Everything was great! The room was very pretty. They offer a simple breakfast each more with easy grab and go options. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Vatican and 15 minutes to the Metro. Located in a lovel neighbourhood with great restaurants.

Room was so dusty it set off my dust allergies and I woke with puffy eyes. Shower didn’t drain properly, didn’t look like they’d actually cleaned the toilet and the flusher fell out of the wall and the shower tap was almost falling off. No toilet paper when we got into the room, my partner went to find someone to get some and we couldn’t find anyone but thankfully he found some on a random table lol? Dirty coffee cups, nespresso machine with no pods. Extra pillows and blanket had no covers. The throw pillow had mystery stains. Room looked grand but as soon as you looked closer everything was poorly done and falling apart. Pretty far from central Rome and too expensive for how poorly maintained it is. Staff were friendly enough at least.

The property was very ornate with beautiful art and period italian charm. Staff were pleasant and acommodating . Breakfast self-serve on terrace was very nice. Not much to do in the hotel , but we were out most of the time . The outside of the property had limited space and outlook. The showers took a while to heat up and a bit .Overall good quality and value for money.

Despite our late arrival from Interlaken, Switzerland, Marius, the receptionist, facilitated a seamless check-in process by providing clear instructions on self-check-in procedures. The hotel's facilities were well-maintained, offering fresh white towels daily and a satisfying breakfast with numerous options. The bus stop was conveniently located just a 3-4 minute walk away. Throughout our 3-day stay, Marius demonstrated exceptional dedication to his duties, attending to our needs despite the absence of another staff member due to illness. Thank you, Marius!

We had an excellent experience during our stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The check-in process was smooth, and we immediately felt at home. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The housekeeping team did an amazing job keeping everything fresh and tidy throughout. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the jacuzzi. After a long day of exploring, it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind and it really made our trip feel extra special. The hotel overall was family-friendly, well-maintained, and offered everything we needed for a stress-free vacation. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the hospitality we received throughout our stay. We highly recommend [Hotel Name] for families looking for comfort and relaxation — and we’ll definitely be back! Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. We truly appreciated the hospitality and the little touches that made us feel valued as guests. My family and I would highly recommend Hotel Contessa Arrivabene Antica Dimora to anyone looking for a wonderful and memorable stay, and we will definitely be coming back!

Breakfast was continental and very neatly displayed. The staff Mario spoke little English but easy to understand what he was conveying. He made the stay perfect. We were dog tired. He told us things but of course we had terrible jet lag. This does not help your mind either. Mario probably thought we were dumb Americans because we didn't remember what he told us the first time. I love the way the place is 300% secured. You will get inside the gate, entrance to the hotel and then your room with the attachments the hotel sends you electronically. ENSURE YOU CELL PHONE CAN GET EUROPE WIFI. My phone plan was T-Mobile and it didn't work. My husband's phone company was SPECTRUM. They worked!! DON'T FORGET TO GET AN INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL ADAPTER. I got one from TEMU for very cheap and it works. If not Mario will have the knowledge for you to get a SIM card for internet usage while in Europe. You can walk to see the Vatican and places. Best to purchase individual tickets vs group tickets. As an individual you can go as you please. We bought off and on bus tickets. It's easy. Ensure you have translation app too! Good luck. Geneva

The staff was friendly, howver, we had no water due to a busted pipe just outside the gate. We were offered anything to compensate. We couldnet even get water to flush the toilet. No shower at night, no wzy to brush our teeth or wash our hands and face, no way to flush the toilet, no shower in the morning, this lasted almost 24 hours. They wouldnt accept any responsibility or refund anything. We are going through e pedia for a refund now. No breakfast 2 out of 3 days a d the last day was some mezt abd cheese laid out on a board fruit was inedible, package biscuits were hard. Room was not as advertised in the pictures. It was a plain room that we dudnt even see in the pics. The AC could not keep the room cool bevause when we would leave for the day the electricity would stop and the AC could never dissipate the heat built up from the day. We requested a fan and got zero response. No one manned the desk for the energency of zero water and no one answered the emergency number or tesponded to text and emails.

Nice room shocking service

We arrived to be greeted by a pleasant young man, very good English speaking. Unfortunately on entering our room (lovely decor) we realised there were no towels. This was slightly annoying as we were hot and really needed a refreshing shower. We asked for towels only to be told they hadn’t arrived from the cleaner, ended up using bedding to dry off. We then realised although we had a coffee machine there were no pods, we asked for some to be added to the room on exit to go out. These were added whilst out. Next morning no pods again, or cups. We went up for the so called breakfast to be greeted by a guy whom I thought was a guest, no English asking if we wanted coffee, job done. Then he sat down got on his phone and proceeded to chain smoke. Breakfast choices apart from the coffee is shocking, mould, stale, etc. very poor. We went out for the day and returned for said smoking angry man demanding payment for room, I found this very unusual to pay half way through a stay which lead to a google translate heated conversation. Anyway we paid. Then entered room to see no coffee again. Also they don’t supply any water. I know these are only small things but the hotel would be awesome if they just paid attention to these small things.

Is not recommended, unless you want to be gaslit

We had a bad experience with this hotel and do not recommend to book here because of it. Some key information: Our hotel room was not part of the main building, and the hotel room entrance was accessible behind a locked gate. It was not necessary to go past the lobby to enter the room. The safe in the room was already locked when we arrived, and we were not able to open it during our stay. We left the hotel room in the morning and did not return until the evening. When we returned to the hotel, we discovered that the door was open. Luckily, nothing was stolen. We do not know how long the door had been open, but we suscpect it was not closed properly by the housekeeping service during the day. We do not know if anyone else had been in our room during this time. Had the gate to the hotel been left open, anyone could've entered our room and taken our belongings. At this point, our trust in the hotel security was gone and we decided to find another hotel. We talked to the hotel reception about this the next morning and were met with hostility. They resorted to victim blaming and gaslighting. The employee at the reception even accused us of lying and said that the door had, in fact, not been open when we returned. And if it was left open, it was not a problem because nothing was stolen. To their surprise, this did not cheer us up. We promptly checked out of the hotel and found another hotel where the safe was usable and the employees actually had customer service.

Väldigt lugnt och tyst område, med bra kvartersrestaurang och matbutik i närheten. Både barnen och de vuxna gillade frukosten, och det var underbart att sitta på takterrassen och äta frukost och titta på papegojorna som flög omkring bland träden.

Dejligt hotel. Dog kunne morgenmaden være lidt bedre. Var nærmest kun et kagebord. Personale fantastisk. Hotellet ligger på en villa vej et godt stykke væk fra centrum, men tæt ved Vatikanet. Bus tæt på. Metro ca 15 min gang. Supermarked 10 min gang. Hotellet ligger i et meget roligt kvarter. Lidt kuperet - det ligger højt oppe.
