We just returned from a wonderful Italian vacation; we spent four days in Rome at the Isa and cannot recommend it highly enough. The location was perfect - quiet enough (neighborhood reminded me of the Left Bank of Paris) in a beautiful residential area, yet close to the Vatican and walking distance across the Tiber to the main Roman attractions.... more

The Hotel Isa on Via Cicerone 39 is a delightful small hotel with a very helpful and courteous staff. It is a short 15 minute walk to the vatican, and just a little farther the other way to The Spanish Steps and Trivoli Fountain. We stayed October 10 and 11, 2009. We found it delightful. Breakfast and dinner on the... more

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights and it was absolutely great. The hotel is in a nice location close to the Vatican area. The staff are polite and helpful and the hotel is clean and quite nice. I had a single room and it was reasonable in size, but a bit small maybe. The room was very... more

My wife and I wanted to stay in a hotel that was within walking distance to the Vatican. The Hotel Isa was a good choice. We were able to Email them that we needed to be picked up at the airport upon our arrival - no problem. We got the corner room on the 5th floor (Room 504). What a... more

Hotel In walking distance to Vatican, and St. Angelo castle and Villa Borghese. Internet worked in lobby but not in our room on 3rd floor. More expensive than we wished so we... more

The Hotel decor is very classy, beautifully done. We stayed on the 5th floor so i can't comment on this famous second floor!. The room itself was big compared to a typical Rome room. Bathroom was quite large and we had two balconies. The room was kept very clean and the TV satetlite if watched was good. The staff were... more

Hotel Isa is a three star hotel with delusions of being a four star. The Lobby is very attractive and modern and rooms on the second floor have been renovated. Problem is that they either ran out of money or are slow in doing rest of hotel. Rest of rooms look like early 60's Red Roof Inn. We booked six... more

My Fiance and I just came from Greece and Hotel Isa was a great value with a pretty good location (with a nice, cheap, italian restaurant around the corner). Just get ready to walk a lot. Amazing service, good size rooms (compared to the rest of europe), friendly staff also no problems with english. HOWEVER... We stayed there 4 nights... more

We had high expectations given the 4 stars on hotels.com and the price. But we were a bit disappointed. The lobby is very nice; the rooms are small and decent. Not too much to write about the rooms besides just small! One huge positive is the breakfast and rooftop terrace. The food is very good and the views of St.... more
