My apologies to the wonderful folks at Roma Five Suites for this overdue review.
My wife and I stayed here for almost a week at the beginning of May 2025. Her first trip to Italy ever, for me the first in over 20 years and the first not for business.
I was initially reluctant to book at a small unknown hotel — I’ve never stayed at a “boutique” hotel before and wanted my wife’s first experience in Italy to be positive.
I overcame my reluctance after reading many positive reviews from prior guests and am very happy I did.
The rooms were updated and extremely comfortable for our stay. While I was initially concerned at the idea of there not being any staff in attendance after 5pm or so, any fears were totally unfounded.
We could not have asked for a better location for what we were looking for. Literally around corner of the Monument to Victor Emmanuel. The Coliseum and Forum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain — and shopping — all in easy walking distance.
Our biggest regret was probably having reserved early morning tickets for many sites in order to beat the crowds — we did indeed beat the crowds most places, but that also meant missing some of the breakfasts that were prepared for the guests by Pietro, the owner, with great care and attention to detail. Every morning he presented selections of fresh fruit and pastries, local ham and prosciutto, quiches, freshly squeezed juice and cappuccino.
The trip would have been successful and memorable regardless, but our everlasting thanks and gratitude to Pietro, Elena, and all the rest of the wonderful staff at Roma Five Suites for making it even more so. Ciao and grazie.
