I booked this hotel through BA as a surprise for my partner's birthday and wasn't disappointed. Fine location within walking distance of the River Tiber and Vatican and very quiet. Superior room was very comfortable and clean ; breakfast somewhat better than the normal continental style. The staff were excellent - nothing was too much trouble! They recommended a very... More

We recently stayed at this hotel for our honeymoon and were more than happy with the experience. The staff were very welcoming on arrival and helpful throughout our stay. A couple of nice touches; we recieved a bottle of prosecco on arrival but also another the day of my wifes birthday. The room we stayed in (a superior double) was... More

LOCATION: The Dei Mellini is a nice hotel in a good location. Some have reviewed that it's location is not so great. I don't actually know where they have got this from. I walked everywhere from the hotel only using the metro once when I went to Termini on my way back to the airport. The Vatican is about a... More

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel while part of a QueensLander Tours small group tour to Italy. Granted, this hotel is a little out from the city centre, but not too far, just on the other side of the river. Maybe a 20 minute walk to the Spanish Steps, as I recall. It's also fairly close to Castel Sant'Angelo.... More

My friend and I have recently returned from a four night stay at the Dei Mellini. Following the advice of another reviewer, we caught the Airport Shuttle bus to Piazza Cavour for 8 euros each and then walked to the hotel in about 4 minutes! The staff were very welcoming, the room was spacious and beautifully presented and nothing was... More

We booked this hotel after having read the reviews. It was quite a way from the airport, just over Euro 50. Our room was ready and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We were 10 minutes walk from the Vatican but much further from the other sites, although as the weather was nice we did walk all the way... More

From the airport it's only 8 euros by the SIT Bus Shuttle to Piazza Cavour, but you'll soon realise that people here are not as orderly when queueing as you may be used to so stand your ground or you will be left at the airport for a long time. From Piazza Cavour it's then just a short 3 -... More

Contrary to some reports I had read, the staff at dei Mellini could not have been more helpful. On the evening of day one I managed to crack a tooth (don't ask!). In the morning I asked at reception if they knew a good local dentist. By the time we had finished breakfast they had located the nearest surgery and... More

If you like to walk, seeing the sights from this clean, courteous, comfortable 4 star is a great choice. Located between the Vatican and the Spanish Steps, all of the important sights and monuments are easily reached on foot. For those unfamiliar with Rome, an excellent small-group walking tour can be arranged on-line and meets informally at the Campo dei... More
