Fodor's Review:
Oh, if these walls could talk. Once a convent, later a house of ill repute, this palazzo has seen it all. Not a trace remains of either incarnation, and today it's a hotel known for comfortable rooms with marble and travertine bathrooms and a fine location, just off Piazza del Popolo and a few minutes' walk from the Spanish Steps. As for decor, it's traditional hotel luxe, with a lot of polished surfaces, mirrors, and shiny lights, so don't expect any time-burnished patina. However, the view from the rooftop terrace restaurant, taking in a panorama of domes and cupolas, is enchanting.

We arrived late (around 1am) because our flight was cancelled and we ended up staying in an airport for 14 hours, but that's another story. So needless to say, by the time we got to the hotel, the last thing we needed was a snooty attitude, which was in abundance. When we saw the room, I was appalled. My smallish pantry kitchen is bigger than this room. I went to take a shower and the shower didn't work. It took them 24 hours to fix that, and it still didn't work. I have never felt so cramped in all my life... and put off by the staff. It was small, dirty, and oh-so-gaudy... we're talking mirrors on the ceiling. We checked out after two nights of listening to the bar crowd downstairs. Never again!!!!
