We have just had (Nov ’24) a wonderful week’s stay at the Hotel Cellini. It’s a peaceful and happy place to start each day from and return to. The location is very good for a 20-30 minute walk to lots of the attractions in the city, and the easy availability of taxis means you don’t need to walk back at the end of a long day out. The hotel provides an excellent breakfast with pastries, cold meats, cereal, cheese etc, although nothing cooked. As there is no kitchen, they don’t do evening meals but there are good places to eat very close by, such as Target a few paces away at the corner.
The thing that really struck us was the delightful way that a former elegant apartment has been converted into a hotel. Every detail has been attended to from the subtle difference in the paint shades to the beautifully designed and cut marble floor. This all contributes to the feeling of peace and calm.
The staff seem genuinely happy to be working at the Hotel Cellini and there is a real family feeling. Gaetano and Donato, the brothers who have created the hotel with such care, are often present, and have a wealth of information about Rome and what there is to see and do.
This is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in and we recommend it highly. We wish Gaetano and Donato and all the staff well for Rome’s jubilee year in 2025, and thank them all warmly for our wonderful stay.
