Amazing staff! Georgia was outstanding at checkin and check out. She’s helping us ship some things home as we are traveling on. Eraldo took great care of us in the bar, great personality, knows his drinks and funny.
My favorite hotel in Rome, one of the best in Italy. Nice large rooms, perfect location and quiet surroundings in a loud city.

A great choice!
We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is in a walkable location. It is close to the Colosseum and Ancient Rome, but our room was very quiet and peaceful. It was clean and modern, with room for our family of 3 to spread out. There was a strange smell at times which is keeping me from 5 stars, but overall a great choice!

This was a beautiful property. It was clean and quiet and located within many historical sites within walking distance.
I paid for the breakfast and every morning I had a delicious breakfast with two cooked eggs, bacon, and an assortment of delicious items!
I would like to give a big shout out to Leeza who served me a delicious cappuccino every breakfast!!
My son and I had a beautiful room with two twin beds and a sitting area! Very safe and quiet!

The hotel was beautiful, the staff was exceptional, and the room was spacious and felt luxurious. Nice breakfast.
Big plus is the quite terras where you can unwind, get a quick bite and look out onto the Capitol Hill. The cocktails are outstanding.
Location is excellent. 5 min walk from old forum, 10 min from great dinner places at Travestere, you can walk to the city centre/shopping areas. For further locations, there go a multitude of buses within a 5 min walk. Metro is 10 min walk. You can check into bus/metro with a debit card.

Our 4 night stay at Palazzo Velabro was wonderful! Our room was spacious and had a large balcony that over looked a garden and faced the Palatine Hill. The location is fantastic as the property is located within pretty close walking distance to several historical sites including Circus Maximus, the Capitoline Hill, the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. We also had no problem walking up to the Pantheon or Baths of Caracalla. The Tiber River is right across the street as is the bridge to Trastavere. The entire hotel staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, setting up taxi rides and offering to help us make restaurant reservations. I would 100% recommend staying here and will definitely stay here next time we're in Rome.

Palazzo Velabro was absolutely everything we had hoped and more. Situated in a beautiful and quiet area it is modest on the outside and luxurious on the inside. The property itself was great, the rooms were spacious, the restaurant and bar were accessible and continuously well kept, and the cinema was a lovely touch with full control over air conditioning and volume. The only minor note is that though the hotel is accessible through the bar and has elevators available, addition of a small ramp to assist with the step up into the restaurant would greatly improve accessibility for wheelchair users. It was the perfect hotel for our honeymoon, and the service and staff were absolutely incredible too.

We stayed 4 nights at Palazzo Velabro and loved the hotel. We booked the Classic Suite which was a beautiful retro-style 1 bedroom suite with a large pull-out couch for our son in the living room.
The hotel serves a nice breakfast in the restaurant/ bar with some very good items that can be ordered as extras next to the buffet with lots of Italian pastries. The fresh grapefruit juice is heavenly.
The hotel even has a 6-seat mini cinema where they play (classic) movies 3 times a day.
Best part of the hotel is the location. It’s near the Forum Romanum and when you cross the river less then 15 mins walk to bustling Trastevere. Many other main sights are within 20-25 mins walk and if you don’t feel like walking it’s easy to get an Uber within 5 minutes.
The staff was friendly and helpful and as as the hotel was completely renovated recently it was in great condition. The hotel has a small gym.
If you’re going to Rome, stay in this wonderful small hotel!
