9.4/10 Exceptional! (16 reviews)

Location is great, walking distance to the main attractions such as the Spanish Steps, Fontana de Trevi, Pantheon, Campo di Fiori, and even Trastevere neighborhood. Our room was very spacious and breakfast was great! We ordered different types of croissants, cold cuts, cheese slices, cappuccino, and orange juice for breakfast and they serve it as room service from 8-10:30am. We left early for day trips for three days so we had to get breakfast on our own those days. There's no one at the front desk after 7pm but we didn't need anything after that so we were fine. We used codes to get in and out of the building property and the neighborhood is very safe since it's in Via del Corso. We had housekeeping everyday and they were great! Property is clean and close to everything. We used Whatsup app to communicate with the front desk when we needed help while we were out and about in the city and they were very helpful and responsive.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (867 reviews)

We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Agrippina for a week before Easter. The hotel is beautiful, well located for accessing Rome’s key districts and has views of St Peter’s Basilica which is pretty special. A special mention for Emma and Eleanora in the concierge team who were super helpful and wonderful with our two boys. We had a brilliant stay and will be back again, thank you!

The line-ups to get in are ridiculous. But the new sculpture in the square, Angels Unawares, is exceptionally moving!!! Definitely glad we saw that!!!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Thousands of chairs set up in the Piazza really take away from the experience. Also viewing of interior has been severely limited since I was there last.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Recommend going with guide to many of the more significant sights like Forum, Colosseum and Vatican. They are a wealth of information and provide a much better understanding and context to what you are looking at.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Make sure to cover your shoulders and knees. However, we noticed that the guards were less strict when we visited in the hot summer. They seem to request some people to cover up more, and let others go buy who barely met the dress code. Check it out if you go to the Vatican and are interested in seeing more.

okay BIG TIP.....if you want to skip the crazy long lines and not pay for the Skip the line tickets....well on Sunday every church is open for mass and it is free. Go half an hour before mass starts and go through security check and enjoy the free admission. There is no pictures taking during mass but you are welcome to visit the church after mass. You don't have to be a card carrying catholic to attend but with all religious institutions just be respectful. Woman are not allowed into the church at anytime with bare shoulders or short shorts. A piece of cloth (shawl) can be used to cover up.

4/5 - Good
