Lovely Oasis in the city, some maintenance issues
Tue Jul 22 2025 12:14:29 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by wham0405
Lovely stylish Hotel with a beautiful garden and pool area, perfect for the hot weather when we stayed. Staff are professional and helpful. Below expectations for a five star hotel and some areas which were important to us – firstly the junior suite with lounge area was a bedroom with a sofa in the hall opposite the bathroom – not really a lounge area. The extra bed was on an angle and collapsed and Hotel wanted to charge us for this. Aircon was key on a 35° weekend – the room had two units – one in the bedroom was the most important but didn’t work, 27° on the remote temperature it was very hot to sleep – they gave us a fan but did not fix the air-conditioner - They told us it was a blank conditioner, wasn’t meant to work and the room was fine. After I mentioned the remote control it was removed when we were out.We booked direct to take advantage of the complementary drink and bottle of Prosecco on arrival, early check-in and late checkout however none of those were offered and in the end, we had to ask. There were a few maintenance issues as well – toilet was loose and moved, toilet roll holder was coming off the wall, showerhead was leaking down the handle and wouldn’t stay in place so we had to hold it, sink plug didn’t work. We did notify the maintenance issues to be fixed when we left. Overall, it was still a lovely day, but just below Par for a five star cost and expected experience.
Family holiday in Rome

Our experience was somewhat disappointing for a three day visit to Rome ending out a trip to Italy. Pros: - good location near the Piazza Del Poppolo with good shopping and easy walk to the Spanish steps and other main sites -service was good across the board from check in to the wait staff and porters -pool- but NOT for families with younger children - large and beautiful bathroom which is rare in Rome Cons: - The AC was not working and after walking around in the heat all day in Rome, the last thing you want is a room that is hot. We asked them to look at the unit but they couldn’t have it serviced until the next day. They gave us a fan to help with sleeping and we didn’t want to deal with changing hotels since we were in the city for such a short amount of time. They did offer to change rooms but we were out all day and also didn’t want to deal with the hassle. -continental breakfast is included but it was really sparse. - the pool was small and not for families. If you have older children that just want to cool off it’s fine but it’s more of an adult atmosphere so keep that in mind if you’re traveling with kids.
Beautiful hotel

A really beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. The staff were lovely and we absolutely enjoyed our weekend there. Breakfast was wonderful, especially eating outside in the sunshine. Our room was great and the staff were very helpful with all of our many enquiries.

We were here for a Welcome party with our friends the night before a Wedding and to say it was beautiful is an understatement. Food was amazing. Loved the decor; atmosphere A+; the grounds were beautiful and surrounded by other beautiful architecture.
A most enjoyable four-night stay

Reading the reviews below, I guess selecting your room is pretty critical to the assessment of your stay at Palazzo Dama. We had room 208 (the two windows on the upper left of the photo above), a junior suite, and couldn't have had a more enjoyable stay. The traffic noise was a bit of an issue, but that's not the hotel's fault. Our room was spacious and comfortable, the lobby, restaurant and pool area were beautiful and relaxing. The service was great, and the concierge staff very helpful and welcoming. And the location is perfect for walking all around Rome. Highly recommended!
