Hotel Principessa Isabella

Stayed here 4 nights from April 13th to 17 2025. Hotel is in good neighborhood. Staff was efficient and helpful. Cleaning was very good. Requested two taxi pick ups and they were right on time. Rooms are small...but quaint. Very Roman. We had sixth floor rooms with cute little balconies. TV is small Overall I liked the place. Pillows could be a bit fluffier.

Amazing location 15 minutes walk from Fontana .
same distance from Spanish steps
Cleanliness, courtesy, service, nice atmosphere, good street lighting.

Outstanding location central to many get sights! Helpful and professional staff. Beautiful lobby and rooms! Breakfast room was lovely with many selections. Walkable to wonderful restaurants in a pretty neighborhood. Highly recommend!

On two previous trips to Rome - more than 10 years ago - I/we had stayed at a 4* hotel southwest of Termini. My recollection of changes in that part of the city between first and second stays was reinforced by recent user reviews (NOT of that particular hotel, but of the neighbourhood) so I went looking for an alternative "nice place to stay". I must say that the "Principessa Isabella" performed that role very well! The hotel is a modest walk (20-40 minutes) from the main Roman sites (and close to at least one bus route to the Termini area) - it is also a very affordable taxi ride to such sites. The area around the hotel felt very safe and included various government offices and international banks. I loved the room (101): a nice bathroom and a decent amount of space. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well. The quotes from "La Divina Commedia" on the ceilings (I asked and was told that this decorative element was not unique to room 101) are a lovely touch! Breakfast was perfectly fine, with, perhaps, a tendency towards sweet items. I must say that I was a little disappointed - my only disappointment overall - that coffee at breakfast was from a machine even though there was a "proper" espresso machine in the adjoining "bar area". Reception staff were friendly and helpful - and I even managed to introduce the evening staff to the traditional aperitivo of my adopted home, the "pirlo". I really do hope to return in the next year or so as there is so much still to see in Rome - and the "Principessa Isabella" is a fine base for such exploration!

Comfortable hotel near Via Veneto and Villa Borghese, quiet neighbourhood. rooms are comfortable and have a good size, decor a bit on the tacky side with lots of gold and cheap paintings. breakfast ok, staff friendly.

Great location, wonderful air conditioning in the foyer. Rooms were cool, beds comfortable with tea and coffee facilities. Very quiet hotel. Buffet breakfast was average. Reception staff unfriendly, not helpful and when we asked for a taxi he flicked his hand at us and told us to go down the street and we would find one, pompous man. So tired of rude unfriendly reception staff in Italy.

The staff, food and facilities were amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly and allowed us to just do our thing. Being from New Zealand, the breakfast was a bit overwhelming in the best possible way. There was a great selection of local food to try just for breakfast. Only misses out on a five because the rooms were small and cramped for two people.
