BAILEY'S (***L): This hotel enjoys a superb location in the historical centre of Rome. After a  few minutes walk, guests can reach the Via Veneto Trinta’ dei Monti, and the Spanish Steps where you will find a magnificent arcade of elegant shops.  

The 29 stylish, spotless rooms of this elegant and exclusive 19th Century palazzo, recently converted into a first class boutique hotel, feature all modern comforts (satellite television, minibar, IDD telephone...). All are lavishly furnished and decently sized: we particularly liked the deluxe rooms, larger, and with a view a the quiet street. 

Note that a rich Buffet Breakfast is included in the room rate. Many money saving promotions available. 
  
Excellent desk service, by a helpful and friendly staff.

MARCELLA ROYAL (***L): In the heart of Rome, strategically located next to Via Veneto, the spanish steps, the Trevi fountain and all the main historical monuments of the city, this deluxe boutique hotel offers 85 elegant and welcoming rooms and suites: all equipped with the best in comfort, from air conditioning to sat TV with free movies, minibar and private safe. The rate remains good value for money, not to say quite low compared with the Rome standards: about EURO 150 - 220, depending of the season. 

We actually like to warmly recommend this fine property for its 500 sq.m roof garden: blooming just like an oasis of beauty and tranquility, offering a breathtaking view of the Eternal City, with its unforgetable skyline. This is where a most generous breakfast, courtesy of the house, welcomes the clientele every morning: either in the Panorama room or, during the good season, right on the terrace... surrounded by thousands of flowers!!! So romantic!!! This is also where, every evening, guests can have a light dinner, listening the enchanting melodies of the piano. 

The Marcella Royal is centrally  located, so that you can easily walk to reach the most important monuments and points of interest: such as the famous Via Veneto, just a few minutes away. The hotel is anyway located next to the main transportation services of the city : 8 minutes walk from TERMINI railway station, to the subway and right next to the bus stop to reach every side of the city. 

All the front desk personnel has been especially trained to please the guests. Anticipating like in a five star deluxe hotel. 

One of the best boutique hotels in Rome.

GAMBRINUS (***):  Strategically located near Piazza Fiume. In Rome main diplomatic and ministerial district; turning by night into a reputed discotheques, theatres, restaurants and pizzerias row where the "Dolce Vita" shows up. A few minutes walk from the Villa Borghese and its splendid park, the Museo della Casina delle Civette, the Canonica Museum, the Zoo and the up market Via Veneto and Via Nazionale shopping streets. Near the Repubblica and Termini metro stations (making any business or tourist spot easily reachable): 

We actually found here an ideal, recently refurbished, and superb three star alternative to Rome four and five star expensive hotels!  

One look at the lovingly furnished and richly equipped brand new superior tourist class rooms will decide the most distinctive travellers to book at the GAMBRINUS. Despite of its intimate size (58 rooms only), the hotel displays four kind of rooms. Should you choose a Double Deluxe Capri, Bella Vienna, Impero, or Ducale (roughly distinguished by the colour of the fabrics, rather than by the comfort which is fairly high everywhere), all those air conditioned guest rooms have a lovely bathroom, hair dryer, IDD telephone, satellite & pay TV, minibar, iron board, and private safe deposit. Which make the GAMBRINUS hotel looking like much more four rather than three star, indeed! Direct fax and internet service is available, making businessmen life easier. Note that there is a disable room on the first floor, with direct lift access from hall entrance. 

Many services are provided. The hotel has a cozy and friendly bar, opened 24 hours. Limousine and minibus are available by simple request. Cars can be safely parked near the hotel, at a fee:  US$ 11.  

Despite of such a situation, comfort and high level of service, this fine hotel remains actually affordable. Rate  for a Double Deluxe is approximately US$ 115 - 160. Triple Deluxe  US$ 200 - 250. Family Room US$ 220-289. Single Deluxe go for only  US$ 90 - 120. Including a delicious breakfast, all taxes and services charge. Money saving offers are available.
