Hotel Royal Bissolati

Warning: AVOID THIS HOTEL! I want to warn anyone considering a stay at this hotel. My husband and I booked a stay from September 27-30 to celebrate our 40th birthdays. Due to my father-in-law’s health issues, we had to bring our two children along (3 & 11) but my husband forgot to update our booking. Upon arrival, the receptionist loudly informed us that we could not stay in the double room. I was embarrassed on how she was talking to my husband, I am just so glad no one is in the reception during that time. We were demanded to pay 240 Euros per night, totaling 720 Euros for our stay, which was far too high for what we received. We were being taken advantage of in a stressful situation. We know that we are at fault as well but charging us 240 euros per night was unreasonable! The room was so small, good thing the 4 of us manage to fit on one bed. After this, I hurriedly double check the rest of our hotel bookings on this Europe tour and unfortunately on our Florence hotel our children was not included as well. I immediately called the hotel and to my surprise they said if we wanted additional bed they will charge 10 Euros per night but if we dont then there will be no charge at all with free breakfast for all of us! If you’re looking for a hotel that values its guests and handles situations fairly, look elsewhere. This hotel will rip you off and take advantage of you. Please be cautious before booking or do not book at all.

Nice, spacious, clean room with a king bed. The lack of a closet was a bit awkward, but otherwise the room entirely met our needs. Comfortable bed and great water pressure for the shower. Also great breakfast buffet. Centrally located. 5-minute walk to Piazza Barberini and its metro. But what really makes the difference is the staff. They are ultra helpful and Judy at the breakfast buffet never stops and still always has a pleasant greeting and a smile.

It was a nice week stay. Great location close to piazza Barberini and villa Borghese and all spots in general. Pharmacy and corner shops are also nearby. Super helpful staff. Cleaning and changing every day. Air conditioning. Not very diverse breakfast but I’m ok with it😉

I was surprised to read the negative reviews about the Royal Bissolati, as our experience was 100% positive. The hotel was large enough to have nice facilities but small enough to have a high level of service. My wife and I appreciated the stylish modern room furnishings. The room was spacious enough, and we had zero issues with noise, as the window treatments did their job perfectly. The bathroom was nice and water pressure good. The AC worked well as expected. The lobby is pleasant and airy, and the breakfast area just as hoped. The location of the hotel is excellent, and we walked easily to all sites in the centro. We dined nearby and there is plenty of shopping within a few blocks. We even walked to the hotel from the Termini station, after we saw the interminable taxi line there. We would recommend the Bissolati to anyone seeking a lovely alternative to the larger and more impersonal hotels near the via Veneto. We stayed there in early July.
