Palazzo Velabro, a Member of Design Hotels

Dizajn, lokacija, doručak

Wonderful and very tentative staff that catered to our every need. We travelled with an 18 month old baby and had some special requests on the spot regarding his diet and they were very considerate and went out of their way to help us. Very nice rooms - actually nicer in person than in the pictures. Very nice terrace for drinks and small bites. Free minibar is a nice touch even though we didn't use it. Would definitely recommend it and would come back. Maybe not perfect for families, but perfect for couples, friends or business trips.

Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, ein sehr stilvolles Hotel mit sehr schönen stilvollen Zimmern. Die Lage ist absolut hervorragend und äußerst ruhig.

Great little hotel.
30+ rooms and very authentic. Modern Italian look and feel. Very stylish. Breakfast of great quality however there are also some downsides of the hotel.
- child friendliness is given, however they charge a huge amount extra, despite the children stay free Bonvoy policy. This makes the hotel take a hit at the value pOV and hence 1 star deduction as this is also not clarified beforehand.
- AC was turned of in April. For 450€ I expect to use it any day of the year
- showered changes from warm to hot in an instant all the time, and then back again.
- breakfast is good, however a lot of items cost extra. This is usually included for a room price of 450€ in other hotels.
- Bonvoy advantages are very limited as it is a design hotel. Basically for us it was one free drink, no upgrade etc.as it was fully booked
- gym is super small. Not really something g usable for myself but a nice addition nonetheless
- cinema is a great idea. However they do charge you 10€ pP to watch a movie. And not a movie that you choose but one that they choose.

So basically: good hotel but they try and get more money out of you wherever they can. Which is not great.

Bardzo nowoczesny apartament z dobrym wyposarzeniem

Очень приятный отель во всех смыслах, сотрудники, номер, ресторан, расположение — все замечательно

We stayed at Palazzo Velabro, a Design Hotel member an d I would not recommend it.

We had 3 rooms, two paying cash and myself on points. We booked rooms with "courtyard views".

Their rooms were on the 4th floor, mine was the handicap room on the bottom floor with an alley outside my window where cases of return bottles were stacked. I did not get breakfast and when I inquired as to why I was told they weren't a member of Bonvoy, they were a Design Hotel.

Why did they take my points then? Why did those who paid get Bonvoy Points?

The hotel was nice but the policies and attitudes expressed by management weren't.

We stayed 3 nights and after speaking several times to layers of management I was grudgingly moved to a 2nd floor non-handicap room.

Location isn't great, I wouldn't stay there again, cash or points.

Oh, let me add that on our last night we were awakened at 0200 by a fire alarm and told to evacuate. We all stood outside, it was cold, for 20 minutes, no explanation or
" I'm sorry" given

Just my .02

Наш отдых прошел замечательно. Месторасположение отеля позволяет гулять пешком ко многим достопримечательностям. Ресторан при отеле очень вкусный и уютный. Так же в отеле есть маленький кинотеатр на 6 человек, и за небольшую плату вы можете посмотреть фильм с поп-корном и напитком.
Как и в любом отеле, тут тоже возникают небольшие проблемы, но персонал сразу замечает их, максимально быстро и эффективно решает.

The design was amazing

Loved the property, everything was above expectations! The location is prime and makes Palazzo Velabro such a hidden gem. The Rooms are spacious and the service and staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and help to bring the Roma experience all together. Plenty of amenities as well and the Apicio 16 restaurant is phenomenal. Special shoutout to our check-in concierge member, Domiziana and her team really helped my family settle in fast and got oriented to go enjoy Rome.

Perfect location. It was nice to have a fine restaurant in hotel.

Hotel was in a wonderful location with great restaurants and bars in walking distance. Just across a bridge from even more amazing dining options. Walk to colosseum and forum. The hotel room was immaculately decorated and very good pillows and mattress. Coffee in the room. Delightful treat upon arrival. Water available. Good vibes.
