Great location in Monti, amazing for getting anywhere in the city. Breakfast was incredible! Worth every penny. Downside is the room was so hot, aircon not working until the summer so we were so hot at night. Other than that, great.

Great location Walking distance to all tourist points Great breakfast and comfy beds We were lucky to have room with a balcony which was amazing Some reception staff were very friendly and welcoming although others can be a bit “unbothered” and “unwelcoming” when asking questions The staff at breakfast were fantastic tho, smiling, friendly and could not do enough I would definitely stay here again

The hotel is in a great location. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast is very good great selection for everyone in my opinion. For me and my granddaughter we found the beds hard. AC wasn't the greatest but when we went it was extremely hot so I am sure everyone AC was working overtime. Have stayed here once before and got the same great service that is why I came back. Right behind the hotel is residential and some great local restaurants and bars.

Despite being nominated 4 stars, this property does not feel like that, a lot of noise coming through the windows and the door, the doors of the rooms sound a lot and it is like sleeping in the lobby because of so much noise, the toilets in the Bathrooms are impossible to sit in because of the small space, located in front of the sink, horrible. and no bathrobe, nor flip flops for travelers

The hotel is very close to the colosseum and lots of little shops and restaurants. Reception staff very helpful and friendly. We had a room for 3 people. The picture is not shown when booking on Expedia. Unfortunately, the room did not meet the expectation of what we paid. It was the most expensive hotel in our trip to Venice, Florence and Rome but it was the worst. It was clean but very basic. Housekeeping didn’t clean our room one day and didn’t come till late the next. When we asked for towels then it took over an hour to get it. The room did have working air con which was great. The restaurant food was great too. Huge variety.

Dear Fereen,thanks a lot for choosing to stay at Grand Hotel Palatino and for sharing your impression with us. We are glad to read that you appreciated many things like the location, reception staff and the food in our restaurant, as well as the air conditioning which is very useful in this very hot period.On the other hand we are sorry to learn that your stay was not in line with our standard of quality, regarding the room not cleaned on the 17th, the “do not disturb” tag was hanging on the door handle and for this reason we did not clean the room, sorry that you had to wait for clean towels. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back at Grand Hotel Palatinou. Omar Djebali Reception Shift Leader

The hotel was neat and clean and with easy access to the Colosseum. Breakfast was very good. The trouble was the front desk staff were consistently annoyed with guests and said NO to merely every question asked. They laughed when I asked about laundry facilities, said they couldn't make change for my 20 dollar euro bill, absolutely ignored guests waiting to be helped until i said "may i ask a question".. and just seemed annoyed in general. I watched an elderly guest get told "to go outside and just wait on curb for taxi" and that they couldnt call one at the time.. it was the worst reception desk I have encountered in years.

Kind and welcoming staff but the standard of the room was not what was expected. The room was nothing but average, run down and not at the level one would expect considering it is as “4 star” - very disappointed to use my collected stamps for this night with Hotels.com. Such a shame

Disappointing.
The glorious days of this hotel are far. Very old and dated. A piece of the parquet was coming off in my bedroom, bathtub didn't drain properly, carpet in the corridor was decrepitated. Breakfast room wasn't any better and the food was beige (canned pineapple, cannot we get fresh one?) Not sure how this hotel can still qualify as 4 stars. But good job on the photoshopping for the website.
