We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean, the staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable and the location is near unbeatable in my opinion. This is not to mention the views from the rooftop bar/restaurant. I would highly recommend staying in this hotel if you're visiting Rome.
Staff where fantastic rooms very clean would go back any time
What we loved:
This hotel has a magical leg up on all others - the view! Yes, you will pay more for it but WOW. It is special to come home after touring Rome and sit atop a roof gazing at St Peters Basilica and looking over the city. We did this every night and every morning
The staff! Amazing, nice, well spoken and support needs and requests in a timely manner (speak many languages!)
Cleanliness!(with one exception see below)
Breakfast - full breakfast that included Italian favorites (cornetti yum!) and traditional American (bacon and eggs yum!)
Drinks! Delicious
Coffee - hot and ready!
What wasn t so great:
We chose this hotel during the pandemic for its convenient location to the Vatican and its restaurant and bar. We were disappointed that both evening occasions in the roof top bar our waiter (same both evenings) was not accommodating and somewhat rude. On our last night we asked to sit on top and they said it was closed, and seated us on the lower level, then a half hour later we saw service occurring upstairs - why pay for a supreme view of as a guest you can t access it during open hours? We settled for the Lower level, still nice views and then at 10:55 we asked for one more drink - people had bottles of wine on ice still so we figured good to go. We were told by the waiter no the bar is closed he then walked upstairs to the roof top area weren t allowed to drink at. We continued to wait for our bill only to see the bartender make another full tray of drinks and coffee. What??!?! We were stung a bit but shrugged it off. Just felt wrong.
Only visited the rooftop bar. It has an amazing view. This place is near the Vatican so it has a great view of the Vatican and other views of Rome. Best I've seen compared to other rooftop bars I've visited in Rome.
Nice view but very old furniture inside. Bad smell.
Best view of the Vatican City in Rome with a lovely roof top bar. The staff there are friendly. Although rooms are extremely small, super convenient location make it possible to walk to almost every sightseeing spot.
SCAM, BEWARE - THIEFS OPERATE IN THE HOTEL
We were attacked by a thief inside the hotel in the morning while going for breakfast. He walked in freely to 3rd floor, and jumped on us in a narrow corridor, hitting me in the face and pushing down the stairs. Thankfully other guests came with help and he run away.
The hotel didn t care. The reception was empty once I went down (nobody checks who enters the hotel). Finally the receptionist appeared and said he didn t see anything (well, not surprisingly) and that s a normal thing. They didn t even bother to check if the thief left the hotel or to notify the police. I left my number for a manager who didn t bother to call me. I never felt such disregard for guests even in 1-star hotels. Unless this hotel
cooperate with thiefs which would explain their approach.
CHOOSE THIS HOTEL FOR YOUR OWN RISK.
Our AC doesn't work. The room is incredibly dated and questionably clean. Location is great but I will definitely look elsewhere in the future. They left our bags in the main lobby for several hours unattended even though we were promised they would put them in our room (we checked in early but as the room wasn't ready, we left our bags and returned in the evening several hours later). Carpet everywhere which is gross. Definitely not the 4 star they market themselves as.
The Atlante Star sits close to the Vatican and is on the outskirts of Rome center. The hotel staff was friendly and greeted us when we arrived, we were concerned our room wouldn't be ready because of our early arrival time into Rome but to our surprise the room was ready and it was no prob to check in. We got a suite and my bad for not getting a pic of the second room but it was spacious and plenty of room for 4 people. The room was a bit dated but it was clean and comfy and perfect for the 2 nights we stayed in Rome. The roof top bar had an amazing view of the Vatican and it made for a great sunrise and sunset experience. We were able to walk from the hotel to the Trevi fountain and Spanish steps no problem. From there we hoped on the red bus and made our way around. We would definitely stay here again.
