Residenza Ruspoli Bonaparte

Like staying in a museum! Bear in mind the palace building is close to 300 years old and not perfect in fit and finish but that does not take away from the grandness and opulence of the palace. Impressive to say the least. My suggestion is however - buy some better quality toilet paper. Other amenities were high quality though - nice linens, pillows, etc.

UN SOGGIORNO INDIMENTICABILE NEL CUORE DI ROMA. LE STANZE SONO TUTTE ELEGANTISSIME E FORNITE DI TUTTI I COMFORT, L’ACCOGLIENZA E CALOROSA E DISCRETA, HO AVUTO IL PIACERE DI SOGGIORNARE IN UNA SPLENDIDA SUITE CHE MI HA LASCIATO DAVVERO SENZA PAROLE PER BELLEZZA ED ELEGANZA. SOGGIORNARE NELLA PACE DI UNO DEI PALAZZI PIÙ BELLI DI ROMA L’HO TROVATA UN’OTTIMA ALTERNATIVA AGLI HOTEL CINQUE STELLE DEL CENTRO STORICO. LO CONSIGLIO VIVAMENTE E SPERO DI TORNARCI PRESTO.

This property is seriously misrepresented on the *********** site. The Princess Pia suite does not have 2 en suite bedrooms, no additional bathroom, no fireplace and no safe. The 2nd bedroom is basically a collapsed couch in the sitting area. The photos are a con - the room is accessed off the main staircase and up a ridiculously steep flight of stairs - converted servants quarters. Lift was broken (102 stairs) and there was no hot water on 2 mornings. Incredibly rude property owner (Maria). Was refused a refund for the unused nights after she agreed to do so, then reneged (she agreed to refund if *********** could point out where she had misrepresented the property. Which they did !). I feel defrauded !

For a unique experience in the heart of Rome stay in the Regina Hortensia suite at Residenza Ruspoli Bonaparte. History abounds as you walk up the incredible marble staircase - or take the beautiful wood panelled elevator. A palatial suite sumptuously furnished and a Super king size bed await you. Plan your day from the comfort of your suite. Gusto coffee machine and tea provided as well as a very useful fridge. The whole experience feels as if you have been invited to stay for a gloriously romantic private ‘Vacanze Romane’. Situated just a stone’s throw from the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, put on your walking shoes and enjoy the beauty of the Eternal City! Adiamo!

The hotel/apartment was very beautiful, very large spacious rooms. The bathroom shower was on the small side for a normal size adult. There is no air conditioning in the bathroom and in the hallway preceding the apartment which was a bummer since we were in a heatwave during July. But the room's AC worked fabulously, so we slept very well. On the service front, it was a little lacking. Not a full service hotel by any means, run by a couple folks and we didn't get asked if we wanted breakfast (extra charge) or anything. There were really no amenities on top of the room itself. The location is great, right in the heart of Rome's shopping district and a short walk to Trevi Fountain and many other sites. You walk outside and Fendi is right in front of you. If you are looking for large rooms, without the extra frills of a hotel experience this is the place.

This is an incredible location, a short walk to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Borghese Gardens, great food and shopping, beautiful area. The staff is responsive when messaged, but they really stay out of the way otherwise. If you’re looking for a traditional hotel with amenities, this is not it. But very comfortable and beautiful

Stayed in Queen Hortense suite. Was clean, grand and old as others have detailed well, with updated bathroom. Staff helpful with very kind demeanor. I can't give 10/10 due to inadequate A/C. There is a wall unit in the back room that works great for in there but does little for the large, main room. Laying there in bed on top of the covers sweating thinking how much was spent per night rapidly diminishes this suite's charm. Inexcusable really for the cost. I understand it's old (part of why it was selected) and maybe only so much can be done, but a floor unit, or even a fan to circulate the dead air would be helpful. Otherwise, a lovely property.

We just returned from a European family trip with our two teenagers. Our last stop/stay was Residenza Ruspoli Bonaparte and it was simply a historic pleasure! We arrived outside of the check-in window and attempted to alert the property via email/messages prior to our arrival but somehow those didn't work. After a quick phone call, we were connected with the property's reception and able to get checked in. We stayed in the Princess Pia Suite. Our teens slept in a daybed with a pull out trundle while we slept in a king. Air conditioning worked very well, property was very quiet, plenty of towels, mini fridge, Nespresso coffee, bathroom supplies, storage for bags and beautiful views of a courtyard below. Nearby church bells rang on Sunday every hour and the location is right near Spanish Steps, Metro stops, wonderful dining and upscale shopping. Walking along the timeless halls, courtyard and stairs made us feel like we were somehow transported. We enjoyed our unique ride in the petite and reliable elevator lift and our hidden suite door was like a secret passageway! It was surreal and special. So was our meeting of Princess Maria Pia who showed us some of the additional palace rooms and shared the history of the building and it's former inhabitants. We'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. Our family was game for an adventurous lodging and it was unique and special.

We slept in a museum!! The furnishings, art and lighting were amazing from the 1500-1700’s while the amenities and service were modern day. We had a private tour of the museum rooms by a family member, a direct descendant of Ruspoli himself. Amazing hospitality in historic surroundings. What a stay!!
