First Musica Hotel Rome

Wed Jul 23 2025 05:10:07 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Craig W

My family and I stayed at The First Musica Hotel in Rome in July 2025. This boutique hotel was beautiful and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! EKatrina at the front desk was super sweet, helpful, and was excited to share with us all of the nearby sites to see, restaurants, and shopping. This was our first family trip to Europe and First Musica was our first hotel during our two week trip to Italy. The First Musica staff and EKatrina made us feel at home, relaxed, and very welcome!!!! Great experience!!!!

Very Nice Hotel in a Wonderful Location.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the First Musica. It is in a wonderful location in the Prati district with many good restaurants nearby. The Vatican, The Castel Sant Angelo, and the Vatican Museum were within walking distance. The Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps were similarly within short walking distances. The hotel is modern, very neat and nicely decorated. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very pleasant and went out of their way to accommodate us during our stay. The rooftop restaurant and bar offer spectacular views of the Tiber river and the Rome skyline. The Prati district where the hotel is located is more residential and less "touristy"...which worked well for us. We definitely would recommend The First Musica Hotel for you stay in Rome, particularly for its accomodations and location.

Beautiful hotel

Our room was spectacular. It was large and very modern. The bed and bedding was very comfortable. The staff was more than accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. The location was a little off the beaten track and by little I mean one block from a main road which was nice to be in a more quiet area at days end. As someone that travels a lot but reviews very little I would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely, clean hotel with a beautiful view overlooking the Tiber River. Within walking distance to some of the the city's main attractions. The staff made my stay exceptional. Ahmed and team made sure I had everything I needed starting from my arrival at the airport to my departure from the hotel.
