| Hotel itself was very nice. Room was large, clean and modern. In a more quiet part of town. Not much shopping or dining around. Hotel management and staff however could use some help. Our mini bar was half-empty when we arrived and during our 4 day stay, was never filled. We asked for a voltage adapter on our first night and were given one that was broken. When we asked for a replacement, the hotel advised that there were no more. It was only after asking for the manager that one miraculously appeared. All in all, the stay was pleasant despite the staff at the hotel. |

| Very nice surprise for Rome - modern, efficient hotel with style and not run by the usual grumpy old men you find in some Roman hotels. Location excellent though a bit noisy. Recommend 5th floor rooms as they have balconies. Value OK for Rome, though not cheap. Excellent service |

| We cannot speak highly enough about the Forty Seven Hotel Rome. The postion is fantastic - just around the corner from the major sites. The service was extremely good with quick, cheerful responses. We managed to get an upgrade on a last-minute deal and we had a lovely room, with a balcony and an amazing view. It is not a cheap hotel, but you can make it one of the special stays on your holiday. The bed was excellent, as were the room facilities and internet connection. |

| I went to Rome with my boyfriend for a romantic weekend to celebrate my birthday. We were surprised with a birthday cake at the room at our arrival, a very nice touch. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious yet it was a bit noisy at night as we had a room facing the main street. The only thing really, really bad was breakfast time because they have few tables for the number of rooms and there were times when 2 or 3 couples had to wait some time for a table, something not expected in a 4 star hotel, charging the prices they do. Be carefull with a blond waitress at breakfast, she can be very rude. Overall we had a great time and we would return to the Forty Seven Hotel Rome but we thought it was a bit over priced. |

| The Forty Seven Hotel Rome is a real find. Its clean, quiet, modern, serves good food and is on busy bus routes to everywhere in Rome. Its not in the shopping district, but its close to many tourist sights and to Trastevere which is full of bars and restaurants. Concierge recommended excellent places to eat. Highly recommended. |

| We stayed 4 nights at the Fortyseven. The location is great, you can reach all of Rome by foot, even the Vaticane. The people were very friendly, the breakfast was rich and fresh. Of course, with a lot of traffic around the house, is was not exactly quiet, but you shouldn't expect that anywhere in Rome. We would definitely go there again. |

| Not only did the hotel not tell me about the taxi strike that was going on during my visit - all the directions they gave me to get to the hotel via bus, were so wrong I ended up getting lost. Also - they promised a private car was available for use while we were there just for an overnight stay - and they only came thru for us when my fiance went to the front desk and threatened them. The conceirge promised a car and then when I called down to see if they were there to pick us up, was informed no car now. Completely incompetent when it came to dealing with the taxi strike and getting someone around. Felt like I was not important and that there own personal priorities outweighed my simple one of how to get around. Especially when you are paying $300 a night - outrageous and would not happen int the United States. |

| Great hotel, clean and simple rooms, fantastic roof terrace bar (if a little pricey). Take time to check out Trastevere just over the nearby bridge. Great bars and restaurants |

| Very elegant and good located hotel. The Employees are competent and very helpful. Rooms have style, are well-maintained and double glazing assures a good isolation from noise. Nice roof garden/bar. An oasi in the heart of Rome. |

| This is an absolutely fantastic hotel. Gorgeous rooms, very chic with huge bathrooms (so rare in Rome) and wooden floors and gigantic beds. The staff could not have been more helpful, and its location was perfect for sight seeing, and eating out. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to everyone. |

| The Forty Seven is near the Rome ruins in a busy part of town. Location is great if you are use to heavy city traffic and subsequent noise. We walked to all the sites from this location (we are avid walkers). It is a couple blocks from the Tiber River as well. Front desk as well as housekeeping employees were great and they upgraded us to a suite-type room upon our return night after going to Florence and Venice. Breakfasts were outstanding in terms of choice and quality. We will go here again. |

| The Forty Seven Hotel Rome is modern but personal. After long days walking and touring, it was a pleasure to come back to this hotel: it was welcoming, easy to be in, comfortable. The staff is excellent, ready to help or answer any question. I'd gladly go back on my next trip, in fact, it would be my first choice. |

| This is a hip, modern hotel in a good location, close to the Forum and an easy walk to Trastevere. 47 has spacious, comfortable rooms and some of the nicest bathrooms I've found in any Italian hotel. I had to leave at 4am to catch an early flight so I can not comment on the breakfast. The rooftop bar, however, is great. Yes, the drinks are expensive, but given the view and the setting, it was well worth it. While my room got only a bit of noise from traffic on the Lungotevere, there seemed to be quite a few other guests up and making noise for most of the night. When in Rome... |

| OK...nothing special except the location is great. Very loud place if your room faces street. Staff is fine but breakfast is well below average. Relatively new, hi tech hotel but already a little run down. |
