We chose this hotel because of its proximity to our son's apartment in Rome. We were thrilled to find ourselves so close to many major attractions, a hub for public transportation, shopping and great restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. The rooms were small, but clean. The staff helped us in every way, from finding a room for us... More

My husband and I stayed in the hotel for 5 nights during our vacation to Rome in the beginning of October. Location is amazing,,, walking distance to many of the major points of interest, such as Piazza Nevona, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Campo di Fiori, Piazza Venezia and Trastevere.

My wife had been here before and wanted to share Rome with me. She was a little embarrassed to take me to a "3 star" hotel that seemed cheap by comparison to other options.

Great place, wonderful staff, great location and they have two roof top patio areas that you can sit and have some wine. Only issue was that the air conditioning was not the most efficient. Good restaurant across the street and several within a short walk, ask the desk and they will assist. More

We spent 6 nights this year and it was a dream vacation for us. The location was ideal- very close to Campo de Fiori (about a block) and a couple of blocks south of Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. About a 5min walk to the Capitoline Hill. Nice restaurant across the street and a Forno for dinner on our terrace.... More

Our stay at the Smeraldo was fantastic. Walter at the desk was helpful with any questions and a great conversationalist. Our room was very comfortable, air conditioned and there is an elevator which was great. The hotel is located within walking distance of many of the major points of interest, such as Campo di Fiori, Piazza Nevona, Pantheon and Trevi... More
