Hotel Quirinale

Hotel Quirinale

8/10 Good
"Centrally located, easy to get a taxi. Close to station and metro. Rooms a good size. Hotel was on main street so noise from road and restaurants and pubs were loud along with noise from corridor. Bathroom well appointed but tub shower combo with taps in the way are not ideal especially in slippery bath that took ages to drain and the tiled floor that was slippery when wet They need to upgrade their mattress's they had dips in them and you just sank into them and hard as concrete. We had breakfast included and only once was any of it warm, nothing worse than cold bacon and scrambled eggs. The hotel is nicely decorated as it is old, but the rooms need updating along with the need to charge electronics, only 1 usb port and that stopped working after a day. The hilight were the finches in the garden watching them cleaning up after breakfast, they obviously don't mind cold food."

"One of the best hotels I have stayed at in Europe. The hotel was clean and updated. Room was a great size. Bathroom was quite large for European standards. The AC worked great. The staff were so helpful. The location is a bit outside the main sights but that made it quieter and more relaxed. I would definitely stay here again."
