If you have seen the movie Eat, Pray, Love you may have seen Hotel Portoghesi when Julia Roberts approached her residence in Rome, The Barbieri. This hotel was also featured in Cheap Sleeps in Italy and while no longer so cheap, it is a wonderful 'off of the beaten path' hotel that is perfectly located for many of the great... More

My daughter and I stayed here in a junior suite. It was large by European standards with a large bathroom. The hotel personnel, especially the front desk are unhelpful (sometimes rude) but we rarely needed and consequently did not use them. Breakfast is better than any other *** hotel we had in Italy other than **** Hotel Londra in Venice.... More

Small, old-fashioned (not trendy) hotel just two short blocks off Piazza Navona. Easy walk from here to all the tourist sights. Rooms are furnished very traditionally. Bathroom was modern and well appointed. Elevator worked perfectly. Wi-fi access is pay as you go, not complementary. One Euro per half hour. You have to purchase the hours you want at the desk....

We have stayed at the Portoghesi on two previous visits and were happy we had the chance to spend another three nights there on our departure from Italy. Most of the reviews have pretty well summed up the situation--nice rooms that are, mostly, not huge, but well appointed. A location that permits a leisurely walk of say 8 minutes to... More

We stayed here at the beginning and end of our Italy vacation for a total of 5 nights. The rooms were clean, continental breakkfast was good, and the location was outstanding. Walking distance to many of Rome's sights, in a quaint area close to restaurants and shopping. The staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. More

I was warned that the hotel was great location wise but not splendid. When we arrived we witnessed a teenager throwing a tantrum because she didn't like the hotel. Would go back but would share a few things. Pros 1) Nice and helpful staff 2) Breakfast was pretty good for a continental spread, good coffee, and good service. 3) Location... More

We stayed here for 4 nights as the last destination of our month in Italy. The location is great, near Piazza Navone, the Pantheon and the river. We walked everywhere from here. There was no need for taxis or buses as it is very central. The rooms are quite plush, reasonable size and although the bathroom is small it is... More

What a romantic setting. The hotel is on a small quiet cobblestone street. St. Augustino is next door, a 12th century church. You can see the church's bell tower from the dinning room. Beautiful, perfect central location, we were in walking distance to everything we wanted to see. Rooms were very nice. Our double-door window opened out with a view... More

The location of this hotel is virtually perfect. A 20-30 min walk to the Vatican and the same for the Colosseum. Felt very safe and close to the Piazza Navona. The room was a bit small and simple in its decor including a small tv that looked like it was a computer screen. Shower was small and may be a... More
