Great Hotel

My wife and I stayed as the Mecenate Palace for five nights (Dec. 30-Jan 3, 2009). We were thrilled with the room. It was elegant. When at first we thought there was some unpainted paneling in the bathroom we looked closer to see it was actually marble. The location across the plaza from the Santa Maria Maggiore (Major) Church was excellent. It gave us easy access via the right side to Via Torino to Via Nazionale or via the left side of the church to Via Cavour and many resturants and trattatorias. It is also close to the train station. The hotel concierge(s) was wonderful. Gave great directions on a map they provided. Set us up with a box breatkfast for the morings we toured the Vatican and Pompeii. Arranged for a trip to Pompeii and again provided a box breakfast delivered to our room at 6 a.m. The roof top restuarant breakfast was very good with good views of Rome and from our room as well.
Overall a very nice hotel. We'd stay there again.

I recently stayed at the Mecenate Palace for 8 nights. The rooms are very nice, not cramped at all. Staff all speak fluent English. The location was nice, very near the train and bus stations. Wi-fi is available for a small fee, and it was a very good fast connection. Most of Rome's biggest attractions are within easy walking distance, although you should have a pocket map with you. You need to cut through a lot of side streets moving from one place to another. I would definitely stay here again.
Mecenate Palace Hotel - We loved this hotel.

As the description states, it is across the street from the St. Maria Maggiore Cathedral. The rooftop terrace is a great way to end the day of seeing the sites of Rome. I cant speak for the rooms in the main part of the building, but the room we had on the side entrance were great. Very modern, they control everything from the main office like the AC. You room is activated when you put your key into the slot on the inside of the door. The turns on the power. The have a nice little surround sound radio system setup in the main room and the bathroom. The bathrooms have great water pressure and they seem to have a softener in the water. The jacuzzi tub is another perfect way to end the day and rest your tired feet. the staff was very friendly and accommodated all of our needs. The overall experience at this hotel far exceeded my expectations. Next time we visit Rome, we will book here again.
Great choice

Upon arrival, the hotel gave us an upgrade with no additional cost. We had a wonderful view of the Church and piazza. The room and service was outstanding as was the breakfast and rooftop dining. Location was a few blocks from train station. The staff spoke fluent english and were more than willing to assist us in any way. From the rooftop we could see the Coloseum and Forum. We were able to walk to all attractions except the Vatican, we took the Metro with a stop on the next block from the Hotel. Tip- stop in at Enjoy Rome, a block from the train station and reserve an english speaking guided tour of the Vatican for 50 Euro. Well worth the money and no waiting in the long lines. I have referred this hotel to some friends traveling to Rome. They will not be disappointed.
NICE HOTEL

We stayed in Rome for 3 days prior to our cruise in June 2008. The staff was very friendly and very willing to help us with booking tours. Breakfast each morning was good and wait staff very friendly! We found some very good places to eat (try Nueva Stella) and the Gelato next door was yummy!! Just be prepared for A LOT of walking!!
