Our 4th or 5th time at this friendly hotel, staying in a suite or a deluxe room. Modern, spacious, well furnished. Friendly staff. Lovely rooftop bar / restaurant with a nice Roman view. A quiet street. 2 mins. walk to Pzza. di Popolo. 10 mns. to Spagna. If you stay on the 4th floor prepare for some noise from rooftop bar action.
Superb by all means!!

I stayed in 3 hotels during my time in Rome. My husband had a medical emergency so we were not able to fly back when initially planned. I wanted to extend my stay here but unfortunately they were all booked out so had to go somewhere else. The staff went above and beyond our entire stay. If I ever come back to Rome this is where I will stay. It was by far the best of the 3 hotels we stayed.
Nice and small

Nice small hotel. Staff is excellent. We had a suite on the first floor which was big enough for the 3 adults. But there is not seating when the pull out bed is in use. The hotel is down what I would call an alley,which is pretty typical in Rome. Near many of the important sites of Rome. The alley becomes noisy at night with garage cans and garage trucks which I didn’t like. The restaurant on the top floor was good for breakfast but is only seafood which my family is not very fond of so we didn’t eat in the hotel except for breakfast. There are plenty of good restaurants within a 5 minute walk. Convenient but if you are alight sleeper,get a room that doesn’t face the front of the hotel.
The gracious First Roma Arte Hotel hits all the marks!

The whole experience was lovely, from booking the reservation in person, to the fun art books and decor in the lobby area, comfy bed and bedding. Everything was done with attention to detail. The staff was so friendly and so helpful. A grand way to end our stay in Roma. I would stay there again and again!!
