My short but fruitful stay in Rome was memorable thanks in part to the very pleasant hotel accomodation that is Piccollo Imperiale.

From the moment I set-foot in the guest house, I was greeted by the friendly and welcoming Ms. Elena Silvia. She gladly showed me to my room and patiently showed me the map of Roma and highlighted the key sites for me to visit for my short 3-day visit & gave me several useful tips to get around the city. She also arranged a cab-pickup from/to airport to ensure that we won't get "ripped-off".

It's in very close proximity to Castel Sant'Angelo (5mins walk), Vatican City (15 mins walk), Spanish Steps and all other cultural sites.

Over-all, the hostel has met my expectations and real value for money! And with regards to the staff service I received, it far exceeded my expectations.

I will definitely recommend Picollo Imperiale to all my friends who'll be visiting Roma!!!

Very clean and well managed guest house. The staff was very helpful and no problem for late check in arrangement. The hotel is siutated within walking distance from the river and the historic Castel Sant'Angelo. The only thing that should be better is the breakfast and the dining facilities. In the area you can find very nice resturants and enjoy you beer in a very peaceful athmosphere.

Whenever my husband and I are in Rome we usually stay in this wonderful little hotel in the Prati neighborhood. They were already booked when we wanted to stay there in Italy's high season of early October. They recommended the Piccolo Imperiale which was just around the corner. We sent an email to them and we reserved a room. When we arrived there, they said they had no room for us, but could accomodate us in an empty apartment just down the street. Well, the apartment was huge and the only furnished room was the bedroom!! The apartment had no telephone which made it difficult for friends to get in touch with us or to even leave messages. I was very dissapointed that we were lied to. The hotel finally was able to accomodate us on our last day in Rome and put us in a room the size of a closet. I would not recommend this place especially if you have been on a plane for 14 hours and need a place to relax. I just wish they would have been honest with us upfront so we could have stayed somewhere else. That's all I wanted, honesty!! To make matters worse, I met 2 English ladies who were stuck in the same situation I was. They were also part of this overbooking scam....
