The location was great, near Argentina where you can catch a bus or electric train. We were able to walk to almost all of the central sights and a great location for restaurants near Campo di Fiori. 4 of us stayed one night after a cruise. we had a single room which was very nice and a triple room on... more

We're don't choose hotels for a luxury, boutique experience and until this trip have selected them mainly based on price, cleanliness and location above all else. So when we read some negative reviews about Hotel Smeraldo, we decided it would be fine. It's in a great location (the Pantheon neighborhood of Rome), a reasonable price considering, and recently has been... more

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights as part of a 2 week trip for our anniversary. I have been to Italy several times and I always like to stay near the Campo dei Fiori, but I wanted to try a new hotel since my last one left a lot to be desired. For the most part, I found... more

This hotel is your basic hotel recommended by Rick Steves. Location was excellent. Rooms were clean, but shower was small. This is pretty much the norm in Europe though and I am pleasantly surprised whenever I do get a bigger shower. Service was so so, depending on who was at the reception desk at the time. Breakfast was decent. If... more

Good location, but walls are paper thin, and the water pipes regularly and loudly proclaimed someone above had either flushed the toilet or was taking a shower. Fairly helpful staff. more

Although the location of Hotel Smeraldo IS great, we dubbed this hotel "Hotel Smells Awful." The staff was very indifferent, our room was VERY small and smelled bad (they don't have non-smoking rooms). The plus was because we really did not want to be in our room at all, we spent much more time seeing the sights than we might... more

While the hotel is in a great location and probably a good value considering Rome is expensive, I would probably not stay there again. The rooms were clean but the shower situation was a problem. Our first 2 nights we were in a room with a shower so tiny that even a petite person such as myself could barely fit.... more

We just got back from a week at this hotel. The location couldn’t be beat for the price, near the Campo di Fiori and a ton of great restaurants. We could walk everywhere: Pantheon/Piazza Navona (5 min), Trevi Fountain (10-15 min), St. Peters (20 min), the Coliseum/Forum (20 min), even the Borghese Gallery (40 min). The hotel itself is missing... more

My girlfriend and I spent 3 nights at this hotel earlier this month. The hotel is clean and the rooms are adequate although the bathrooms are a little on the small side. Where they let themselves down is on the service. It's not that they are especially rude but the staff certainly seem to be indifferent about their guests. On... more
