This hotel was in a very quiet location, not far from the railway station. It was very quaint and had a great rooftop area to take a bottle of wine, sit and take in the view. The room was a bit shabby and small but sufficient. The shower as in most hotels was average but at least it worked. Most of the staff were very helpful and courteous and we particularly liked the waiter who served breakfast, he was a character.Breakfast could also be taken on the terrace outside, which was a nice touch.

Nice and small hotel with quite good location very close the centrum. Good for business travellers.

The hotel was comfortable and clean. However 2 of the 3 reception staff were not particularly friendly and one of the breakfast staff could do with more customer service training. I was aware of similar comments from reviews that I had read before booking so I was not entirely surprised.

The bathroom needed renovation. It was quite old and didn't had courtains in the bath tub

We were originally booked into the hotel Viminale, but when we got there they were full. They had a cab pick us up and take us to the Hotel Torino and they put us into a very nice room. The staff was great and every care and attention to detail was taken care of. Leonardi Hotels are family run and from what I was able to find out - they don't like screwing up. Buffet is A#1.

Satisfactory overall, with a decent price/quality ratio (well, almost as far as you can go in Rome). Somewhat poor welcoming and reception service, in particular if you are not comfortable with the "Roman attitude" but, on the other side, breakfast service was warm and cheerful (and breakfast more than decent as well). Clean + quite rooms, and great location walking distance from Termini Station and Colosseum.

I enjoyed very much my stay in Rome, and this hotel. The location is perfect for tourism and business. All the nice monuments are in walking distance, and the hotel is very near to the metro station (both Termini and Cavour). I’ve chosen the hotel in conformity with all the positive feedbacks on this page, and I wasn’t disappointed. By the way: the hotel rooms look much nicer than in the photo on the web site :). The negative feedbacks are not justified. I will definitely choose this hotel again!

Perfect location and quietness. One of the best hotels in the area. The breakfast terrace is just perfect.

The hotel is fortunately situated in a quiet street, but readily accessible to all the major landmarks in Rome. The hotel organised a taxi to pick us up from the airport thereby making for an easy transfer. The reception staff were helpful, although slightly offhand, but the overall experience was very good and we would recommend this hotel to others.

Via C. Balbo is a very safe place, as there was a carabinieri post 100 meters away from the hotel at day and night (because of a governmental institution at the corner of the street). Very close to the entrance of the hotel, some homeless people used to sleep at night, which was somewhat strange, but not really disturbing. Nevertheless, a very lovely place, with an ancient church as neighbourhood, which gives a somewhat romantic feeling when sitting on the terrace for breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruits: instead of coffee, perhaps prefer tea or call for a cappuchino which is also served for free. All the staff, specially at the reception, was very helpful, friendly and kind. Enjoy the beautiful terraces at night, watching the birds, but - please - don't talk and laugh out loudly, with respect to the other guests.

We, ie. 2 mature couples (mid six'ties) visit interesting cities all over Europe for extended week-ends. This spring it was Rome. Hotel Viminale is not in the nearest neighborhood to Pantheon but close to Colosseum and Capitol. Furthermore we fond plenty minor and "honest" italian Albergos in the area / less than 10 minutes walk from the hotel, best a bit south of Via Cavour.

Viminale is convenient to Termini and Piazza Venezia, located behind the Ministry of the Interior on a quiet, secure street. View out the front windows is to a high wall topped by Roman pines--not very picturesque from lower floors. There are no restaurants or shops on the street, so you have to walk a bit, but it is an easy walk over to Via Nazionale for shopping, or to the Repubblica metro station. The room was quite large, the bed comfortable, and the pink marble bathroom spotless. Best water pressure in the shower anywhere I have stayed in Italy! On the negative side, the furniture has seen better days, the carpet could be vacuumed a bit more thoroughly, and the mini-fridge motor was a little loud. But the price was certainly right, the front desk staff was helpful and friendly.

A good base for seeing the sights of Rome, in a quiet location.
