From the moment we arrived at Hotel The Duke we were met by courtesy and efficiency. Not only were we directed to the nearest - very good - restaurant, having arrived late for lunch, but the room we occupied was far in excess of our expectations. It had a king sized bed and a wonderful balcony. One can only appreciate the quiet and peacefulness of Rome from the unique position of Hotel The Duke and the sunrises and sunsets were some of the most wonderful we have seen on our world-wide travels. After the fantastic service at breakfast, nothing was too much trouble for the shuttle bus drivers (principally Luigi who was marvellous, thank you!), including really valuable advice about where to go, what transport methods were most effective and who REALLY provided great meals! In addition, once we had returned after 6-7 hours' exploration of Rome, we were able to relax in the extremely comfortable air-conditioned room with lovely en-suite. Afterwards, retiring to the Hotel lounge, we were lucky enough to have Fabrizio serving us with pre-meal snacks and such enthusiasm about the food and drink provided that we are sure he will go on to greater things and eventually run his own hotel! Every single member of the dining room staff - from the waiter who discreetly collected my fallen napkin to Fabrizio who tentatively delivered Gaeta olives, dips and olive oil REALLY appreciating feedback, made our stay one of the most special we have every had at any hotel in the world. To say we would recommend this hotel is the understatement of the decade!! Room service and cleaning was also superb, as was the sheer attention to detail to each and every customer. Well done and thank you Hotel The Duke and you can be sure we will be returning and recommending you to everyone we know - Mr and Dr Mofrad.

Great hotel for a family of 4. It's not walking distance to any major attraction, so each trip will cost you about 15 Euros, unless you reserve and take the shuttle into town. One computer near lobby for internet access, but can purchase WIFI for in-room service. Breakfast was good. Rooms compared nicely to a Marriott in the US. 2 flat screens, very helpful staff. The sent little treats to the room for no reason at all. We recommend staying at the duke, especially if you are a light sleeper. Small shop 3 doors down is great for water and necesseties. We bought our dinner from here one night and it was great.

The hotel is average. The room was nice. The bed was a little too firm. I expected a better lobby. The elevators were a little worn. The hotel is located a little too far from all the attractions. The junior suite is roomy. Via taxi it costs about 10 to 18 Euro's to get into the city depending on what time it is during the day. They do offer a shuttle that drops you off by the Spanish steps that runs every hour until 9 nish. The staff however was very friendly, the breakfast crew was great. I suppose the hotel would be an okay option if it was not located so far from the city center.

I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone travelling to Rome.The staff were outstanding in every way and made us feel very welcome. Our room was beautifully furnished and had a great bathroom. It was also very quiet which I believe in Rome is unusual. There was even a turn down service each evening with chocolates on the pillow.The shuttle bus into town was excellent and dropped off at a very convenient spot for sightseeing. All in all a great hotel and if we ever visit Rome in the future we would return to the Duke.

Staff were fantastic, location was out of the way (taxi approx 10 euro downtown .. adds up!). Rooms were spacious and clean, turned over daily. Breakfast very good, dinner expensive and restaurant lacked atmosphere. However ... overall this hotel was good value for money considering Rome prices.

Inspite of booking at the last minute, I was very fortunate to find the Duke. Far enough out of the centre of Rome to avoid all the usual tourist rubbish, but close enough to get an authentic feel of Italy, the overall rating must be excellent! Friendly, efficient and all that we could have wanted. . . I will book again.

Overall we enjoyed out stay. The hotel's menu proved expensive, but after a long day touring the sites we didn't want to go out in the evening as well. We chose the hotel for its location away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and it was very quiet, but if we choose to visit Rome in the future we will perhaps stay nearer the centre.
