The Tribune, part of JdV by Hyatt

Location , room, and sraff

Beautiful chic boutique hotel in a great area near the Borghese gardens, quiet at night, excellent breakfast, gorgeous rooftop restaurant, attentive staff.

Hit and miss room conditions. Some of our rooms were decent, but some were not well maintained. That room should not have been released to any guest to stay if was not maintained and needed repaired and we booked 3 months ahead.
Location was ok, quiet, and convenient.

Terrible hotel, dated, uninviting, dark rooms, smells bad, terrible beds, uncomfortable mattress, low quality sheets, bedding and services not great. Also on top of it, extremely noisy from street traffic and the middle eastern restaurant across the street has parties nightly hosting large engagements, weddings etc and very noisy with loud music till 2:30 am. Avoid this hotel if you want to get some sleep.

What a wonderful hotel. Amazing staff, delicious breakfast and the rooftop restaurant was a true delight. If we make it back to Rome we will most certainly be staying here again.

The hotel is in a quiet, but still walkable, neighborhood adjacent to the Villa Borghese. There is great gelato within a 5-minute walk and a lot of great restaurants (the Sardinian restaurant is a standout for fish). The rooftop bar is a bonus and breakfast is a full spread with something for everyone. All of the staff are great - helpful, friendly, and kind. They seem to really enjoy their jobs and treat guests that way. This is definitely the nicest Hyatt I have ever stayed at and I would definitely stay again.

This was my first visit to Rome I knew nothing about where to stay or the area this hotel was located in. My search criteria were simple: I wanted to be in this area. When I found a hotel associated with a brand I was familiar with, it made my choice simple.

My expectations were exceeded from the moment we arrived. The first employee we encountered was the front desk staff, Myro. As soon as our luggage was removed from our taxi, he was outside to assist with it. He was quick and efficient during the check-in process. He gave us excellent suggestions and directions.

Our room was large, well-decorated, clean, and with a comfortable bed. The housekeeping staff was very respectful of our privacy and our belongings. Every staff member we encountered made us feel valued as customers.

The hotel was perfectly located for our needs. The view from the rooftop restaurant was amazing. Sorry, I can't comment about their food, but I found the cappuccino I was served was very well made. The only food we ate at the hotel was breakfast in the lounge area. They offered a wide assortment of local pastries, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, and a variety of meats and cheeses. I almost forgot the largest container of Nutella I had ever seen.

The lounge staff was taking care of the guests, keeping the area well-stocked and clean. This next part tells a lot about how well managed the hotel is. After our first visit for breakfast, the staff remembered us and our coffee order. Molti Grazie Molti Bene
I think one of the best compliments I can give The Tribune is that I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family. Yes, I will also book this hotel on my next visit to Rome.

Great location

It was an ok hotel. The lobby and stair case are very funky, with nice seats to sit in. This is needed as the rooms are very small, especially for three people. We had two power cuts on the second night, the toilet flush broke the third night and the day we were leaving the power locked us out of our room.

The gym was good and my 16 year old made good use of it. The complementary water was useful.

Hotel is supposed to have an environmental focus but there were no glasses, cups or tea spoons. We had to ask for these every night and the cups were tak away cups. It was supposed to have tea and coffee but these were only refilled on the second last night (we were there for 6).

Also we stopped using the soap as every time we came back they had replaced the bar with a new unopened one.

The toilet door was a sliding glass panel that was frosted, which didn’t offer a lot of privacy, especially given we had a 16 year old. It didn’t shut properly either. The wood around the bathroom was also worn away with water, so looked quite grubby.

Rooms are small and we looked onto the extractor fan and other rooms, not exactly the great view given it is supposedly a 4*.

The room itself was clean and staff very friendly but the smallness of the room, the slightly uncomfortable bed and the lack of cups and's glasses took the shine off the hotel.

The hotel is near to the big park and the Spanish steps. We walked in most days and central station is about 30 mins and the Vatican is 60 mins on foot. We never used the underground as weather was so nice.

Can’t comment on breakfast as €60 a night for a family of three was just excessive.

After six wonderful nights in Malta at the Hyatt Centric, I had a one-night layover in Rome and chose The Tribune—and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt effortlessly refined and impeccably styled, striking the perfect balance between contemporary elegance and warmth.

As a World of Hyatt Globalist member, I truly felt recognized and valued, which always elevates a stay. The thoughtful touches stood out—abundant bottled water in the room and excellent gluten-free options, both of which made me feel genuinely cared for.

Though brief, my stay was polished, comfortable, and memorable. The Tribune proves that even one night in Rome can feel beautifully elevated when hospitality is done right.

The Tribune is a lovely hotel in a fantastic location, surrounded by great cafes and restaurants (though note that some gelato shops close during winter). The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and even surprised us with an unexpected bottle of champagne—a thoughtful touch that made us feel right at home.

The breakfast buffet is expensive but top-notch with a delicious spread, and the rooftop bar is a great perk. We also loved having a double balcony, which provided wonderful fresh air.

However, as a family of four with kids (ages 10 and 12) who are getting older, the room felt very small. It fit a king bed and two pull-out beds, but it was a tight squeeze. Our main issue was the storage; there was only a closet and no drawers or shelves, so we had to live out of our suitcases for the entire week. While it’s a great hotel, I’m not sure we would stay here again simply because we’ll need more space as the kids continue to grow. It’s a beautiful spot, but perhaps better suited for couples or families with younger children.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Tribune. The entire staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. We had no complaints whatsoever. They were 100% amazing throughout our stay.

The hotel facilities are excellent. We were also given a complimentary room upgrade, and the room was extremely comfortable, super clean, and smelled wonderful.

The location is great. It’s close to everything, yet in a quieter area, away from the heavy tourist crowds, which we really appreciated.
Breakfast was amazing. Many options and delicious food

We truly felt it was worth it and would definitely come back.

This hotel is fantastic, I booked three rooms through my amex hotel collections account, we had a comp minibar, free drink at the bar, $100 on the room and other great perks. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful, lots of choices and fizz was included for breakfast drinks!

THe rooms were very clean and great toiletries.

We would recommend this hotel.

Staff was lovely and very helpful.

TUTTO PERFETTO , NON HO NULLA DI CUI LAMENTARMI

I am currently staying at Tribune Hotel Rome (Saturday–Thursday) and experienced a serious safety issue.

On arrival, the hotel issued me a room key that opened an already occupied room. After reporting this, I was placed in a different room where the internal secondary security lock does not function.

Given that a key was already issued to the wrong room, a non-working internal lock is a legitimate safety concern. I raised this immediately with the night front desk staff member (Jeffer), who stated he was the only person on duty and that the issue could not be addressed until morning. No alternative room with a functioning internal lock was offered.

I have video evidence showing the internal lock does not engage. Being asked to wait overnight after a key-control error is not acceptable. Until the hotel demonstrates reliable key management and fully functioning room security, I would recommend avoiding this property.

Hotel was in a great location. Nearby restaurants and no reservations needed. We walked everywhere and felt safe at all times. Staff was extremely helpful in giving recommendations for sites to see etc. extremely clean hotel. Breakfast was great and the staff were all very kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

tha staff was helpful

We stayed at this hotel with our family and had a very pleasant experience. Although the room was on the smaller side, it was very well distributed, with separate beds for each child and a large, comfortable bed for mom and dad. The large window made the room feel bright and open; however, we would recommend a bit more illumination inside the room, especially in the evenings.

We really appreciated having full control of the air conditioning and heating ourselves. The shower was excellent, there was a safe in the room, and room service was fast and efficient, which was very convenient when traveling with kids. Breakfast every morning was outstanding, with great variety and quality. The rooftop restaurant and bar are beautiful, offering a lovely atmosphere to relax and enjoy the views.

The staff truly made a difference—everyone was nice, polite, well organized, and always willing to help. Overall, it was a comfortable, family-friendly stay, and we would happily recommend this hotel, with the small suggestion of improving the room lighting.
