Fodor's Review:

Inspired by Baroque artist Gianlorenzo Bernini's exquisite Apollo and Daphne sculpture at the Borghese Gallery, the Daphne Inn at Via Veneto is an "urban B&B" run by people who love Rome and who will do their best to make sure you love it too. This boutique hotel offers an intimate lodging experience, elegantly designed rooms, comfortable beds, a cell phone to use during your stay, fresh fruit and pastries with your coffee each morning, and a small staff of people who promise to give you the opportunity to see Rome "like an insider." They will help you map out your destinations, schedule itineraries, plan day trips, book tours, choose restaurants, and organize your transportation. It's like having your own personal travel planner. Pros: if rooms at Daphne Veneto are booked, inquire about Daphne Trevi; you get a priceless introduction to Rome by lovers of Rome; the beds have Simmons mattresses and fluffy comforters. Cons: no TVs; Daphne only accepts Visa or Mastercard to hold bookings (though you can actually pay with an AmEx); there are only seven rooms at the Daphne Veneto (and five at Daphne Trevi), and they're usually booked ahead.

Lovely B&B with extremely attentive and helpful staff. As a first time, solo traveler to Rome, they were more than willing to help, guide me to the best places, and make arrangements. The hotel is small but charming with a lovely breakfast area and small sitting room with a computer for guest use. Clean, centrally located, and delightful!
