I liked it because there was an in person reception, lift, great internet access, near Roma Termini, free luggage storage because we came earlier. A beautiful roof top on the 5th floor overlooking the Santa Maria Mediogore basilica and sunset. Breakfast was included and it's in the rooftop, so relaxing and beautiful lots of food selection. Definetely coming back to Mecenate Palace Hotel. Highly recommended.

19 years ago we stayed at the Mecenate Palace Hotel and coming back was even better. The Rooftop Restaurant addition was great and Bar was wonderful as it was all those years ago. The improved elevator was so good and the gentlemen at the desk were so helpful and nice, another impressive improvement!!!
If I made another trip to Rome I would stay at this Hotel again. Thank You , Victoria & Richard Wilson
