The Hotel Hassler

Executive summary by darmansjah

This hotel was newly renovated when we stayed. It had a stocked mini bar that was not an additional charge to use! I know it's included in the price, but it's nice to have a cold beer waiting when you get to the room. The rooms are gorgeous, clean and new. The staff was welcoming and speak perfect english...at least the ones I came in contact with did. I felt comfortable and no overly crowded.

Just completed a 9 day stay at Barocco. Great location in central Rome. Walking distance to major tourist attractions, good restaurants and across the street from the Metro and active taxi stand. Room was a superior double. Adequate size and spacious new bathrooms (after a few stays in Italy, one has to be realistic about the size of Italian hotel rooms). Very nice shower. Bed was near end of useful life but ok and after long days of touring, we could have slept on anything. Room was quiet--windows are new and soundproof. Air conditioner was not powerful and was a bit noisy at first but once adjusted by staff, it met our needs during a severe heat wave. Very dependable (free) wi-fi. Also, noteworthy is that Barooco has reduced rates for rooms for single occupants which significantly reduced the cost for our party of three adults. As noted by other reviewers, the breakfast is excellent--great omelets.

What distinguishes Barooco is the outstanding service, be it the front desk service, room service, bar service or breakfast service. The management of this hotel has hired and trained a staff that is the friendliest and most capable that we have ever encountered anywhere including some of the best 5 star hotels in the world. Often, they anticipated our needs and every request was expediently handled with a smile and additional helpful suggestions. The thoughtfulness of the staff alone made this trip to Rome memorable. Restaurant recommendations were very good.

If you have any qualms about the service or the room, ask the staff for help. Your issues will be resolved to your satisfaction.
