She was late giving access which was supposed to begin at 2pm by almost 25 minutes and did not apologize. However, the hospitality staff was great! They were attentive on a daily basis. The location was nicely situated to eateries/shopping/museums/churches."

"The hotel is clean and nice. We first got the room on the 5th floor, it was small, looked old and dark, the faucet leaked, the ceiling in the hallway had cracks. We asked for another room and got one on the 4th floor - new, spacious and renovated. So looks like the experience depends on which room you get. Breakfast - simple but had everything we needed."

Condotti Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Hotel Condotti was nothing short of spectacular, easily earning a full five stars.From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were incredibly responsive, anticipated our every need, and remained flawlessly accommodating throughout our entire trip. Whether we needed a rapid local recommendation, help sorting out transit logistics, or quick room requests, they handled everything with a warm smile and ultimate professionalism.The property’s location is completely on point. Tucked away on a charming cobblestone street just steps from the Spanish Steps and the legendary luxury shopping of Via Condotti, it served as the ultimate central hub for our Roman holiday. We were able to walk to almost every major historical landmark, and having the Spagna Metro station practically at our doorstep made exploring the rest of the city effortless.Inside, the boutique property is impeccably stylish. It perfectly blends classic Italian elegance with clean, modern comforts. Our room was a beautifully curated space—bright, spotless, and a tranquil sanctuary to return to after a busy day of sightseeing. If you are looking for an upscale, stylish stay with top-tier service in Rome, look no further. We will absolutely be returning!"
