My husband and I stayed at this hotel at the end of our Italian honeymoon. It was the hotel I was most looking forward to as it is a 5 star hotel in a perfect location. The hotel overall was amazing. The food was exceptional, the view was of the piazza barberini and was within easy walking distance to the... More

We stayed only one night prior to our cruise departure, but were delighted with the quality and value of the hotel, which is situated in the heart of Rome, within walking distance of the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and US Embassy. The rooms are large, clean and sunny. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and excellent. I particularly commend the General... More

We have just returned from 4 nights in Rome staying at the Bernini Bristol courtesy of Citalia. The package included free room upgrade, welcome drink, buffet breakfast, 15% off the L'Olimpo Restaurant and a free museum visit, for a not unreasonable sum. Sounds too good to be true? No it wasn't. The service was excellent, the staff all being very... More

We traveled throughout Italy and stayed in the most fabulous hotels and then arrived at the Bernini. What a mistake. No help with our bags to start with. The folks at the reception desk were rude. There was construction in the Lobby. And it was terribly HOT! We arrived in our small dark HOT outdated room and almost cried. We... More

Every place you look you see need for maintenance. There is mold in bathrooms. Furniture in need of repair. Paint that is chipped. It just doesn't feel like a four star hotel. I had a problem with my AMEX Platinum card and the front desk barely tried to assist. Problem was not resolved by them. Our room was supposedly not... More

Right in the centre of Rome 5 minutes from the Spanish steps etc. Excellent rooms, roof top restaurant with the view of the city a bonus, you can see the most of the city including the Vatican from the roof, wonderful when lit up at night. Very traditional hotel, well worth a visit for pleasure next time
