As we travel quite frequently to Rome, we are also frequently disappointed by its hotels: la Minerve is a most notable exception. It is indeed immune from the two main problems of most other Roman hotes: its furniture is tasteful rather than inspired by a tourist's idea of imperial Rome. And the location is superb, not only very close to... More

I have been to this hotel many times since 1998 and it never disappoints. From the lovely smiling welcome of the very smart doorman (who has been there ever since I started staying here and is a Lenny Henry look-alike) to the traditional Italian feel of the reception, lobby and rooms. The position is excellent, a few paces to The... More

At the heart of Rome this hotel sits next to the beautiful church De la Minerva. The church, the hotel and the Pantheon all sit as neighbors around a beautiful little plaza with a fountain in the center. I remember sitting at this fountain watching the people go by as the sun warmed my skin. A moment I will never... More

Dont stay in this hotel if you are looking for luxury. All traces of what was once a palace have been eradicted. Shabby reception, dark dungeon like breakfast room (at 35 euros per head which is essentially a continental breakfast with scrambled egg). I was extremely disappointed to say the least. We paid 600 euros per night for a suite.... More

Having stayed in Rome close to the Spanish Steps before we decided to change to the Piazza de la Rotunda this time and what a difference at the Hotel de la Minerve! A five star Italian hotel with friendly service! It was my 60th birthday treat and I was made to feel very special. My children had arranged a bouquet... More

I normally scoff when I read hotel reviews complaining about noise -- I stayed in a hotel next to a busy police station once and it didn't bother me-- but this place really was pretty noisy. With the windows closed, the street noise was minimal, but the room was quite small (as you'd expect in any major city) and so... More

Stayed here for a three night break recently. We have been here before and were happy to return. The location of this hotel is idyllic, a short distance from the Pantheon, all the historic sights are easily accessible. Staff friendly and attentive and good breakfast selection. Only slight downside was the room, which looked to be in need of a... More

We stayed for 3 nights in February as a part of week long holiday. For the first part of our Roman holiday we booked Luxury Suites Rome in Via Mario dei Fiori and that was indeed excellent. After we explored that part of the town, we wanted to move closer to Vatican, as that was to be the main object... More
