We stayed three nights and would definitely go back. The rooms where very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The location is central to many attractions. The staff was very friendly, especially Khaled. Expect to learn your room number in Italian. They helped with reservations to attractions and had great recommendations for restaurants that were close by. Can't wait to... More

We spent two nights here and found it to be a clean, convenient hotel with easy walking access to many of the main tourist sites in Rome. We had four rooms, all of which were rather small but had large comfy beds. The bathrooms were compact but included deep tubs, which were nice. Street noise from below could get distracting... More

I returned a few days ago from a 3 night stay at this hotel. The staff here is wonderful and helped us so much. The breakfast that is included was quite good, and I had the best cappuccino ever each morning, which was a great way to start each day. The rooms are small (which is typical in a European... More

Great central location and within walking distance to all main attractions. This hotel is part of a large building, originally a palace belonging to the Borghese family. It occupies a section of the second floor. It is a small hotel. The rooms are an adequate size and the beds are comfortable. The staff are extremely friendly and obliging. The breakfast... More

I could not rate the service at HFB any higher. The staff were always friendly, willing to help and they spoke fantastic English. For the staff and location alone, just a short stroll to the Via del Corso, I would stay there again. The only downfalls were that the bed was too firm for my liking and the bathroom a... More

We spent 5 nights in late September at this wonderful albergo. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable (especially Khaled and Andrea). The restaurants they recommended were some of our favorites. We spent 2 weeks all over Italy. The hotel is centrally located and easily walkable to all the attractions. The buffet breakfast was scrumptious. We would definitely stay here... More
