of restaurants and bars nearby. The room we had was very quiet and the bed was exceptionally comfortable - a must after sight-seeing all day. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome, it was excellent value for money and WE WILL BE BACK.

“Only if you really really have to!”

We had to stay at this hotel as Hotel Manfredi was full for our last night. It was a big mistake. Please see separate review for Hotel Manfredi which is in the same building. Hotel Forte was so much below our expectations. The only good thing is obviously the location. There was not even a room to leave our luggage. They just left them on the corridor. We did not even consider having breakfast at the hotel, therefore I cannot comment on the breakfast. The room was a standard room but it was very tiny even for Rome standards. There was no place to put our luggage. We were too tired to look for another hotel, but I really wish that we did!

Dear Sir/Madam

I regret very much that you have not enjoyed our hotel. I tried to climb into that room you were but I could not, in fact are not even able to figure out who you are, since checking all customers who stayed at the Hotel Manfredi in September came even one ... however, as you can see from other reviews, ours is a small hotel, which seeks to establish a relationship with their guests very friendly and family, our first goal is to make people feel as if they were at home, and very often succeed. Some rooms are quite small (in fact, are called small double) but many others are very large (and are called double standard). What I do not understand is why when you saw the room, since you had no reservation as you wrote, you did not change hotels? If you had asked him to us, we will also help you find a hotel in the area that was to your liking, as I said our first goal is not profit, but to please the guests. I hope you will give us a second chance, we'll be here waiting.

Best Regards
Leonardo Inzillo

“Three berlin people in rome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We were with our daughter in Rome and had a triple room booked at the Hotel Forte for 5 days. This was an excellent choice. The room was adequate on the size, very clean and the bathroom even had a bathtub. The breakfast buffet was delicious. Located near the Spanish Steps, are also within reach of many attractions on foot. As the hotel is located in a side street, it is far from the Roman road. Only from 7:30 am it is loud for half an hour when school starts. If we at some point again in Rome, Hotel Forte will again be first choice.

“EXCELLENT”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

Very nice hotel in the city centre - basically close to everything. Good breakfast for Italy, very helpful staff which is speaking several languages, clean rooms - we stayed in a standard double room and it was perfect for the 2 of us, very clean! Bathroom was very clean, too. All in All a very good *** hotel ! I would definitley book it again. Rome is a stunning city, you find yourself in the middle of historical sites everywhere. Very fascinating!

“Great hotel in Rome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

A rather late review as our stay was early September 2011. We found this hotel to be in a quiet location but still close to everything. We loved the choices at breakfast as a cooked breakfast is not always available in Rome. The staff were friendly and helpful and our room clean and a good size for 2 as we were not there to stay in our room all day!!! The bottle of Chianti in our room was delicious and a nice welcoming touch. Would recommend a visit to this quaint hotel near the Spanish Steps.
