The Regency, Rome, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

What a wonderful stay at the Regency Rome, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Beautiful boutique hotel located right in the heart of Rome. We were welcomed warmly by staff. Champagne and a nice note from the general manager was a nice touch. We were celebrating a milestone 90th birthday and my own wedding anniversary. The hotel arranged transportation from the airport to the hotel as well as transport to the departing cruise port.

Amazing hotel! This is such a great location that is not in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Its in a quiet area over near the Rome Zoo and Piazza de Siena which has the Borghese Gardens! Quick 10-minutes walk. Also some nice restaurants close by and in walking distance. You will need to take a taxi if you come in at the train station, which will cost you under $10. Dont be scammed by a taxi trying to charge off the meter! The room itself was so clean and luxurious. The AC worked pretty well. Had a really nice balcony that had excellent views! The bathroom was very nice and had a rain shower. The bed was comfortable and clean. Nice turn down service and provided us with little chocolates on the bed. I was very impressed with everything. Restaurant was god, we had some snacks and drinks down there! Also had a welcome drink at the bar and coffee in the morning. Coffee was from a nespresso machine, not so great, I was hoping it would be made from the large old school copper espresso machine they had at the bar!! Overall i definitely suggest this hotel. A little rather out of the central rome locations and the touristy things, but still a nice place to stay if you like it a bit quieter!

This hotel is a gem. Located in a good neighborhood this hotel and its staff were superb. They know every guest by room and name. They went out of their way to ensure we had an amazing honeymoon experience from check in to the gift awaiting in our room. The restaurant was good. All in all, a small hotel that offered excellent service, best bed and pillows of the 8 hotels we visited on this trip, nicely decorated, and overall a definite YES for travelers to Rome.

Excellent hotel with outstanding service. It's very quiet, conveniently located to the major sites in Rome, and away from the crowds. It's approximately 45 minutes from FCO. Highly recommend The Regency for couples, not families. My wife and I had a wonderful stay.

Decent location within reasonable walking distance of Spanish Steps and Piazza di Trevi. There are better hotels closer to the city centre, but this one is more reasonably priced compared to a lot of others in the area. Hotel has a small restaurant and bar, along with small workout room which is a plus considering many local hotels don't have a workout room.

We stayed here for 3 nights. It would have a great stay but staff walked in a couple of times even having the do not disturb. 1st knock on the door and after I said hello, she just opened the door and asked if she can clean the room. 2nd time, we were sleeping in and again the don’t disturb was on. Slight knock which woke me up and even before I can say anything, the door opened wide and my wife screamed. She closed the door quickly and left. I called the front desk and reported the incident and also asked several times to talk to the manager. During check out, they said the manager is not available but they have told the housekeeping department. Really!

Beautiful and clean hotel in a quiet neighborhood not far from tourist spots (10 minutes or so by taxi). Beautifully appointed rooms with Juliet balconies and comfortable beds. Great breakfast each morning, we particularly appreciated Elena and her kind service and excellent cappuccinos :) Really wonderful women working at the front desk with great local restaurant recommendations. We look forward to returning. Would also like to recognize Ernesto for being so kind to us and his help with our luggage as well.

The good points about this hotel - wonderfully clean. The neighbor appears quite safe and is pretty quiet. The not so good points - let me count the ways. First upon arrival I asked about early check in knowing that they had no obligation to do so. I was clear that I was willing to pay for the courtesy. I was enthusiastically told that my room would be ready in less than an hour and if I wanted wait the desk clerk would personally come find me as soon as it was ready. As a result I decided not to take a walk or go do anything but took a seat in the bar and ordered. Two and a half hours later when I checked in at the desk there was a new person who of course knew nothing about the promise of a room and just wanted to tell me that check in time was 3 pm. The temperature of the room is 100% controlled by the from desk. If you are like me and you think most hotels are overheated you will be very unhappy. Every day I call and ask the desk to turn off the heat (it is in the 60s here currently during the day). Every day the heat comes back on after temporary respite. The neighbor is mostly offices so most neighbor bars and pizza places close mid afternoon. Not much of anything is open on the weekend. You won’t find many places to catch an informal quick early dinner snack. The food at the hotel itself is okay but not much of anything is available between breakfast and when room service starts at 7 pm. I think there might be some cold cuts served during happy hour starting at 6 pm. The room itself is basic but clean and acceptable. The bathroom is odd as the sink has absolutely no counter space (see photo). Who would think this is a good idea?!? Would I stay here again? Probably only if the location was near where I had a meeting. Definitely not in the summer since the room temperature is controlled by big brother.

I completely understand for hotels managing early check ins can be challenging. What I don’t understand is when a guest is willing to pay and is told a room will be ready in an hour to just keep delaying and giving fake timeframes. This is just a sure plan to end up irritating a guest. Be honest at the very beginning if an early check in is not going to happen. Plain and simple. I don’t need to sit in the lobby like a fool waiting for something that was clearly never going to happen
