“Lovely hotel next to metro”

Beautiful hotel. Top notch service. Metro next to it for easily getting to and from airport. Walking distance to anything. 4-5 minute walk to Trevi. 10 to Pantheon. Tons of restaurants around. Pharmacy on corner. A couple mini markets within 3 or 4 minutes walk. Wine shop on corner. It's plaza ber… more

“Good hotel, not quite 4 stars, unusual layout”

I spend 2 nights before a cruise at the Sina Bernini Bristol hotel. It's located near the Trevi fountain and Spanish steps, and opposite a stop for some of the HOHO buses. One thing to note is that this hotel is older, all the rooms are very different and it's made up of a few buildings so that… more

I spend 2 nights before a cruise at the Sina Bernini Bristol hotel. It's located near the Trevi fountain and Spanish steps, and opposite a stop for some of the HOHO buses. One thing to note is that this hotel is older, all the rooms are very different and it's made up of a few buildings so that even though there's a lift, several actually, you may STILL have to navigate up/down 6-9 steps to get to your room which I didn't know beforehand and was rather annoying. After some initial misunderstandings with staff (I didn't feel welcome at first, and at one point, a doorman followed me around and made me feel like he thought I wasn't a guest, I had a nice stay but I won't return, mainly due to the physical layout of the hotel and other small things, like no one told me that I had to insert my key into a hard to find spot to turn on the lights. I did get upgraded to a suite for my birthday which was nice, and the breakfast room staff kindly added a candle to a bombolono (little donut) in honor of my birthday so that was super nice. The room was clean and fairly quiet, with a large bathroom, sitting area and comfortable bed. I will say that the prices for food and drinks in the hotel and at the surrounding restaurants were quite a bit higher than those in facilities closer to the other hotel I stayed in (Hotel Lancelot, by the Colosseum, in a more residential area) so that was a bummer. WIFI worked fairly well and the hotel did have a lot of TV channel options, though not many in English and no US channels if I recall. (SO watching American football in Italy, on a German channel with German play by play was fun!) Not all rooms have A/C that functions all the time either, so if you're always hot, be sure to ask for a room with A/C. The breakfast, which I selected as my Bonvoy Elite amenity was very good with plenty of variety to satisfy both European and American palates. I loved the MYO waffles! And I always appreciate a good mimosa as well. I did enjoy my stay and the hotel is very nice, it just wasn't a good fit for me personally. I had very high expectations and I was a little let down initially. Again, many love this property but I can also understand those who do not. If you want a nicely located hotel in a convenient, albeit a more expensive part of Rome, then this might be your place. But if you're looking to have your socks knocked off with service and luxury, you may be disappointed.

“Location Fantastic and Amazing Rooftop”

Just not a 5 star as advertised. The support staff (restaurants, bar, housekeeping, porters) were very good. However, the front desk seemed bothered by what appeared to be mostly American guests. Example, my wife asked for change from larger bills to smaller bills, and told “go have the bartend… more

Just not a 5 star as advertised. The support staff (restaurants, bar, housekeeping, porters) were very good. However, the front desk seemed bothered by what appeared to be mostly American guests. Example, my wife asked for change from larger bills to smaller bills, and told “go have the bartender do it”. Asked bartender, and he did not have change, so asked again at desk and told they probably cannot do that , and my wife responded it’s for your staff, and they suddenly could. That’s a simple request that you would expect a 5 star hotel to accommodate all day long. I also found room descriptions misleading, as an urban view is an alley/small street simply looking at another building(pretty much zero view). Finally, with mostly American guests (I understand Italian aperitif hours) surprised the best asset of the hotel (rooftop bar view, which was amazing) was closed until after sundown (really wanted an afternoon drink and to enjoy the view in the sunlight, plus it was a bit chilly after sundown in November). Room was nice, with a very nice en suite (water closet and separate shower and closet areas).
