One disappointment was that we had picked the Hotel because of its beautiful roof garden and restaurant and this had not opened on time due to maintenance. The Hotel didn't seem to be bothered about this fact. Other than that, the location is fantastic and rooms and service very good. Perhaps a little bit pricey but then much of Rome is!

We had a wonderful experience here. The location is first rate, too. Don't forget to try the breakfast. It's memorable.

Whatever you do, don't let them check you into the sixth floor. The noise from the music in the terrace bar and the staff using the adjoining service area and elevator will keep you awake all night. The affected rooms should not be used for accomodation at all, let alone at the very high full price. This is definitely a hotel geared towards business travellers and conferences, rather than private travellers (though requested wake-up calls were ignored, made late or made to the wrong room, the turn-down service was poor and we returned at 3:00 pm one day to find our rooms still not cleaned). The public areas are splendid, the terrace bar is charming (and open to non-residents) and the check-in and concerge staff were friendly and helpful. The location is excellent for those wanting to view Renaissance Rome.

The service at this hotel is fantastic. Great attention to detail and staff speaks just about every language! This location is the best in Rome. It is a beautiful setting as well, and in the warmer weather, the Roof Restaurant is not to be missed.

sorry, but just NOT worth € 430 per night(and no breakfast, wanted € 35 per person!). room nice, service mediocre for a "luxury 5 star", public areas run down, would be ok for a dated 3- or 4-star. prices for in-room dining just ridiculous: a minestrone for € 20,-, spaghetti for € 25, a ripoff ! But the location is perfect!

Breakfast for 30 € was overpriced, no choice of good bread ( dry and hard rolls, bread not easy cutting ), generally no good choice for this price. No airport shuttle for the price.

We were very pleased with everything about the Grand Hotel de la Minerve. And for tourists, the location of the hotel is perfect.

Hotel was wonderful. Wife and I had a spacious double with view out to the Belini Square (directly in front of hotel, the elephant-monolith Belini made is about 30 meters straight out from the hotel front door.) The location to Pantheon (45 seconds), Trevi Fountain (8 minutes), Spanish Steps (12 minutes), etc. made it very convenient. The hotel is a little pricy, but the staff and their attention is the reason why. The concierge got (at my request) 2 great tickes for the Aida opera (without too much of a markup over ticket price). Breakfast buffet was great, and all in all, very good value if you are seeking a high end hotel, without the snobbery that can occasionally come along with such a selection.

Great hotel, quiet, central and close to most places of interest. Be prepared to walk and you will take in everything.

This was our 4th stay at the Minerva. It is our favorite location, the lobby and staff are great. The concierge could be more friendly. The staff was familiar to us as they had been with the Minerva for years., The bar and restaurant on the rooftop is exquisite and we ended our nights there with views of ancient Rome and some excellent limoncello. Our only disappointment the the tiny rooms. We asked for larger rooms (for which you pay the SAME price but were refused). All rooms are not equal in Europe! :-) Our biggest disappointment was that the hotel would not correstpond with us directly as other hotels have done - after the reservation. However, they were kind enough to store our luggage while we took a 3 day trip to Perugia. I would still stay there again.

Your prices on your laundry service are too high. Everything else was excellent
