My friend and I stayed for three nights. I'll start with more very minor "niggles" . I had emailed the hotel before we arrived and requested a kettle and tea/coffee making facilities. This was provided but there were paper cups not a proper cup. My friend went to the restaurant and they were happy for her to take a cup, but then the cleaner took it. Please provide a proper cup! Secondly, we had to leave early on our last day so went for breakfast at 7am. It was disappointing to be told we couldn't sit outside as it wasn't ready. Also the coffee machine was being cleaned and not all the food was out. I think everything should be ready at the time of opening. So, niggles aside, this is a fantastic hotel. From the moment we checked in, the staff were warm and friendly. They answered our questions and called us taxis when we asked. We had a room each. Mine was a single which was small ( as expected) but not cramped. Bed was soooo comfortable. Lovely bathroom and shower. Air con worked brilliantly. We paid extra for breakfast. 15 euros each. Scrambled eggs were good. Plenty of selection including fresh fruit and cereals etc. Was lovely to sit on the rooftop. The flowers are lovely. There are 4 sunloungers up there and we spent our last afternoon relaxing and having a beer (9 euros). The location is lovely. Quiet and felt safe. About a 20 minute walk to Trevi Fountain. There are numerous restaurants close by which was great as we didn't want to venture far after a day of sightseeing. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel . Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fantastic hotel in an excellent location—close enough to Rome’s main attractions for easy sightseeing, yet far enough away to enjoy a quieter, less touristy atmosphere. We stayed for seven nights on a bed-and-breakfast basis and had a wonderful experience throughout. Breakfast (and dinner) is served in the rooftop restaurant, which also features a superb terrace bar with stunning panoramic views across Rome. The breakfast was always fresh, well presented, and while some may feel the selection is not extensive, we found it more than sufficient and thoroughly enjoyable. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the service across all areas of the hotel was excellent. Our room was fairly basic, but spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We also had a lovely private balcony, although unfortunately the view overlooked the hotel’s inner walls and grounds, which was less appealing. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Marcella Royal Hotel. Well done to Team Marcella Royal, and thank you for making our visit extra special. Rome, we loved you! ❤️

Beautiful hotel with absolutely amazing staff. The hotel is located around a 20-30 minute walk from most central spots, making it feel a perfect balance of Rome without too many crowds or noise. We stayed in a Superior Double room which was modern, clean and comfortable. Fresh towels and bedding daily. Room included air conditioning, mini bar, and a code-locked safe. Rooftop bar has a lovely atmosphere on an evening to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Tourist tax is currently €7.50 per person per night, payable by card or cash. You leave your key at reception when you go out - this is so staff know who is in the building in case of an emergency. This was reassuring due to risk of pickpocketing, however it does raise security questions of claiming the key back. We did not have to give our name or any proof to collect the key, just the room number which is visible from the front desk. Even to staff members we had not encountered before. We had breakfast included which opened at 07:00 and was always fresh, clean and hot. I have coeliac disease and there was a small stand of Schar products, pre packaged and also fresh fruit. I avoided the buffet due to cross contamination risk. Most visitors use the same tongs across food and touch their plate items with them which is risky for those with an autoimmune condition or allergy. However, I chose not to bring this up personally as I was happy with a small breakfast. I assume if other gluten free guests requested a separate fresh plate to be cooked, the staff would likely do their best to accommodate.
