We stayed three nights at the Mercure Roma Corso Trieste hotel in Rome, Italy, and our experience was very positive. First of all, our flight to Rome landed at the airport in the morning. Check-in time at the hotel was 2 pm, but the staff was gracious and allowed us into our room earlier, and we were able to take a nap and compensate somewhat for the jet lag. We were very grateful for the kindness of the staff during the whole time we were there. Our room was clean and quiet, and we slept very well. We enjoyed breakfast there as well as supper, and the food was amazing. The breakfast had many options to choose from, and every item I tried was very tasty. I was pleased with the varied selections of milk. I am allergic to dairy, and was glad I could have oat milk with my muesli. They had soy milk, rice milk, and other options as well. I don't see all those options in the hotels I stay at in the U.S. Usually, I am lucky to find any milk alternative. The hotel is not located near the typical tourist sites in Rome; it is in more of a neighborhood setting. You will need transportation to go to downtown Rome. But I went to a grocery store not far away from the hotel, and there are a number of good restaurants within walking distance. It was a very positive experience staying at the Mercure Roma Corso Trieste, and I would recommend it to others travelling in Rome.

“Good, typical Mercure”

Hotel is located far away from the city center but walking distance from the orange metro line (st. Agnes station). My room was relatively big with a nice bathroom, including walk in shower. Breakfast was extremely basic, the same for all 6 days but fresh. Very friendly staff.

“Not bad but needs still some improvements”

I stayed in this hotel (4 stars) situated in Roma-Trieste quarter for 5 days, i.e. 4 nights as an alternative to my former hotel (3 stars) which has changed to the negative during the last 3 years. Altogether it can be said that it is not bad, but it has still a high potential of improving. The... more

I stayed in this hotel (4 stars) situated in Roma-Trieste quarter for 5 days, i.e. 4 nights as an alternative to my former hotel (3 stars) which has changed to the negative during the last 3 years. Altogether it can be said that it is not bad, but it has still a high potential of improving. The room (classic double used as a single) are partly renovated, however, not the sockets. There was no socket near the bed, and the sockets at the opposite wall were too far away from the water kettle and the Nespresso coffee machine. Thus I could use them only the first day as the reception staff removed them from the minibar and placed them on the little table. However, the next day the maid rearranged them on the minibar, she did not even look at the too short electric cables. The bathroom was not very well kept. The dust bin contained some little waste from the previous guest, the shower partition urgently needed a cleaning of the sealing. The breakfast was plenty and should have left no wish open. However, the coffee was hopeless, it was the worst coffee I ever had in Italy. The last day I had to spend some time in the lobby as my plane left only in the evening. The strong smell of ham and eggs from the open kitchen in the early afternoon was very disagreable, they apparently did not have or did not use an effective extractor fan. The staff was in general very nice and polite. The receptionist was strangely dressed in a private leisure dress (grey pullover and slacks) which is not representative for a 4 star hotel in Italy and which I have never seen in the hotels I visited in Italy. The worst was this dreadfull music the whole day, its loudness and its choice. In German we would call it "Schnulzen". This is also quite unusual for a 4 star hotels with partly business people as their guests. As to the decoration: I did not like the wall paper with the big trees at the head end of the bed, I had hoped to get a room with the former decoration, but well, apparently they are no longer available. The hotel is situated in a quite residential area in Rome and was quite. This is is a very big plus for Rome and I am glad that the reception staff gave me the requested very quite room. Thank you again.
