Mecenate Palace Hotel

We booked this hotel last minute for one night. It was in a great location and was clean and comfortable. The staff was pleasant and very accommodating. We arrived very late and had to have our bags held the next day — we were able to print tickets, etc. from the lobby computer. In room wi-​fi and free breakfast were a bonus!

Located across from the Santa Maria Maggiore just 5 min from the Termini station, this hotel was perfect for our 3 day stay in Rome. I was wearily at first of staying near the station (heard it’s not the best location) but the hotel staff was super friendly and the room was really nice. The hotel is located on the corner of two major streets (i.e. easy to find) and 15 – 20 mins walk from all the major Rome attractions (colosseum, trevi fountain, pantheon, Spanish steps). If you plan on going to the Vatican or Trastevere (which I highly recommend) it’s a good 45 min walk but you can always jump on a bus or cab so not really a problem.
The hotel has 2 sides. The main building which has the lobby and the rooftop restaurant, and the other side which is located down the street. That’s where we stayed. The room was very modern and spacious but the bathroom was kinda small (the bathroom was pretty standard for Europe but compared to how big the room is the bathroom felt small).
The free breakfast on the rooftop restaurant was great and even though the hotel is located on a major street, it was quiet at night. Overall I was very pleased with our stay and would recommend this place to my Unilocal friends (this place is also very highly rated on Trip Advisor).

My mom and I stayed at Mecenate Palace when visiting Rome for a few days. Overall, we had a pretty good experience. The front desk staff was helpful and always willing to help out whenever we had a question. They were always friendly and made several suggestions for the best ways to see the city.
The hotel has two different sides. The main side, where the front desk is located, is a bit more standard of a hotel you’ll find in Italy. It’s not dated, but it’s not quite as modern. The rooftop restaurant is over on that side. My mom and I stayed most of our nights in a room on this side and had little complaints. We could look out our window and see Santa Maria Maggiore out the window. It was great listening to the bells at night and be able to overlook the plaza and watch people coming and going.
The other side of the hotel, where we stayed our first night, is much more modern. The rooms are slightly smaller and are all connected through an outside terrace area. These rooms are accessed by leaving the main hotel, walking down a few doors, and up a flight of stairs.
The one thing that impacted our stay is that we specifically chose this hotel for the fact they had an elevator since my mom has bad knees and stairs are difficult for her. The first night we were quite disappointed to find ourselves up a long flight of stairs which my mom struggled to get up. The hotel didn’t have any other rooms available, so we made it work. The next day, however, they moved us to the other side for a room accessible by elevator. They were as accommodating as possible and had a bellhop move our bags between rooms for us while we were out sightseeing. It was a smooth transition between the rooms. The only disappointment left for us is that the hotel restaurant is on the rooftop and the elevator stopped about 2 floors below the restaurant level. Thus, my mom had to take the stairs slowly to and from breakfast each morning to take advantage of the free breakfast.
The breakfast itself every morning was ok. In the about 4 mornings we ate there, there was no variety in the breakfast. The servers were frequently quite busy and it took a while to get drinks to the tables. One morning we had to wait for a table to become available. The food offered was good, but the pastries were a bit disappointing.
The location within Rome was great and had quick access to several sights, a sightseeing bus stop, and was on a main traffic circle so you could get transportation easy. Also, staying right by a major church in the city was a great way to be sure you can find your way back to the hotel! It’s a pretty good place to stay if this is the area of Rome you want to be in!

My family stayed at Mecenate Palace Hotel on our last leg of our European Vacation. After staying in 3 other hotels in 3 other cities, this one was very nice! The front desk man greeted us and knew exactly who we were the instant we walked in the door! He was courteous and gave us plenty of information and even a discount on the restaurant upstairs so we can have a late dinner.
The rooms are spacious and clean and have very large bathrooms! Not what we were expecting for Rome, so we were very pleasantly surprised!
This hotel is within walking distance to the Colosseum and the Forum and just steps away from the underground.
The hotel arranged our transportation from the airport upon our arrival and our departure with no problems at all.
Also, make sure to take part in the daily complimentary breakfast that is offered on the rooftop every day, it is worth it. Plus they offer for a small extra charge cooked to order eggs and varied meats. Very tasty!
We stayed there a week, and had a very pleasant stay.
Thank you Mecenate Palace Hotel!

Sicherlich gibt es noch bessere bezüglich der Ausstattung,
aber hier stimmte das Preis-​Leistung-​Verhältnis. — sauber
— toller Ausblick (siehe fotos)
— sehr nettes Personal !!!
— super Lage (bahn 3 Min entfernt und Hbf 5 Min) Ich war vollkommen zufrieden.

Overlooking the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, this hotel is ideally situated for Termini station and the city tour bus. Its right accross the road from a good supermarket and the metro is at the end of the street. The room was great and the air conditioning was spot on. The staff were so nice and were really helpful when I jammed the in room safe. The best thing was the breakfast room on the roof. What a view of Rome! In the morning, just watching the city come to live was breathtaking. the restaurant next door was excellent, we had quite a few evening meals there watching the world go by in the piazza. Hotel was just a short walk from the colloseum, which in the heat was very welcome.
