Our stay at The First Dolce in Rome was absolutely perfect from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, the team made me and my son feel so welcome and special. Every single detail was thought of, and nothing was too much trouble. The service was warm, genuine, and attentive — exactly what you hope for but so rarely find. The rooms were beautiful, the location ideal, and the overall atmosphere just magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you to everyone at The First Dolce for making our trip unforgettable — we can’t wait to come back!

A beautiful small and boutique hotel, centrally placed for all the main tourist sites with wonderful staff. I travelled with my family, including parents, to celebrate a joint anniversary and we were lucky enough to be upgraded to two excellent suites. Both rooms were outstandingly comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and the attention received and input given from all the staff we encountered, without exception, was highly personalised, polite and professional. One of the best hotels I have stayed in, without doubt.
Great hotel with wonderful staff

If you are enjoying all the excitement in Rome, it’s great to return to a wonderful hotel with such a welcoming staff. The people at the reception desk let you know that you are on a luxury vacation from the moment you arrive. After our hectic trip, we were greeted with warm smiles, and a cold glass of Prosecco . Also, I I cannot say enough about the staff at breakfast. There was a Ukrainian woman with blonde hair, her name escapes me. She took care of us at breakfast every day . She could not make us feel more welcome as she served us the most delicious breakfast I had ever had in my life. She always greeted us with her warm smile and help us start our morning in such a nice way. On our day of departure, the front desk informed us that there was a train strike. They quickly helped us make plane reservations to Milan so we could meet up with our departing flight back to the U.S. The rooms are modern, beautiful, and quiet. I would highly recommend this beautiful and accommodating hotel.
Experience of a lifetime ! First Roma Dolce offered us to quote Will Guidara "Unreasonable Hospitality". Favoloso!

Starting three months before we arrived our guest experience was special . Dana our concierge along with no less than 6 other front office/reception team mates made every minute of our upcoming trip to Roma special ! We chose this hotel over dozens of other great old Rome Center hotels based on reviews. My wife and I are huge hospitality people who have hosted many things from 2 to 1000 people at a time. To be on the receiving end of the best hospitality we have ever seen anywhere was special. I wanted this trip to be very special for my wife. I never expected the response I received after just emailing a few simple questions. Over the next three months Dana literally built us a full schedule that had an incredible experience each day but also had plenty of room to breath or explore for the unexpected and wonderful surprises that Roma offers. Rich history, the Vatican, St. Peters, dozens of other incredible churches with so many great artists like Michelangelo and more. The suggestions for experiencing Roman food and more were always incredible ! As you can see from our pictures the experiences with breakfast and more at First Roma Dolce were fantastic and that is how we started each day. The staff throughout the hotel from Front Door, to room attendants and more was first class. If we are fortunate someday and can return to Roma this will be our home and base of operations for hopefully more friends and family. Great train service just minutes from the hotel connects you to anywhere in Italy for day trips or a two day trip then return. Dana and the team excel at making your stay memorable beyond your expectations. The Pavilions Hotels , their owners, their teams , their mission is something you should experience !
