Romanico Palace Luxury Hotel & SPA

Booked a five day package at this hotel - which was described as 4 stars, luxury and opulent. In a nutshell completely over offered and massively under delivered! Our offer included an upgrade to DELUXE room. Our room was small, very basic with a smell of sewage. We went straight to reception and were immediately without question given a better room. This was bigger and better but still fairly basic compared to what we were sold! Added to horrendous hard bed, smell of sewage and noise carrying through from other guests and staff. Breakfast was just about OK- fresh juice and most decent offerings were all charged as extras. The staff were so unhelpful and very miserable. The Spa and Gym was a massive disappointment as hotel wanted 90€ a session for the two of us - so wasted precious package space for gym kits. We had enough and decided to check out early but for a second time given an upgraded room, which was at last acceptable but we would never return to this hotel.

First and foremost this is NOT a 4 star hotel by US standards. Three star tops. My room was booked through a third party as part of a package so I'm not exactly sure what I paid per night, but as part of the package I had three nights in a Florence four star hotel and this room hotel wasn't as nice To be clear, there's no glaring problem with the room or the hotel. The bed was just as uncomfortable as every bed I've ever slept in in Europe :-). I just like my bed a little softer I guess. Also, they have the slowest revolving door I have ever experienced. It's motorized so you can't make it go any faster. I felt like I spent a fair percentage of my vacation in that damn revolving door. In addition the entire property is dated, though everything was functioning as designed. The front desk was friendly and helpful and the person running the included breakfast was exceptionally friendly, but the food left a lot to be desired. Bottom line, if you're paying a two and a half or three star price there is nothing wrong with the place, Just don't go and expecting a four star experience.

Booked this hotel through a great offer on voyage prive. There is a good reason that great offers are availiable on this hotel - the rooms are appalling. If it was a 2 star budget hotel I would say that it is OK, but as a 4 star it is way short of the mark. We booked having read the reviews and thought that it can't be that bad. We were wrong! It is. The location is great, Rome is a city that you can walk everywhere in the city centre, and by doing so will stumble accross incredible sights, but do expect to get your steps in! The breakfast buffet on offer in the hotel is as I would expect from an Italian hotel with 2 major exceptions; the coffee and the fruit juice. The coffee was chicory flavoured instant and the fruit juice was more like squash. Better versions were availiable if you paid extra, but at a 4 star hotel anywhere in the world, but especially in Italy I expect basic quality to be included. The restaurant staff were unhelpfull and just miserable. Our room had a very hard uncomfortable bed, and a leaking bath. We were upgraded for the last night to the honeymoon suite which at least had a comfortable bed. Overall the hotel is very much faded grandeur and in desperate need of a lot of money being spent on it.

Review is for people traveling with babies. Room was nice and baby bed and sheets were clean and good. The bathroom could be a little slippery when wet and it was hard when giving the baby a bath. The elevator is small for the stroller but that is to be expected and almost all elevators are small in Italy. The breakfast was okay. We had better in other hotels. They should really work on that.

The room was very pretty and light and airy and the bedroom floors were tiled which felt clean. The ceiling of the room was beautiful. It has good air conditioning in the room. The free breakfast had good options including mini pastries, marble cake, small bread rolls, some fruits, yoghurts, cereals, vegetables and hams and a cupboard full of gluten free options. There was another menu which you could pay for other breakfasts like French toast, eggs Benedict etc which were all about €10 each. You had to pay an extra €5 if you wanted orange juice because it wasn’t included in the free breakfast. We booked through Jet 2 and the deal we booked had the spa included in the package and is the reason why we booked this hotel, however the hotel cancelled the spa as a part of the deal and would not offer us some money off. The location of the hotel was good and a safe area. There is quite a few restaurants nearby and they are cheaper since they aren’t in the city centre so we got dishes of carbonara for €9 each which we thought was a good price. The staff were helpful when we asked for restaurant recommendations nearby.

I would advise you not to book this hotel based on the pictures on both theirs & the Jet2 website as they are definitely not what you see on arrival. The rooms are filthy & are in need of a huge update, the bathroom had a constant drain smell & again was absolutely filthy, the shower doors didn't close properly so water poured out onto the floor, there was no plug hole cover so we kept slipping into the hole. The hotel offers a spa but sadly this is at a cost of 45 euros per person for 3 hours & this isn't stated on the website. There are extra charges at breakfast for standard things like omelette, pancakes or waffles. This hotel is advertised as a 4 star but it is most definitely NOT anywhere near that.

We were 7 people and we stayed there for 2 nights. I liked everything about our visit and it would be outstanding if the breakfast buffet was bigger . The Location is perfect as it is not far from Trevi fountain . The staff are lovely and accessible 24/7. The hotel has very nice atmosphere especially the decorations 👌 100% recommend 👌

Stayed here for 4 nights and found the hotel to be very comfortable and welcoming. Staff kindly spoke very good English and were very helpful. Location from the Spanish Steps about half an hour easy walk. Roodtop bar and breakfast terrace is a fabulous place to enjoy the view of Rome's wonderful rooftops. Hop on hop off bus about 20 minutes. Have no issues returning here. Thanks for a great stay... 👍
