Hotel Fori Imperiali Cavalieri - Rome

3.4

price too expensive if you consider the spaciousness of bedroom and bathroom

8.6

The hotel is well situated for the historic sites in Rome so was very good for sightseeing, particularly as my Mum is older. The rooms were quite small but well appointed and the air-conditioning was great as Rome in summer is very hot and humid. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. the actual street the hotel is in is rather crummy looking so if you are offended by graffiti it may not be the place for you - but Rome is just like that and it wasn't in any way threatening. Good trattoria on the corner with perfectly acceptable house wine.

9.2

ottimo hotel in centro a due passi dal colosseo e piazza venezia,masoprattutto a 2 passi dalla metro che con 1 fermata porta a termini.pulito,curato,tv via satellite,ottima colazione continentale

5.2

The staff should train to welcome their customers. Room was OK, quiet and the hotel very near coliseum

3.9

The Sice of rooms are very small and it is uncomfortable.

9.6

Hotel muy recomendable, buena ubicación cerca del Coliseo y del Vittoriano, excelente atención, salvo el recepcionista del primer día que parecía enojado. La habitación correcta, con una pequeña terraza propia con vista a una tranquila calle. Desayuno completo y sabroso. Realmente para volver.

9.5

We have been to Rome second time. The staff of Hotel are friendly, hospitable.

9.9

Fori Imperiali Cavalieri was absolute perfection--the staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were great, the breakfast with made-to-order cappuccinos, the location, etc... Everything was even better than I expected!

4.9

While the staff was most helpful, the quality of the room is not anything like what is reflected in the photos. Everything is old and dingy.

8.4

The hotel is very nice, with polite staff, clean rooms and great view - Colosseum

8.3

Quiet location very convenient to colosseum, metro & buses.Several restaurants within walking distance.Very good for a short stay.Room small but very quiet.

5.6

Reception staff was very friendly and efficient. Public areas were very nice, clean and refurbished. Breakfast was also very nice. The location of the hotel is perfect, there was also few nice restaurants in the area. The only problem we had was the room. Originally we were given 203, it was small, smelly and the decor was extremly old. I have never seen room like this. Bathroom was also not nice and old. We changed the room after 2 nights and it was a bit better.

7.6

Very nice hotel in good location, clean, hot water, nice roof terrace, good standard euro breakfast. Highly recommended.

7.5

Considering this hotel is a brief stroll from the Colleseum and Roman Forum it was in a quiet street away from the noise of Italian traffic and crowds of tourists, though can't say the same for other guests. Comfortable rooms, lovely views from roof terrace, and helpful staff.

9.8

I would recommend this hotel to anyone who asked. While our room was not large, it was perfect for our needs. The bathroom was more spacious than I had anticipated, and both the room and the bathroom were very clean. Breakfast was excellent, with sliced meat, cheese, toast, four kinds of cereal, yogourt, and pastries. The location can not be beat--so close to the Forum and Colosseum, yet quiet at night, with lots of restaurants around for dinner. I'm not sure how it would be for children, since we didn't have ours with us, but I would highly recommend this hotel for couples of any age and for business travellers.

7.2

The location was great, just 2 blocks from Colisseo and also near a lot of restaurants, bars, bus and Metro station. The problem was that the room was very little. If you want to walk a little more, maybe you can pay less in a good and cheaper hotel near Roma Termini

8.9

This is a great location, just walk down the street and you can see the colosseum. The breakfast is great and the staff were polite and accomodating. Our room had the private double layered terrace and was spacious especially by European standards. I really appreciated the great water pressure in the shower and the comfy pillows on the bed. We slept with the windows open a couple of evenings and we were not bothered by noise except for an overly enthusiastic seagull on the house behind us.

9.7

The breakfast had improved since my last visit.

8.3

We are a couple in our 40s with 13 and 9 year old daughters. We visited Rome April 21-26, 2008 and spent 5 nights in a 4 person room on the second floor of this great hotel (has an elevator if you get tired by the end of a long day). It is located in a very quiet street (Via Frangipane) but yet only a 5 min walk from the Roman Forum, 10 min walk from the Coliseum, 10 min cab ride to the Vatican City and overall very accessible to all major sites in ancient Rome. There are numerous of restaurants within a walking distance. The hotel overall was sparkling clean. The room was spacious in European terms. 1 queen size bed and 2 separate single beds for the girls. Very nice bathroom (no bathtub), a safe, 15” TV (if you care about that when you visit Italy…). Excellent breakfast is served between 7am-10am which was very filling to us (the cappuccino was awesome!). The breakfast staff was very attentive in refilling missing items. The front desk staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. They spoke decent English and assisted us with recommendations to local restaurants, checking for opening hours, calling cabs and such.

2.9

The hotel is very well located but it's really very expensive for what you have(very small and noisy rooms, very small bathrooms,...). In other countries this hotel would be a 2 stars hotel. Pictures on the site don't correspond to the real size of the premises (rooms and common areas). Employees are very kind and always ready to help you.

8.4

Very competent & pleasant smallish hotel in an excellent location close to the Colosseum & Forum. The street was quiet, neighbours in the adjoining rooms less so!

9.1

Superbly located hotel, just 2 blocks from the Forum in one direction and 2 blocks from the Colosseum in the other direction. On a quiet back street, so rooms are quiet (by Rome standards, anyway). Breakfast buffet was excellent - best croissants ever, lots of variety and very nice cappucino. Lovely roof top garden as well. As other reviewers have said - don't expect a lot of space per euro spent in Rome - but we had plenty of room in our family room which accomodated all 4 of us nicely. The only downside - hard, hard beds.

7.0

Top attraction of this hotel was its location. 2 Min walk from the Coliseum and the Metro, even closer to a host of Cafe's, restaurants and shops. Breakfast is fairly average but get there early if you want a full selection. Rooms were slightly less appealing than the pictures on the web site suggest but very clean and no real complaints. We stayed in Rome for 3 nights and found the hotel to be in an excellent position for sight seeing. Most of the obvious sights and attractions are walkable from here but you may wish to use the metro for the Vatican which is 2 mins away. On the whole I enjoyed the hotel. Good value at less than 150 Euros per night but expensive if advertised at more.

5.3

We stayed in tho single rooms, because we are mother and grown-up son. The rooms was very small. Photographs and presentation is far from the reality. The hotel is ok, but the staff is not so serviceminded. The breakfast is poor and the rooms too small to be a three stars hotel, more like London - exspensive.

8.0

Excellent location, reasonably friendly staff and quite clean. The rooms are small, and not all the same for the same price. We came on vacation with another couple and their room was tiny and not nearly as pretty as ours (furnishings, decorations, bathroom fixtures), and had a bathroom half the size of ours without a tub, but the price was identical.

8.7

This property is in a very good location for the forums and the Collsieum. The hotel is located on a small back street and therefore is very quiet in the midst of a busy area. Our room was small but sufficient and the breakfast was very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again when in Rome.

7.4

The service form the staff was generally good, but we could wish some more smiling faces and hospitality.

8.0

Very confortable hotel. The relation quality vs.price is very good. Good restaurantes sorrounding.

9.1

We've been to Rome twice and will definitely be going again. We will stay at this hotel again as the location was superb and the quality was excellent. The staff were always willing to help out. They even provided cork-screws and plates when we brought groceries for roof-top dining. From this hotel, we walked 10 - 15 km every day. There were several (less crowded) treasures within a 30 minute walk of the hotel. The metro was a few minutes away, which was nice at the end of the day. The restaurant they recommend was one of the best we've ever been to.

9.8

A quiet comfortable hotel in a convenient location. We had a very good meal in a nearby restaurant recommended by hotel reception - same name as hotel and a couple of streets away.

8.1

The hotel was comforable and was in an ideal location.

7.3

Our second visit to the Fori Imperiali and we will return again when visiting Rome. Location is ideal for the Colosseum and Forum and is surrounded by reasonably priced family run restaurants. On our previous visit we were offerred a free aperitivo in the Hotel bar each evening and took advantage of the same this visit, only to find on departure that the free service had been withdrawn. Credit to the Manager for reducing our Bar bill when realising the misunderstanding.

10

A terrific little hotel - we enjoyed our stay very much and the location was terrific. Staff very friendly and helpful and great breakfast to start the day.

9.9

Very pleasant even though little English spoken. Room was very nice with a huge new bathroom. breakfast was very nice. A bit hard to find like everything in Rome and probably a bit hard to walk to for someone not steady on their feet--like everything in Rome! Overall, very, very nice and a great location.

9.7

This hotel is located just a couple of blocks from the Colosseum on a very cute side street. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had is we could hear everything our neighbors said as they were going into their rooms. Otherwise, this hotel is very nice.

8.4

The room was nice. the location was good, and the people were very helpful.

7.3

Bon acceuil, bien situé et calme. Dommage que par ce type de réservation, l'hotel ne vous donne que les plus petites chambres alors qu'il n'était pas complet!!!

9.7

Firstly the location of this hotel is second to none - 2 minutes walk to the Colosseum and everything else only a few minutes walk away. There is also a Metro close by which we caught to get to the Vatican nice and early to try to avoid the queues! You had views of the Colosseum from the roof terrace and we thoroughly enjoyed having a beer up there at the end of a day of sightseeing! The rooms were very clean and pleasant, not gigantic but perfect for people more interested in seeing the city of Rome than a hotel room! Staff were very helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay at this hotel next time we visit Rome and we would recommend it to others. A top hotel!

8.3

This is a charming small hotel tucked away in the tangle of streets between Via Cavour and the Colosseum. It is therefore an ideal base for all the major historic attractions and Metro links at Cavour and Colosseo are a five minute walk away. There are numerous small restaurants to choose from in the immediate vicinity. We would recommend a stay there. Our only real criticism would be with the shower (hand held) annoying if you're not used to it and the showerhead would have benefited from a de-coke. Reception staff, chambermaids and breakfast waiter were very friendly and helpful.

10

I recently travelled throughout Europe, and I went to Rome twice. I had originally booked a different hotel for my second stay in Rome, but I had such a wonderful experience at this hotel, that I had to return. The service was the best I received while in Europe. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that I was completely satisfied. They were very helpful and very courteous. The hotel offered a great breakfast. The rooms were very clean and the location was perfect. Everytime I visit Rome, I will always stay at this hotel. I highly recommend it!

8.0

What a great location. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast room had a strong musky smell. Price seemed high compared with other similar hotels we had stayed at throughout northern Italy - guessing it must be Rome. Overall it was a good experience at the Fori.

10

Stayed a total of 5 nights and was very satisfied. Talk to Carlo and you will be served very well... Very close to the coloseum

9.5

Très bon hôtel, correspondant strictement à son descriptif. Très propre, literie impeccable, très calme. Petit déjeuner satisfaisant. Personnel attentionné. Il faut marcher un peu (environ 15 mn)pour se rapprocher des centres d'intérêts de la ville. L'hôtel est cependant près (5 mn) d'une station de métro.

8.2

On our confirmation, the comments from Fori Imperiali Cavalieri regarding pickup from the airport was very useful. Arranging for this service was quite easy since their website had an online concierge/receptionist. Location was quite good - - close to Colosseum, Forum, Vatican (via metropolitana). The continental breakfasts were delicious because of the variety of foods - nice selection. The only problem was the sliding petitions of the shower. It needs caulking because it leaked. The bathroom floor was very wet afterwards. The air conditioning had to be reset a couple of times, but the staff were very helpful in this and all other requests.

9.8

Cold AC especially overnight. Quiet, even after Italy won a world cup match! Great location. Imperiali restauraunt around the corner was excellent. Close to subway and easy to find. Bankomat and Touist Inforamtion close by! Highly recommended!

10

We stayed in three hotels on our trip to Italy and this was by far the best in every way - location, service, attentiveness of staff, breakfast, value. Great visit, great memories.

8.1

bathroom little bit too small

10

Liked this hotel so much. Stayed twice now. Look forward to staying again. Staff create a family atmosphere.

9.8

This was a great hotel for the money. We had 8 people, both new travelers and seasoned international veterans and all agreed, that for a true Italian hotel experience this was great! (Remember, European hotels have small showers, but in this hotel the bathrooms themselves were a good size.) It is about a block from the Coloseum but on a quiet, very safe, classically small street. Two blocks from Via Cavour for many restaurants and shops. We usually ate in the neighborhood, small friendly restaurants within 50 to 100 feet from hotel. Underground station right across from Coloseum, walk to Forum and most major sites (Pantheon, Trevi Fountain within 15 minutes). Hotel is run by a family, Cavalieri brothers and they could not do enough for you. They also own a winery so make sure you try their wine at complementary happy hour around 7:30 pm. in the breakfast room. Breakfast buffet is great with everything you would expect, cereal to meat and cheese. Also, had a roof top area where we had a few dinners of store bought cold cuts, bread, cheese and the Cavalieri wine, overlooking the backstreets and roof top gardens of a great Italian neighboorhood, classic and romantic. One great advantage of the location was that even people who had never been to Rome before, were not afraid to venture out by cab or on foot because all they had to do to get back was say "Take me to the Coloseum".

7.0

good local transport except on sundays; do not plan to arrive on sunday. slightly overpriced.

9.5

The location was excellent. On a small side street so it was quiet but still close to the main sites except the Vatican. Hotel was clean and staff was helpful. They let us store our luggage after we checked out while we went siteseeing. They even fixed us free coffee while we waited for our taxi. Room was clean and spacious for Europe and you can't beat the price. Will for sure stay there again on our next trip to Rome

9.6

My sister and I stayed here early September. It was the first hotel we stayed in while in Italy and one of the least expensive. We found that the room was exactly what it looked like on the internet and for the price it was good value for money. The location is fantastic, right near the Colosseum and easy walking distance to two metro stations. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Rome (good continental buffet with lots of different choices). The hotel, whilst near a main road, was accessed from a small cobbled street which was extremely quiet. I'd definitely stay here again and would recommend it.

7.7

We were very pleased with the hotel and location, two blocks from the ancient city. We were especially pleased with the helpfulness of the staff in recommending an exellent resturant within walking distance of the hotel

8.6

Excellent stay and good restuarant recomendations. I especialy enjoyed the hotels own wine

8.7

The hotel was actually ver close to the Colosseo. It was in a more residential area so it was quiet and the local restarants were good. The hotel staff was excellent and their communication was great. They even recommended a small restarant close by that was excellent. I would definitely recommend this hotel as many people that we spoke to during our trip did not have near the good experience that we did.

9.9

Amazing location,very clean,friendly,quiet,modern hotel in the oldest part of the city. I would stay there again. If you are taking a taxi from Termini, it should cost about 8 euro(we were charged 24 euro, watch out for rip-offs).

5.5

Room was small and space just taken up with a huge bed. The bathroom was like a cupboard with a sliding door - doesn't do much for your privacy! Ideal location for sight seeing though and nice and quiet being slightly tucked away.

5.1

Das Hotel hat eine super Lage für die Stadtbesichtigung zu Fuß und mit der Metro. Die Zimmer sind extrem klein, aber sehr ruhig. Das Personal könnte freundlicher sein, dafür gibt es aber ein reichhaltiges Frühstück mit nettem Service.

8.8

The hotel is in a perfect spot near everything (metro, forum, etc). It's beautiful and very clean. The rooms were nice, but a little small. I would stay here again, and recommend it.

9.6

The hotel has a wonderful location- within easy walking distance of the Coleseum and the metro station. There is a nice restaurant just around the corner. Our room was large, very clean, with updated bathroom facilites. The one night that we stayed there was very quiet. The staff was helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was good enough and the capucino was excellent! We would definitely stay in this hotel again. For Rome, it offers good value for the money.

7.7

Excellant stay. Location is fantastic, right on the doorstep of the Forum and Colisseum. The single rooms are quite small but this is reflected in the price (very reasonable compared to similarly located hotels). The staff were very helpful and professional. Perfect if you want to be close to the historic sights.

8.9

Nice hotel, good location near Coliseum/Ancient Rome. A little hard to find, map on their website points to wrong place. Helpful staff, let us leave our bags after we'd checked out. Room was quiet, air con a little noisy. Room not massive but beds comfortable. Excellent buffet breakfast included. A bit dear(140 Euro for room) but Rome is expensive.

8.7

Great hotel: excellent location for visiting the ancient city, effective air-conditioning, great breakfast, very competent staff. Rooms were very quiet in terms of location, although some fellow guests were very noisy! Would definitely stay there again.

7.9

This was a great location for sightseeing in Rome and only two subway stops from the train station. We found the hotel to be very good but very expensive for the size of room. We were a family group of 4 cramped into a small room, but I think this is typical of Rome. We enjoyed the roof top terrace, and the breakfast was better than most in Italy.

8.3

Nice hotel, good location (a little hard to find at night), excellent staff (helpful and spoke English), spacious & clean rooms, very good breakfast, a little pricey but, would stay there again, would recommend to others.

9.7

Hotel and staff made our holidays in rome really memorable! Thanks a lot! Karin and Peter Hief

7.4

really quiet room in the middle of rome near colosseum! you can do nearly all attractions by foot, but also metro in the very near. breakfast not very rich, but really o.k. for an italian breakfast! service friendly but little impersonally. For these with back-ache: We had very, very good mattresses!! Would go there again!

9.8

Ideal central location for all Rome's major sites, 5 mins walk from Forum and Colliseum . Hotel was v.good, breakfast was excellent, staff very helpful and friendly. We will use this hotel next time we are in Rome.

9.8

Four us shared a large double room with a firm sofa bed added- very comfortable. We had a large roof terrace just for us which was a real suntrap.Excellent bathroom and air-con included. The breakfast buffet was huge by Italian standards! The helpful staff were always ready to make us decent coffee during the evening. The locality was excellent for us- just a couple of minutes from a metro station yet in a picturesque and quiet backstreet across the road from The Colosseum and The Forum. There were several restaurants within a couple of minutes north. We ended up paying about E65 per night per head- a bargain we all felt

9.6

The quadruple room is great for the money. The location is ideal. The outside of the hotel and street looked a little shabby..but inside simple and clean.Lots of hot water. two single beds were a bit sad but queen was firm and good. Ideal location to colloseum and forum and metro. when you add breakfast for 5 into the equation room was quite reasonabl.Neat little restaurant Cleto near by.

8.0

Excellent location 3 minutes walk from Forum and Colosseum and in quiet street. Rooms slightly tired. Pleasant staff.

9.5

As a family group (2 adults and 2 kids under 7) we wanted a family room, close to some tourist attractions and fairly quiet. This hotel satisfied all counts. We would happily return.

6.4

Bathroom poorly cleaned. Dust under wardrobe and bed. Range and quality of food at Breakfast very poor.

6.9

The hotel was clean, warm, comfortable and very central. Only problem was I had booked a twin room and it was a double. This meant my friend and I had to share the large bed for one night as we didn't arrive till late. However, they were very sorry and couldn't do enough to help, even offering us a glass of wine and by the time we had finished breakfast the next day the bed had been split and twin beds made up.

9.5

The front desk staff were extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations and arranging airport transportation. They spoke English very well. Breakfast was nice. Hotel's location is excellent for walking tours. TV reception was poor. Would recommend this hotel to friends.

8.8

All in all, a very pleasant stay.Would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

9.8

The location, for quick access to the classical area of Rome, is perfect. You are in the Roman Forum within 5 mins of leaving the hotel. It is just far enough away from the main roads to be very quiet, even on the roof terrace - an excellent area to catch up on some peaceful reading after a long day's exploring. The staff, from the reception, to the cleaners and the breakfast servers are the most pleasant and polite my wife and I have ever experienced. I recommend this hotel to any traveller and look forward to many more visits.

8.1

Pleasant hotel in quiet street adjacent to the Forum and 400 m from the Colosseum. Good public transport (buses and tube). Good Italian restaurant direct around the corner.

7.1

Pay a little more to stay right in the heart of things. Although if you book 2 days before your arrival you can save 20%.

7.5

Excellent location. Very clean hotel with good facilities.

9.6

Good location on a quiet street near the Colosseum only a couple of minutes from the Metro but also walking distance to most of the main attractions. Staff were friendly and the rooms were clean. Would definitely stay there again as it was a good price for the standard of accommodation and location.

9.4

The room was fairly small but comfortable with air conditioning which worked very well. The staff were friendly and helpful, most of the reception staff spoke English. It is situated in a small, very quiet side street literally 2 mins walk from the Forum and from Via Cavour. I would definitely stay there again.

9.9

This hotel is a real gem. The location is superb; just a stone's throw from the Forum and Coluseum. The staff are welcoming and the regstration and check-out procedures were very friendly and efficient. We had a quadruple room for the family which was spacious, spotlessly clean and had an efficient and quiet air conditioning which was essential in mid-July. Also a mini-bar which was useful for storing cold water etc. It was also excellent value for money. Breakfast is included altough you do need a sweet tooth! We will definitely use this hotel on any return visits and would unreservedly recommend ths to others.

9.1

A RARE quiet street/area, but still so close to the M and Colosseum! Very convenient. Staff was very nice. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again

5.5

Location is great-- a few steps from the colleseum. The rooms are (like always) small. Bathroom clean. Old fashioned blow dryher/hair dryer. A/C system great, chilly! Has safe and susual ammenities in the room. Room is almost colonial in the decorations-- plain blue with a white molding. It was decent but I wouldn't stay here for a special occasion. people up front were nonchalante but helped if you asked. The waitor was esp nice. They refused to upgrade us to a nicer room since it was our honeymoon though. Breakfast delish-- esp the cake/torte with cream filling!

9.2

Enjoyed our stay. Good location, a short walk to "everything". Clean and competent. Our vacation coincided with "escrow closing" on a house in California and the staff went out of their way, at 1am one night, to help us faxing and communicating with the bank and the realtor back in the US.

7.4

Hotel is very near the Colosseum and Forum. It is sutiated on an alley/street so noise is not an issue. The Forum area is not known for its restaurants and shopping so if this is your thing, you may want to look somewhere else. If on the other hand you like ruins, this hotel is perfectly situated.

9.8

We would and have already recommended to family and friends. The location is unbelievable and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

8.4

just what we wanted for marathon thank you very much

9.4

This hotel is a hidden gem, and its proximity to the coliseum adds to its appeal. The rooms are an ideal size and to a high standard and also has a spacious sized bathroom. Reception was most polite and extremely helpful and breakfast was plentiful If I had to find fault - then all I could say is that some of the surrounding buildings looked a bit shabby - but DO NOT let that put you off the hotel

8.7

great place to stay for a few days and to be able to walk to all interest places. Nice view from roofterrace..Breakfast must be better however. But staff are really nice and willing to help you with any kind of problems..by the way, just around the corner there is a great restaurant and on the other side of the mainroad there are 2 perfect restaurants for not much money. Great city Rome! Tutti Minuti!!

8.9

The hotel is situated perfectly for walking the centre of Rome. The staff are excellent particularly on reception. The level of English is great & the hotel can't do enough to ensure that you have a good stay. The only draw back for smokers is that you cannot smoke in the bar area - understandable however. Also being picky, it would of been nice to have fresh italian bread at breakfast. I would recommend this hotel without hesitation.

6.9

The airco is noisy and blows way to strong, the bathroom is smal and had some faulty bits, furthermore i like to get a suntan, but nut from the spots in the elevator, witch was making it a verry hot expirience.

7.4

naturally rooms are fotographed to look more spacious and welcoming was rather short and easy; nevertheless service was really nice and helpfull. furthermore the hotel is a perfect place for long weekends - central location, quiet place and really cheap referring to its shape ! wish you a nice vacance ;-)

8.7

Superb quiet location in central Rome near Coliseum. Very friendly service. The quiet air conditioning was a serious benefit during the hottest period in July! We will certainly return here.

9.7

Only one complaint: there was oly white sliced bread at breakfast. A selection of breads/rolls would have been better.

5.8

no info about € 30.- per night parking the car!!!!!!!!! thats realy poor!!!

9.8

A clean, bright, very quiet, newly modernised hotel, with friendly and very helpful English-speaking staff. The only problem we had was in sending emails from the free Internet service - only a few arrived.

7.8

Hotel centrally situated in quiet street - a table in the room would be nice - double rooms are getting a bit small if they are used as triple or even quadruples (1 double bed and 2 convertible sofas). All in all a good place to stay.

9.8

Truly an exceptional value for your money. Great ubication and excelente service. Highly recommended.
