Spent one night in the Cellini as we were transiting through Rome. The hotel itself is on a small street and occupies the second floor of an unobtrusive building. There are a couple of steps that you'll need to carry your luggage up to reach the landing where the elevator is situated. It's located near the centre of Rome, is close to the Metro, and has quite a number of restaurants close by.||Hotel staff are amazing. They responded quickly to our email queries prior to arrival and organized car service for us from the airport to the hotel and the following day on departure. We were warmly greeted on arrival by Daniel, who also provided wonderful help regarding nearby sights, dining, etc. Our room was clean, very spacious and comfortably appointed. ||Similar to what was mentioned by other reviewers, I did find the shower/tub situation slightly inconvenient. You essentially have to step up into a tub to take a shower. The tub is a bit slippery and would be well-served by anti-slip strips. The small half glass partition attached to the tub also doesn't block all of the water spraying around so expect to find a little water on the floor after your shower. My other minor quibble relates to the window coverings. Our room had sheers, which diffuse light, and side panel curtains (these are only decorative and do not close, so the window is essentially only covered by sheers). Our room was immediately adjacent to the breakfast terrace so our window looked right out onto it. There was an outside latticed privacy screen for the terrace, but I was still a bit weirded out that people outside, either on the terrace or in one of the other buildings closely overlooking our window might be able to see inside our room, especially if the room lights are on. Yes, noise does carry in the morning when the staff prepare the breakfast buffet, but it wasn't a big deal. The buffet itself was enjoyable, with plenty of food choices. Regardless of the shower and curtains, we'd still 100% stay here again since the hotel was very nice, is in a great location and the staff are so wonderful.||Thank you to all the Cellini staff, particularly Daniel and Mel, for your hospitality! We hope to be back soon!
