We stayed in this hotel for five nights and enjoyed our stay here. Why? + Fantastic location (& safe neighbourhood): close to all the main attractions in Rome. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the Spanish steps & Vatican City. 10-15 minute walk to the Pantheon & Trevi Fountain. + Helpfull staff: gave us some great tips during our visit.... More

The hotel was located in a very convenient location for us since our main point of interest was the Vatican, about 15 minutes on foot. The lobby is very small. The reception spoke English well and responded to our requests well. Our room was very nice as the window opened out to the inner courtyard. There were good bathroom amenities... More

Have just returned from a wonderful week in Rome. The Diplomatic Hotel was in an ideal location for us. It is very near the Vatican which we visited regularly. Close to the Vatican you will find the hop on hop off busses so after an exhausting day sight seeing you don't have too far to walk to get back to... More

The Diplomatic is a good hotel with a nice location. The Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo, the Vatican are all within walking distance with the Colosseum and Fori Imperiali a little further away. The rooms were nice and clean, nothing too luxurious but very good basic level. The breakfast was ok. There's no restaurant in the hotel... More

Great value hotel in a great central location. OK the decor may be a little dated and the rooms are not large but who is spending much time in their hotel when in Rome? Very centrally located within short walks from the Vatican, the Tiber and Colosseum/Forum etc. Also, very handy if you use the SITBusshuttle to/from the airport and... More
