The stay at this hotel was in the main very good. It is a small, well run and friendly hotel located on a very busy street close to the Vatican city. Staff were very efficient, friendly and appeared to go out of their way to assist. The majority spoke English which was a great help. The rooms were well appointed although not as large as I would have liked, however, I wasn't there to spend time in the room. The down side is that this hotel is very difficult to locate unless you know where to look. It is situated behind parked vehicles and trees and identified by a relativley small, unlit Brass sign. Also the reception is located on the first floor (not signed). For the disabled or with heavy bags it could be difficult to reach. All things considered, I would stay at this hotel again without any hesitation.

My mother and me had a wonderful stay at Il Gattopardo Relais, and definetly my next trip to Rome will be with the same accomodation.

I have a very mixed review for this hotel because of only one mishap that cascaded into a lot of disappointment. But for that, the hotel was quite nice, well-located near inexpensive street cafes and stores, very close to metro, beautifully decorated, great breakfast, and staff was very kind and helpful to the extreme. As other reviewers noted, it was a bit difficult to find, but our GPS got us there. Parking is available, but that too is difficult to locate. There is no elevator, but staff were very helpful in carrying our bags upstairs. The problem was that the hotel advertised air conditioning, but when we arrived we were told the air conditioning was shut down by August 31. Unfortunately it was still quite warm and with the double-glazed windows closed to shut out the noise from the street below (which was quite effective), the spacious triple room was very very hot. We all had a difficult time sleeping. When I asked about the air the hotel staff apologized over and over again. To make up for this, the hotel staff moved us to another room that was much smaller and very cramped. The staff thought that the air conditioner in that room was going to be fixed but it wasn't. Despite that, they moved us anyway, from a spacious triple with three beds (as we had booked) to a small double with a cot (which we did not want at all) and still charged us the triple rate. Apparently we were moved because the staff had shifted other guests into the triple that we were in. I simply don't know what to think about this except that I was, ultimately, greatly disappointed. If the air conditioning had been working, if we hadn't been forced to switch rooms, if we hadn't been forced to pay the same price for a much smaller and just as hot room, this would have been a great hotel and my reviews would all have been up in the 9s and 10s.

I had a great stay at the Gattopardo Relais. Just next to the Ottaviano-S. Pietro metro and a mere 15 minute walk away from the Vatican, Gattopardo's location is excellent, and it is not difficult to find at all. As a single woman traveller, I felt safe in the neighbourhood, and was impressed by the personal attention, professionalism, warmth and hospitality shown to guests by the staff including Christina, Paulo and Maurizia. The room was spacious, the facilities very good, and the breakfast (croissants, cheese, ham and fabulous cappuccino) a good way to start the day. I would certainly stay there again and highly recommend this townhouse to other travellers. Grazie mille to the staff at Gattopardo. Denise from Singapore.

An excellent small hotel, well situated for central Rome. Room and welcome both excellent. Only minor fault in my book was a slightly cramped breakfast room.

This hotel was a disappointment. Hotel access was awkward because of having to ring a bell. The breakfasts were skimpy at best. The air conditioning was insufficient for the hot Roman temperatures. There were no fans available to mitigate the lack of air conditioning. When I complained and asked for a discount because of the hot rooms, the clerk refused. When I asked to talk to a manager, the clerk also refused. The price was too high for the value received.

This six-room "boutique" hotel was in a great, safe location right next to the Ottaviano-San Pietro Metro stop as well as a scant three-block walk to the Musei di Vaticani. It was quiet, clean and well-kept with modern conveniences, a decent television (though with limited channels--and only a couple in English). an in-room safe for smaller valuables, a large, marble-lined bathroom (ours had only a shower, but they do have rooms with a bathtub as well), and a comfortable bed. The proprieteresses were at the front desk every day and could give decent English directions for museums, walking tours, sites, etc. The daily continental breakfast was plentiful and was available until well after 9AM. Different coffees were made to order--including both "Americano" and capuccino varieties. Credit cards accepted included American Express--which I was pleased to see as they have limited use in Italy and Europe in general. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at il Gattopardo Relais and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

By far, this was the best facility we have ever stayed at for the price. i would have expected to pay 50% more for a similar property anywhere in Europe. The staff was excellent. Parking was difficult upon arrival, but once the car was in the garage we were so close to everything we could walk. The subway was only 1 block from the room so that was very convenient. It was unbelievable that the facility was in such a busy place yet was so VERY quite in the room. This would be my first choice if I am ever in Rome again. If Pasquale and Barbara owned another facility I would stay there with no questions asked.

Excellent room only hotel, friendly and secure, first floor - no lift, they bring your bags up and down for you. Very close to a Metro and look for the number of the building not for the hotel by name, Very close to the Vatican and central to all else Roman. Excellent local restaurants and good tourist restaurants within a few paces. Very pleasent and very helpful owners. Have recommended to friends.

We were driving and had a very hard time finding the hotel. There is no hotel sign outside so we kept driving by it. Finally, I got out of the car and walked around until I found it. Remember this if you are driving. The rooms were the best we stayed in and very quite. The location was pefect for us as well since we spent most of the time at the vatican. Great place, hard to find though.

You will not find a nicer owner and manager. We enjoyed our stay so much Barbara and Pasq went above and beyond to make our visit a pleasure. We were going to go back to Rome for a final day and would not have spent the night anywhere else. My parents are older and have special needs. They were all taken care of. If there is one draw back it is the one flight of stairs to the hotel. But, they were not a set back.
