I don’t normally do hotel reviews but after reading so many negative reviews about this hotel I was worried that the hotel may not reach our expectations, I was wrong. Check in went well very helpful reception staff. First appearance was a hotel full of character typical of an old Italian hotel. All public areas were clean and well kept. Lovely outside garden area with a bar and outside seating for drinks and food. Our room was nice again typical Italian, complimentary water on arrival, a fridge, coffee and tea making facilities. Nice bathroom with a lovely hot shower. Shower gel, shampoo and body lotion provided. Towels changed daily. Only negative about the room, the bed and pillows were very firm so we asked reception for a bed topper and some more pillows which they provided. Rooms cleaned efficiently. Lots of plug sockets. We didn’t hear a lot of street noise, but it is a busy city and one can expect some noise sometimes. All staff we came into contact with were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was typical of a buffet breakfast comparable with other Italian hotels we have stayed in, some hot food, cold meats and cheeses, breads, cereals, fresh fruits and tinned fruits. They also provided a selection of gluten free options you just need to ask. The only real negative was the orange juice it was more like squash. Small inside bar with a television we watched the Champions League Final. Overall it is a very pleasant relaxed hotel in a nice area with lots of good Italian restaurants in the vicinity. I would definitely stay here again. I hope this review has helped other people thinking of staying at this hotel, or already have a booking. Our experience was very different to some of the other negative reviews and I feel the hotel deserves some positive feedback. Thank you for looking after us Hotel Quinirale. The only reason it’s not a 5 is the firm beds, but they did try to help in providing with the bed toppers (we did sleep better) and the juice at breakfast.

“Traditional hotel in an ideal location”

As part of a package break to go to the Italy v England rugby match we stayed here for 3 nights. It's a traditional hotel with over 200 rooms which on arrival looked rather grand but we later realised that it does need some refurbishment. It's in the centre of Rome so it is within walking distance of all the main tourist attractions, a metro stop is also close by. Our bedroom was large with a big comfy bed but it didn't have much furniture so it looked a bit empty, however there was a fridge and a small TV. For some reason one window was shuttered so you couldn't look out from it, the other window had views of rooftops but not much else. The bathroom was also large and looked recently refurbished. Despite the size of the room the shower was small, there was plenty space for something much larger. Water pressure left a bit to be desired but wasn't terrible, there was plenty of hot water. Housekeeping was good throughout our stay and the rooms were spotless. Both the bedroom and bathroom were very clean on arrival and stayed that way throughout. At night there was a lot of street noise (including sirens) and there was music from from a club down the street until late in the evening. The bar downstairs the bar is tiny with hardly any seating but there is big comfortable lounge where you can take drinks or use waiter service to order bar meals if you wish. The restaurant is split between a conservatory, with views of the garden, and the main dining room. We only had breakfast there, for dinner we used the local restaurants. For the size of the hotel the buffet breakfast was poor - orange juice from concentrate, inedible hot items (bacon you couldn't chew, watery scrambled egg etc.), a limited choice of breads, a few dutch cheeses, sliced meat that wasn't replenished. However the machine coffee was OK and there was a choice of nice cakes. Not a great deal to get excited about apart from the location which was ideal, just average so only 3* rating.
