Businesss in Vatican - Prati

This was our first trip to Rome and we couldn't have wished for a better, more convenient place to base ourselves. Our room was modern, well equipped, clean, quiet and very comfortable with a wonderful (sideways) view of the Vatican. The staff were very courteous and helpful. We can't wait to go back.

Of all the staff Francesco at the front desk was extremely friendly, helpful and personable. The entire staff was very professional and Antonietta, the head housekeeper, was an absolute gem. The two bartenders Ekaterina and Alessandra were pleasant and young and beautiful and I tought them how to make a proper gin martini. The location of the hotel is perfect. The view from the rooftop was amazing. It was right by the main transportation hub for the Vatican, so if you needed to get anywhere in or near Rome, you could get to it from there. At the same time, it was not in the over-touristed portion of town with the high prices and junk vendors and crowds. Rather, the local places to grab a capuccino or a bite to eat or even go shopping were all places where the locals went. If you are the kind of traveller who would rather spend time in a little cafe surrounded by locals who don't know English than in a place will a staff well versed in English and the other customers who need it, then I think you would prefer this location. While we were there, we were not averse to walking and were able to see almost all of Rome by foot. However we were also able to take the metro and buses to the farther points like Trastavere and Ostia. We took a bus to the Colleseum, but others in the hotel walked there and back. There is a very nice buffet style breakfast that would satisfy American and European alike.

My wife and I stayed there for 2 days and the hotel was GREAT, the Food was Great, the people who delivered bags and food to the rooms were Great, the wait staff and bartender was not only GREAT but Domenico the bartender was truly a Gentleman and made the hotel the best place my wife and I have ever stayed at in Europe. By the way Domenico did it all in the restaurant but cook. He spoke with my wife and I, when he wasn't busy and made our stay at the hotel quiet a pleasure. Now the BUT....... The Front Desk needs a lesson in humility, and to get off their high horse. This seemed to be the general issue with most people we spoke with.

A sudden decision to spend Christmas away from home turned into an unforgettable experience.

We had a really pleasant stay at the Leonardo. The breakfast was great: I enjoyed the freshly squeezed fruit juices, particularly the broccoli and red grape juice. The staff was very helpful especially as regards directions and generally finding our way around. The hotel is near the Vatican but away from the bustle, which suited us very well. Our room was clean and comfortable and the complimentary Wi-Fi worked perfectly.

We arrived at Dei Mellini to a warm welcome, were given a map which was very useful. Our room was lovely and the breakfast great with plenty of choice.

This hotel was excellent for a short break with friends.

The staff at the hotel were great! The rooms are very nice and clean, but a little small as all European hotel rooms seem to be. King beds and rollaways are available which isn't always the case overseas. The food in the hotel restaurant was wonderful, as was the service. The concierge and really anyone working the front desk graciously helped us with all requests, from restaurant and tour recommendations to extra room keys, taxis and change. The bellmen were all sweet as could be as well. Though we were there in the winter and didn't use it, the pool area and grounds looked amazing, they said the only pool in the city, with the exception of some small rooftop pools. Decent workout room, although a little small, it had everything one would need to get in a good workout. Because of location, not completely necessary as we found ourselves walking everywhere. The "tea room" off the lobby was a beautiful and comfortable place to sit and talk, play cards or read. Overall a fantastic experience and I would definitely return.
