HOTEL LORD BYRON Luxe

Our rooms weren't ready well past check-in time. The TV in my room didn't work. The staff gave incorrect information about a shop I wanted to visit. The location is remote. That said, the rooms were well appointed and clean, the common areas beautiful and the breakfast and bar very nice.

I expected ArtDeco elegance from the on line images but I wasn't prepared for the excellence of the service. The staff are super attentive but unobtrusive and if the breakfasts are representative of the general restaurant standards then we missed out on an excellent dinner as we always ate in the city. The breakfast were so varied and everything was prepared with the best ingredients. I didn't know that prunes would be so tasty poached in spices. The hotel is near the Park Borghese which is a joy to wander around and avoid the heat. But it is also in the diplomatic area and directly opposite the residence of the Belgian ambassador with its own armed Italian soldiers. How cool is it to greet Alpine troops in the morning' It's also a short stroll to the Museum of Modern Art and take the advice of staff on reception - go on Saturday nights as it's free. I won't forget my stay here in a hurry.

3 night stay with family in 2 suites. Rooms well equipped with and Art Deco style about them. Hotel is quite compact in size. Very laid back classy style with very helpful staff. Any issues we had were addressed well and with good grace. Air conditioning was a little weak but we were assured this has been resolved. Bar very small but welcoming and helpful barman, Breakfast has a good selection for most tastes. Location is away from City Centre but 20 min walk to Spanish steps through Villa Borghese is pretty nice! Very quiet area with Belgian Embassy across the road. Would definitely stay again but if you want buzzy nightlife it may not be for you

Excellent three night stay - can recommend the cocktail bar. Top Negroni. Very good breakfast all three days - attentive service from all staff but not over the top. Would definitely return for a third visit next year.

Very good hotel in quiet location. A bit far from city centre but we knew that. Villa Borghese is very close and they have bikes to use (for free I think) if you want to cycle in the park. Room was quite big with very comfortable bed. We slept very good there. A/C in the room and it is very quiet and not makes you freeze so can get comfortable temperature. No tee/coffee facilities though. They have some outdoor space too like a small garden on the ground flour rooms. People use it for smoking though and smoke can get into your room as for example out bathroom window didn't shut all the way. That's the only bad point I can think of. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. We didn't try other meals. WiFi signal could better though as in the evening speed gets very slow. Hotel staff was excellent. Everyone speaks english and very friendly. Would stay again when back in Rome as it's a good base for exploring the city.
