Albergo Cesàri Review

The exterior of this intimate hotel on a traffic-free street is as it was when Stendhal stayed here in the 1800s. Inside, the hotel has been renovated and there's no patina left from the days when Garibaldi and Gregorovius were guests, yet most rooms are sweetly embellished with old prints of Rome and soft-green drapes and bedspreads, creating an air of comfort and serenity. Furniture is new, yet traditionally styled. Bathrooms are done in smart two-tone blue marble. At the rooftop bar, guests can marvel over the views during breakfast, or in the evening over cocktails.

    1. The hotel transportation never picked us up at the airport. We confirmed via email twice, and it was a no show. We attempted calling the hotel, and their phones were out of service (which lasted for 2 days for the entire hotel, and the entire trip for 1 of our 2 "superior" rooms) so, after looking for the driver for an hour, we cabbed it.

    2. Arrived at the hotel where there was no apology for the hotel arranged transportation fiasco. We were told how busy they were, etc.

    3. We waited 4 hours on the roof to check in. You would think they might clean our rooms first in that we were the only guests waiting to check in? Not true. We were told one hour ... 4 times. Eventually check in at 2:30, which is 1.5 hours after check in.

    4. Rooms: dark, small, no working phone, no clock in either room, step up to bathroom with a ridiculously small shower "stall." NO CLOCK, no wake up call due to no working phone.

    5. Internet out for our entire stay, and yes, nobody (except the guests) cared.

    6. The hotel arranged transportation took us to the airport. Lovely looking ride, however, it was not working and could only travel 20 MILES PER HOUR the entire ride to the airport. Van stalled twice. Very pleasant being beeped at and given the finger for 1.5 HOURS to the airport. Discount offered .... NO.

    The only good thing about this hotel is the location. I have traveled throughout Europe, and this is one of the worst choices I have made for accommodations.

    I have been to Rome before-to another hotel. This hotel was a nice surprise. The Albergo Cesari is in a great location. You can stroll in the evening between two major piazzaa, and is located near the Trevi and Pantheon. It is a short walk to the Via Delcorso that leads to the Spanish Steps. Staff was very accomodating. I definitely plan to return there next trip to Rome.

    We stayed for one week this April and everything went perfect. Close to all main sites, good restaurants and tour logistics. Transportation service to the airport was impecable.
