We were totally surprised when we arrived and found the hotel had just completed a major interior renovation. It was like staying in a brand new hotel with an older exterior. The staff were very gracious and helpful. The kitchen/living room was very modern, nicely furnished with contemporary style. Very nice bathroom and bedroom with unique lighting, and a balcony... more

We reserved a 3 room apartment for 3 nights because we wanted to have some extra room. The place was very large-- a bedroom; a living area with a 4 person dining table and kitchenette; and another room with a desk, sofa bed and small balcony. Both the bedroom and living area had TVs. The room overlooked Palantine Hill and... more

THE VELABRO was great for location, accommodations and staff. These are not rooms but suites, like small apartments, created out of a former palace We had a bedroom, living room-dining room combo with a kitchenette, a bathroom, 3 closets and a balcony. The balcony was off the bedroom which had a bureau, lounge chair, and a TV, and very comfortable... more

My husband and I really loved staying at this hotel for a number of reasons. Firstly, the extra space. Having an apartment was luxurious, we had a living area with kitchen, dining and lounge, then a separate bedroom, great size bathroom and a small little balcony. Secondly, the location was excellent, we walked to every tourist destination. First day we... more

The laundry service lost our laundry too. Other than than, what is not to love about the Velabro. The rooms were attractive, the... more

We stayed at this property using our Shell Vacations Club membership in partnership with RCI. It is the only property in Italy that we could stay at. The location was good - 5 min walk to the Roman Forum, 15 minute walk to Colosseum, 20 min walk to great restaurants. The property itself could really use some updating. Our studio... more

It was extremely hot during our stay in Rome (37+C) and our air conditioned room and the always helpful and very pleasant staff at the Velabro were a very welcome sight at the end of long days sightseeing. Huge room, very neat and tidy with all facilities and while carpet showed some wear, we certainly had no complaints. The balcony... more

I searched countless hotels to find the right place to stay with my family in Rome for a few weeks. My husband needed reliable internet access to keep in touch with work and we needed space that we could share with our 2 boys. I found the right place with this hotel and I can't say enough good things about... more

My family (4 adults) spent 5 nights here in March 2007, and were rapt with the accommodation. We had booked a two bedroom apartment, and expected to find a single apartment with two bedrooms. Instead, we were delighted to find two separate apartments with a common front door. Each apartment had a huge living area, a kitchenette (fridge and cook... more
