Location is good, not great. One can walk or take a bus to most places of interest, and the neighborhood is safe. We ate breakfast at the Quirinale, which was edible but not exciting, but went out for other meals.

No problem with the room, which was on the 5th floor, except for a mysterious water leak in the bathroom which just pooled a bit in the middle of the floor. We never found the source of this little leak. But the room was clean, spacious, w/ modern appointments, including a safe in the closet for guest use. In a city of pickpockets, we found that useful.

I would not recommend a room facing the street; traffic can be VERY noisy at night with the window open even a little bit.

Lobby was very spacious, and the staff was extremely accommodating to any request. Their fee for internet usage was high; better value about a block away on one of the side streets.

After reading the negative reviews of the Quirinale, I was a little worried about taking my group here. However, I found the hotel to have been an excellent bargain on the east side of the old city.

My guess is that many who have complained about their experiences here are at best inexperienced travelers. This was my seventh visit to Rome and my nine nights here were the best nights I have spent in Rome. There also were no complaints from anyone in my group.

If you do not expect a HOLIDAY INN experience in the middle of Rome and you have a little experience in travel around Europe, this is a fine place to stay.

One additional note, one reviewer complained that the Quirinale was too far away from the attractions of Rome. If you are in reasonabe shape, the distances are not too far to walk. For instance, we walked to the Colosseum twice - walking distance = 18 minutes.

We have just returned from staying three nights at Hotel Quirinale and we both had a wonderful stay! We stayed on the 4th floor in a lovely spacious and grand room with our own chandelier! The bathroom was a reasonable size and the whole hotel was spotlessly clean.

The hotel staff on reception were extremely helpful, friendly and polite. The continental breakfast was also very tasty and plenty of choice.

Having read some of the previous negative reviews about this hotel I was also dubious about what to expect. However, upon arrival I was very pleased with everything that I saw and would consider this hotel to be of high quality with excellent customer service. I would certainly have no problems with staying here again.

we found this hotel after checking out of a dissapointing hotel,the walk in rate was great 135 euro.the room was like a suite,the staff helpfull and the building had character.in via nationale so close to the tourist attractions.great brakfast also.would highly recommend hotel quirinale.
