The Britannia Hotel

We had a nice stay at this hotel! The staff is so nice and welcoming. The hotel felt safe and we appreciated that the room had a safe. We heard no street noise and the AC worked well during our stay (it was about 75-80F outside at the time). The breakfast has a lot of choices and the cappuccinos were excellent! The shower was great and the room had more space for our bags than I expected. The hotel offers free walking tours 3 times a day. We walked to the hotel from the Termini station. The hotel arranged for a taxi to the airport for us, very easy and he even arrived early. Overall, this is a nice hotel to relax after a busy day in Rome!

We were a group of four persons, two adults and a kid and we stayed at the hotel during the period December 21st - December 26th 2024.
It was a great, pleasant stay and I can particularly highlight the excellent location of the place, right at the center of the historical center of the city, the excellent service, the very polite and helpful stuff and the wonderful breakfast.
Gladly we'd pick at the same place again for our next visit to Rome.

Loved it. We stayed on the 4th floor and used the tiny little elevator once in order to walk off all the yummy food.

We had lots of little birds on our balcony today.  The balcony is gorgeous and very romantic.

Our breakfast was very good.  I had scrambled eggs and a spinach mush and a pumpkin mush....both super yummy.  And, of course, a cappuccino.

The hotel is all marbled and beautiful wood with lots of detailed work.  We have a bidet with special soap for your privates.  If there is one light switch, there are a hundred.  Our room is 3 rooms and a stunning balcony - a bedroom with a window that overlooks a small street.  I opened the window this morning and then opened the shutters....so romantic to look out at the windows and balconies across the street.  Then we have a sitting room with the biggest chaise lounge i have ever seen, covered in velvet and lots of pillows. Lovely to nap on.  There are windows on two sides of this room with beautiful heavy velvet curtains over delicate curtains.  The French doors flanked by windows open onto the patio, and the other windows open onto the side street.  Finally, in our bathroom, we have a deep spa tub/shower, a sink and toilet, and bidet.  There is a skylight in our ceiling with beautiful glass.

All the furnishings range in age from maybe 5 years to maybe 200 years.  They have modern full-length mirrors with beautiful antique mirrors hung in front.  It is a stunning effect.

I thought noise would be an issue, but once the windows were closed, it was just like being out in the country... except that at 9 a.m. we woke to the lovely sound of cathedral bells. Just such an over the top sensory experience.

All in all, we would rebook. The price was reasonable and the hotel is beautiful on the eyes.

I’ve read the reviews on here and here is my genuine honest opinion: the staff treated us very well. The room (I picked a small one) was perfectly suitable. The bed was so comfortable that I slept very very well. Breakfast was really good too. The location is close to many bus routes and the attractions. There was no noise at night.
So in summary I was really pleased and yes would stay here again. I am a normal tourist and not a hotel staff member.

Our stay was fantastic. The staff is amazing. They all went out of their way to be helpful and kind. Alexandra was a phenomenal help to us on so many occasions. We only stayed in Rome for two nights, but will definitely come back and recommend this hotel to our family and friends

Charming , beautifully decorated 4 star hotel near Rome termini station. Nice area . The staff are very friendly and helpful . The breakfast that is included is excellent with all the usual pastries, cakes, cereals , fruit , cheese etc as well as eggs and bacon . Highly recommend . Our room had a terrace too!

Great hotel option about a 14 minute walk from Termini station. We stayed for 1 night upon arrival in Italy, and 1 night on our way back home. Both times our room was clean, wifi was fast, we were able to use the elevator for our bags, and had a great breakfast. The staff is friendly and helpful, and arranged us private taxi transportation to and from the airport. It was convenient and pleasant for a quick stop in Rome.

We got into Rome early and the desk staff was so kind to store our luggage and show us the restroom. When we later checked in, again the staff was exceptionally kind, setting up an airport transfer in the morning and promising us a boxed breakfast since we were leaving earlier than the normal breakfast hours. The hotel is a walkable distance to the Trevi fountain and to the metro, so we were able to explore quite a bit of the city in a short time. The room was absolutely lovely, comfortable and clean. As promised in the morning, our ride to the airport showed up on time and a to-go breakfast was ready for us. I would absolutely stay there again.

I can’t adequately express how much we enjoyed our stay with Hotel Britannia, but I’ll endeavor to try!

We arrived in Rome early in the morning via train at the Roma Termini. The hotel was roughly a half mile from the station and we had a gentle hill to ascend with our suitcases, so it was a simple journey.

Check in was at 14:00, but the hotel graciously agreed to hold our baggage until we had access to our room. We asked the concierge/front desk to suggest a restaurant, and, without hesitation, she immediately recommended Osteria Oliva, a small cafe that was about a 10 minute walk from our hotel. She also told us she would phone ahead and make a lunch reservation for 12:30. We still had plenty of time to kill, so we walked to Trevi Fountains, which was within a 15 minute walk from the hotel. Of course, there were thousands of tourists there, so we slowly ambled to the cafe. Holy wow what a treat that was! I’ll post that review separately.

When we returned to the hotel, our luggage was already in our room, and check in was a snap! Our room was on the 3rd floor, but we had a small (very small) elevator, so getting up and down was a simple prospect.

Our room was spacious and comfortable. There was a safe in the closet, an ironing board, and a hair dryer. It also included a wine fridge (with wine available for purchase at a reasonable price) along with a vanity table. In addition, a teapot/kettle was available along with several tea selections.

The shower was spacious and offered an amazingly refreshing rain shower head that had ample water pressure, and hot water in abundance. The bathroom also had a bidet next to the toilet.

Now, this is where the hotel separates itself from the competition …

The hotel also offered free “excursions” of many different varieties. Most were walking tours of the area and explored local cuisine. We attended as many of the complimentary tours as possible, and dearly wished we could attend them all. We thoroughly enjoyed the free tours and would stay at this hotel brand just because we loved the experience. Totally worth it!

The hotel was perfectly situated for walking tours. The Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and so many other sites were all within a 20 minute walk, and with minimal hills to climb. The Vatican was closer to a 50 minute walk.

The hotel also offered an elegant complimentary breakfast that included eggs and bacon (pancetta), ample fruit and pastry selections, three freshly squeezed juice selection (I highly recommend the blood orange juice), along with cappuccinos and lattes, or Cafe Americana.

The staff was eager to be of service and constantly sought ways to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

On our final day, they made a taxi reservation for us, and refused to let us carry our own luggage! I can’t wait to return to my new “home away from home!” We’ll never go to Rome again without staying at Hotel Britannia.
