Hotel Lirico

“A lovely hotel in walking distance of all of the main attractions”

We have just come back from an 8 night stay at the Hotel Lirico, A family trip - so we booked two rooms. The rooms are cosy, but that is the norm for city centre / European locations.

We have just come back from an 8 night stay at the Hotel Lirico, A family trip - so we booked two rooms. The rooms are cosy, but that is the norm for city centre / European locations. Both rooms had roughly the same footprint, but were laid out differently. One room (315) had a larger bathroom - taking up perhaps 3/5 of the width, and the wardrobe filled the final 2/5. In the other room (310), we had a smaller bathroom, taking up 2/5 of the width, and the remaining 3/5 was open room at the end of the bed (making that room feel slightly larger). I'm mentioning this as you may prefer a larger room feel, or a larger bathroom. 310 also overlooked the main square, where the Opera House is located, so lovely views. The stay was lovely. Very clean room, comfy bed (mattress on the harder side as others have mentioned, but perfectly comfortable), external shutters if you want to darken the room at all, and great service from reception, house keeping, and the staff at breakfast. On that, if buffet breakfasts are your thing, do take it at the hotel, it is very good. The only two things to mention really are, 1) storage is tight, so be prepared for that, although the wardrobes are large, but as is normal, they don't have loads of hangers (but there is space for more if you brought some of your own). 2) depending when you come, the aircon may not be on 'cool'. In one room it was, but in ours it was locked to 'heat'. When I enquired at reception I was told it changed over to cold later in April (and a quick Google indicates this can be common). I suppose my daughter's room being cold was just luck? The location is great. Roughly 8 minute walk from Roma Termini, and an easy walk to most landmarks (the Vatican is longer, but we just went via other locations, and stopped for coffee etc. on the way). Will be back to Rome, and will most likely book into the same hotel again.

“Third stay - lovely hotel”

Just returned from our 3rd stay at Hotel Lirico. Rooms are clean & tidy, staff are friendly. Quiet location next to Opera House. Lots of excellent restaurants in area. Good location within walking distance of all attractions. Only 5mins walk from Termini & metro.

“Fab location, quiet rooms”

Great location, within walking distance of pretty much all attractions (not Vatican). Quiet room when windows are closed. Room is a little dated but comfy and clean with adequate spacing. Friendly receptionists. Only disappointment was I asked for wine/prosecco in the room as this was booked for my… more

“Good value option for short stay in central Rome”

Stayed 2 nights at the Hotel Lirico and glad to say that it met expectations.

Stayed 2 nights at the Hotel Lirico and glad to say that it met expectations. As it was a short stay in Rome and we were moving on by train we were looking for a good value hotel near Termini station and also within walking distance of the sights. Hotel did not disappoint. Only a short walk from Termini, right next to Opera house, and lots of options to eat and drink nearby. Hotel was cheaper then some of the others nearby but more than met our needs - room was well sized, as was bathroom, bed was good, plenty of storage space and breakfast was excellent. Note we had to pay extra for breakfast at time of booking. There is an option for breakfast in the small resturant area of hotel or to pay a bit extra for breakfast at local resturant. We tried both and the in-house breakfast was far better so go with that. As noted by others not great hotel for those with mobility issues as you must climb a flight of stairs from street level to reception. There is only a lift from the reception level to the various floors. Overall, it was definitely value for money. Most of your time in Rome is spent out and about seeing sights or in the many great resturants & bars so no need to pay extra when there are places like the Lirico that more than meet needs.
