Accommodation - Italy - Rome

SophisticatedTraveller*
* the ultimate travel reference guide for discerning individuals

 

 

Hidden behind Rome's ancient crumbling facades lay some of the most luxurious hotels in Europe, monuments of palatial grandeur providing the finest levels of hospitality and refinement, interspersed amongst a diverse and modern range of stylish designer establishments. There is clearly no shortage of choice in accommodation for the discerning traveller, although such choice is often provided at considerable expense.

A warning however, many hotels maintain a pretence of grandeur, welcoming the unaware with elaborate grand foyers and spectacular lobby's, yet providing rooms that are less than adequate and fall short of the inferred expectation. It is often that the more heavily promoted establishments represent exceptionally poor value relative to the level of service and hospitality provided.

On average, it is to be expected that room sizes will be on the small size comparative to international standards, although the general level of cleanliness and comfort is high, many properties having undergone major renovations in recent years. A common shortcoming amongst the more central lower priced hotels can be inadequate noise insulation from the bustling city activities outside, it is recommended specifying a quiet room upon booking. Furthermore, not all hotels are air-conditioned, an essential requirement throughout the stifling hot summer months.

Despite such an abundance of accommodation actual room availability is at a premium, reflecting Rome's ever increasing popularity as a year round holiday destination. It is essential to make reservations as far in advance as possible to avoid disappointment. Discounted rates are periodically available when occupancy levels are low, it is worth enquiring as to availability as such savings can be significant.

Hotel pricing and ratings are controlled by the Italian government, the later dependent on facilities provided as distinct from the actual level of luxury and refinement. It is not uncommon for the better hotels in Rome to have a lower star rating because full dining facilities are not provided. Note, all hotels are obliged to impose an IVA (value added tax) on accommodation and services, which can range from 9 to 13%. IVA may or may not be included in the quoted room rate, always be sure to confirm the pricing as IVA inclusive to avoid unpleasant surprises upon check-out.

Premium locations are the areas near Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini, Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, and Piazza Navona and the Pantheon for those wishing to discover a little of ancient Rome's atmosphere.
