Fodor's Expert Review

You can do your sightseeing from the rooftop terrace of the Marcella Royal, a midsize hotel set in a Neo-Renaissance building with the feel of a smaller, more intimate establishment, where staff go the extra mile to make your stay pleasant. Take in the view while you breakfast; the hotel also offers a light dinner service for guests who prefer to stay in for a relaxing evening. Many rooms also have good views, and all are decorated in tasteful color schemes, with floral prints and mirrored walls. The spacious suites are ideal for families. The hotel is 10 minutes from Via Veneto and Termini station. Become a fan of the hotel on Facebook to receive a discount when you book.

Room

Rooms at Marcella Royal are classically furnished and well-stocked with amenities. Similar to the regal theme, expect scarlet or blue carpeting, golden bedspreads and matching wallpaper. Antique prints line the walls. All include a minibar, desk, slippers, safe and satellite TV. Although on the small side, they're comfortable, modern and kept immaculately clean. Superior rooms and up have much more floor space and furniture for lounging. The "Dome View" room has an incredible window looking out onto St. Peter's.

Tip Ask for a room at the front of the hotel to take advantage of the beautiful views.

Bathroom

Bathrooms are compact and modern with marble tiling. There's a hair dryer and small sink with complimentary toiletries from the hotel brand that are well stocked each day. Some also have a heated towel rack. Bathtubs and showers are on the small side.

Lobby

The warm lobby has an old-world feel to it. The giant space is filled with huge fluffy couches in blue, red and gold Baroque prints. High ceiling arches are painted in gold bright lamps and white flowers fill the space. Staff are helpful in arranging tours and itineraries.

Dining

The Sala Panorama, located on the 7th floor provides 360 views of the city. Breakfast is abundant with a well-stocked array of sweet and savory items and is served on the flowering terrace in warmer months. It's also possible to book dinner on the rooftop for a twinkling view of the city.

Drinking

Drinks and snacks are also available throughout the day on the panoramic terrace. Enjoy your own view of St. Peter's Dome up here where sunbeds are also available, weather permitting.
