I stayed at the hotel from 12/28/2011 to 1/07/2012 it is a very nice hotel but expensive, the best part is the location very close to the Pantheon, but our rooms were 340.00 euros/night and they were small rooms. Any drink or food at the hotel was too expensive so we did not try any. Service was excellent and friendly. More

This is a wonderful hotel in a great hotel that overlooked the piazza. We had the junior suite which is well appointed as expected for the price and service. Highly recommended! More

My friend and I visited the roof terrace in this hotel after a long day doing the sights. To our utter dispair we were treated so badly I am now prompted to write a review so that I can save other visitors from the dispectable and shameful behaviour of the staff on the roof terrace. My friend ordered a Singapore... More

It is just a walking distance of all the major sites right next to Pantheon. As we had only two days in Rome location was our decison basis. I got what I was looking for. The lobby is great, however, the rooms and furnitures are old and the service in general is average. The bell boy was answering our questions... More

Dear Guest, It is with utter disappointment we receive your feedback , mostly because of your statement regarding service being “average”. We compel all our staff to be at the guests disposal, helping them in any of their need or request. This is why the bell boy doubles as concierge when the proper one is not at disposal. However we...

I have been coming to the Hotel Minerva for 14 years. My last visit in November, 2011 was excellent. This hotel is not resting on past glory, it is making itself better. The staff was excellent, the room updated, and the breakfast buffet completely revamped and wonderful. I will return again soon. More

Imagine walking out of the front door of your hotel and seeing that you are a block from the Pantheon. Probably just another day to a local, but incredible for a tourist. In addition to the location, the staff are friendly, speak English, and are attentive. There is a rooftop bar to go to to see the sunset over the... More

Other than location we didnt enjoy the experience at the hotel. Especially for the price or the hightened expectation of a 5-star hotel. We wanted to warn other travellers, as it was a very unusual 5 start hotel, nothing was really living up to that quality. There was not much of client service orientation, just rather indifferent attitude, which you... More

We have stayed in the hotel multiple times, typically annually, so this being our 5th trip, we knew what to expect. This is the first time I have read the trip advisor comments and unfortunately many of them resonate. We visit Rome to walk, not spend time in the hotel. Because of the location this makes each short trip a... More
