Location is everything. This place is on a quiet street about a block from the Tiber river and is almost walking distance (or quick taxi ride) to everything imaginable. The complimentary breakfast is typical European and plentiful, the wait staff and bellmen are the most helpful & friendliest. The lobby is first class with marble floors throughout. The not so good, wifi in room is non existent, had to come to the lobby to use my smartphone. The room is huge (for European hotels) but a bit dated. Very clean but something out of the mid 90s. Front desk staff during the day were kinda curt . Even so would definitely stay , enjoyed my stay here. read more

It's nice! Good breakfast! Very nice superior room. Centrally located. Reasonably priced. The hotel's currency exchange rate is a total ripoff, almost $25 service charge per $100 US The bald guy at the front desk is unfriendly and makes you feel like he is doing you a favor to help you, The bellmen and bartender are here are great. The front desk staff are cold and unfriendly. - read more

This place was awesome! We came in just starving and the bartender took great care of us, snacks ready!! The bellman was amazing too!! And a shoutout to the breakfast crew! This hotel is worth the stay!! read more

This is a wonderful hotel located on a quiet street. It's within walking distance to the Vatican, hop on bus tours, and the Pantheon. There are several decent restaurants also within easy walking distance. A police substation is just a block away. The staff were all wonderful. The service is about the best I've experienced. The place is very clean and in good shape. Obviously very well managed. There's a small bar and a short menu for room service, and that's also available at the bar. It all closes at midnight. Breakfast was decent, and that dining room is very nice. Overall, highly recommended especially for couples. Glad we selected this place, which was based on others reviews. Great value also. read more

While I liked Hotel dei Mellini, I can't say that I LOVED it. I can't quite put my finger on why, though. The hotel is very pretty, located on a small side street about a 10 minute walk from the Vatican. The room was large enough, although the design was a bit strange- they could have allocated the entryway space to make a bigger bathroom. The service was efficient and friendly (beware of hotel surcharges- I purchased a ticket for the "hop on-hop off" tour bus and was dismayed to learn late that I could have purchased it much cheaper on the street. Additionally, if the hotel calls a taxi for you, the fare starts at 6euro before you even leave the front door. They did provide some nice amenities- the breakfast buffet was adequate, the terrace area was pretty, and the gym was well stocked (although operating the high tech treadmill and elliptical was a bit tricky). Overall, a solid 3.5 stars, rounded up to a 4. read more

Hotel dei Mellini is sentimental to me as this was my first hotel stay and trip to Roma. The service was great like all the hotels I've stayed at in Roma and what made this Hotel stand out the most was the size of the bed. It was actually a queen size bed which is gigantic for an Italian Hotel Suite. The location is on the Vatican City Side of the Tiber River and is in walking distance of the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Castle St. Angelo, and Vatican City. I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel dei Mellini as the size of the room was nice and the ambiance of the hotel from the entrance, bar, lounged and garden eating area made me feel like I was in Italy. Molto buona read more

Was VERY impressed with this hotel! Upon arrival, we were told we'd been upgraded to a suite free of charge! The room was extremely spacious with two Juliet balconies & floor to ceiling windows. They even had a fruit basket & welcome note in our room when we arrived. Bathroom pretty descent size with detached shower head, vanity with seat, bidet & hair dryer. Bed was a bit firm for me but boyfriend loved it. Pillows were very comfortable, and black out curtains help keep the sunlight out in AM. TV is smart TV & wifi is free & worked great. Mini fridge included, but have to pay for anything inside of it. Plenty of clothing storage. Dresser + wardrobe provided. Safe included, as well. Staff EXTREMELY helpful & friendly. Will call you cab & it's to front door in 3 minutes flat. (I agree with other reviews that they will try to start meter at $6.... Tip: Tell them to restart meter before you drive off and they will do it) Oh, and FREE breakfast, rooftop terrace with ping pong, sun bathing area & 24hr gym. I will definitely return!! read more

Awesome Hotel! We were welcomed with a bottle of champagne chilling on ice. I loved the spaciousness of the rooms. My roommate and I were upgraded on day two due to the bathroom not working properly. The upgrade was to a Two Window room with a couch. The view was lovely, I was able to look out onto the streets of Rome, and being from America, it was a big change and quite entertaining! The breakfast each morning was tasty and a Italian fest! The bar was okay, no happy hour and very tiny! I was able to get a glass of white house wine, chips and nuts for $6.80 Not bad. I enjoyed my stay and the staff was ultra friendly. Only four stars, because the bathroom needed a lesson that we never got. Also the way that the key system worked is backwards. No key no lights. read more

3.75 I promise the star rating will make sense once you've read the review. Bear with me. So, I had to flee Florence. My AirBnB was a scouting location for Hostel, This Time It's Saw-tastic. I couldn't in any way with what was going on there so I stayed up all night with a really good friend and looked for trains out of town (I would pay anything) back to Rome. After finding one, I checked with my rock star Roman AirBnB host to see if his flat was still available. Of course it wasn't. I knew I should have squatted and refused to leave. That left me with the task of finding a last minute hotel room... in Rome... in mid-fall (which was more of a season than I imagined). I braced myself for a brutal bill... and then I remembered the commercial for one of those hotel sites. Having nothing to lose, I plugged in a price, desired area and timeline and... what was this? A pretty pretty princess hotel for a price that was reasonable (very much so in light of the circumstance). Not wanting to think too much about it, I booked it, rocked back and forth until sunlight shone upon Firenze, walked the streets like a Walking Dead extra, got my bags, and hopped on a train back to Rome (unwashed, haggard and first-world traumatized). I arrived back in Rome and opted for a taxi out of the train station. I had neither the time nor the energy to deal with Uber (even if it might save me some bucks). I arrived at the hotel and... what was this? It was so pretty! First off, I am a Prati kind of guy: high-end, sophisticated, moneymoneymoney.... this is the Rome I can get used to. Don't get me wrong, I dig the cool of Trastevere and the honest grit of Pigneto... but I'm old and tired. I'm at the point of my life where I want a doorman, plush things and high thread-count sheets. So, looking at the cobblestone street and impressive doorway, I knew that Hotel dei Mellini and I would get along fabulously. REMEMBER how I came to the hotel: scraggly, defeated and run out of town. I'd looked better. I'd smelled better. But, I was here. The front desk clerk was not happy I was here. I get it. I looked more than a mess. But I had a reservation, money and that should have been enough. The check-in process was lengthy and not all that warm but it finally concluded. A porter arrived to help me with my bags. I got to my room and... this was not what I saw on the internet. This was small, drab, had no view, and reminded me of a prison cell. Dejected, I thought, 'Well, at least I am out of that Florentine death trap.' At that point, it dawned on me to check the hotel's web site. Surely I didn't book The W, only to stay in a Super 8. Aha! I knew it! That [redacted] booked me in the wrong [redacted] room. I had come way too far and through too much NOT to get the superior room I'd booked. I called down to the front desk and spoke with another clerk (a woman). I strained to put on my most kind and patient voice. I explained that there must have been a mistake. I booked a Superior Room and had been given a janitor's closet. The clerk placed me on hold, came back on the phone and let me know that a porter would be by to show me to my correct room. I made a note to self to find the first clerk and hurt him. I was going to hurt him badly. The porter came by and told me 'YOU'LL LIKE THIS ROOM BETTER.' Again, first clerk? Watch your back. For life. This room WAS much better. a Large bed with a good thread count sheet situation. Walk-in closets. Bureau. Desk. High ceilings. Good light. Complimentary breakfast every morning (with service). Over-stuffed chair. Large bathroom with everything I needed. A plush robe for lounging! Slippers, too! Yes. This will do. I ran to the shower to wash the stink of my misadventure off me. I emerged from my steam to put on my robe and slippers and relax. Oh, Rome. It was good to be back. read more

Girls Trip 2019! One night at this hotel was included in my cruise package. The hotel was ok not great! I think it may be the fact Americans just except too much... I found the front desk woman to be very rude and annoying. She snapped at 3 if us!! I was 1 of 17 guest --not sure why the travel agent booked this place.... there is only one bellman for roughly 30 pieces of luggage. He was very nice but clearly overloaded. Due to the small roads the bus could not the hotel. I was forced to carry luggage (book-bag, large & medium suit case & yes, I overpack ) to the hotel. Roughly it was 2/3 blocks however the sidewalks are cobblestones are uneven!!!!!! The facility was clean but everything as small. The woman at the front desk did not apologize but she offered us an upgrade to a suit. Yay us except the suit consists of one king bed... so I was forced to sleep on the pull out (my sister was my roommate & it was her birthday ) oh the sofa bed was a hot mess, their was little to none no padding! My back is still crying!! It was like sleeping on iron bars... breakfast was decent. It was not a horrible experience but I would never stay at that hotel again. This was my first time in Rome Italy! When asked if I would return... I think yes, but not at this hotel. read more

If you are looking for a place to avoid the confusion in the center of Rome, this hotel near Piazza Cavour is your spot. It is conveniently located within walking distance to the Vatican, Castel Sant'Angelo, and even right across the river from Piazza Navona. It is also in the area of Prati, where you can find more locals than tourists if you are looking for that. Overall, the hotel was clean and had what you needed. Disclaimer: beds are a bit stiff and there are no irons/ironing boards allowed in the building, so plan accordingly. They do have a blow dryer for the ladies that will get the job done, but don't plug in any American hair curlers as it will ruin your machines. Breakfast is included in the price of your stay and it is worth trying to get too as it is quite a nice spread for what you are given. I will be sure to be back should I be in Rome. A presto! read more

#Rome #Italy This hotel's location was marvelous. Spacious room with clean bathroom. A bit outdated lobby but it was okay.

First of all we stayed 8 nights at over $200. per night. We had to reserve a room for Monday night since we were arriving at 9:00 am Tuesday and they couldn't give us an early checkin. I can accept that. When we got to the hotel we had asked for an upper floor room. They put us on the fifth floor out of six. Again acceptable. We took a quick nap and went out. When we got back that afternoon we found a man finishing shampooing our carpet. Needless to say the carpet was soaked. We went to the desk and reported the issue. They couldn't believe it. They apologized and offered to move us. We didn't want to move all our clothes so they told us they would get the problem taken care of. We left for dinner and came back to the carpet covered with towels. After a while they changed out the towels with dry ones. That is how we spent the night. The next morning we reported the issue to the new front desk person who acted like he didn't care. We were told that they would take care of it. After a day out sightseeing we came back to more towels. Again toweled wet carpet all night. To make things worse a herd of elephants moved in above us so sleep became an issue. They did send us a bottle of wine to make up for the wet carpet which we accepted. The breakfast was good but had the same thing every morning. The lounge staff were their real example of the hospitality. Every afternoon when we got back we would stop for a drink and be greeter by the friendly bar hostess. With the drinks they would serve us appetizers which were fantastic. All in all with the exception of the wet carpet and elephants above us the entire stay was very comfortable and relaxing. We don't have any plans for returning to Rome but would recommend the hotel to friends. read more

My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon here in October of 2016. The staff was very professional. I think everyone that works at the hotel speaks English fluently, which was nice. The hotel is close to the Vatican, which is what I liked most about this hotel. I think the cab drivers charged us about 8 Euros to go from this hotel to the Vatican. When you walk out the hotel, make a left onto the sidewalk. The first restaurant that you come to is excellent. (I can't remember the name of the place but it is about 100 feet from the hotel.) read more

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The staff are very friendly. I got a bladder infection and they called their house doctor at 3:30am and helped us explain my symptoms to the doctor. The doctor visited me and was super polite! The staff helped us find a pharmacy that was open so we can get antibiotics at 4:30am!!!! I am so grateful! read more

I loved the Hotel dei Mellini and had a wonderful stay there. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back again.

This is a great place. The service is 110%. Breakfast is super. Wi-Fi coverage was great, speed was good. The safe is nice and big, it fits a laptop. Lots of good restaurants nearby. It is about a 40 minute walk to the Vatican or Coliseum. Even the hotel bar was good, a big glass of wine was 8€. read more
