Hotel Quirinale
5/5 Excellent
Great location, period hotel.
"Second time at this hotel and it didn’t disappoint. Large suite, great service and location in fantastic. This is a classic hotel with period features - the rooms are beautifully decorated. The bed was a little hard (personal taste) and the pillows wafer thin - a call to housekeeping delivered 2 large and fluffy pillows. Resturant food was great. Breakfast options were average, convenient and service very good "

5/5 Excellent
"Firstly the service I received in making contact with the hotel before arrival was excellent. Our flight arrival was midnight and as agreed our taxi was there to take us to the hotel. Very pleasant gentleman. The room was very spacious and clean. The location was perfect right in front of the station and walking distance to collect the Big Bus tour. My family and I walked from Colosseum back to hotel, which was about 20mins. Flavia provided excellent customer service with arranging the surprise for my husband in our room. I will definitely return "
