Starhotels Michelangelo Rome

The hotel and its location are both excellent. However, I experienced some inconvenience during my stay. Due to a leak, I was asked to move to another room in the middle of the day, which I understood, but the process took up a significant part of my day with packing and unpacking. Unfortunately, no upgrade or compensation was offered for the disruption, and I ended up on a different floor from my family, which was disappointing. Additionally, I was surprised to see a tip of nearly 200 euros added to my bill at checkout. Given the already high room rate and city tax, I believe tipping should remain optional and at the guest’s discretion—not added in a way that feels pressured.

The hotel itself was very decorated and had quality materials throughout. The restaurant and breakfast buffet were great. We also liked being so close to the St. Peter's Square.

The property was lovely and clean and rooms spacious. The staff were very friendly and most helpful as required. The only issue we felt was the restaurant food (particularly breakfast) had very limited options, particularly for the hot food of which needs improvement. Even the food we had for dinner was quite “bland” in taste if compared to the many local restaurants in the area. All else was fine.

The bar/lounge was nice, bartender friendly and quality drinks. Rooms were nice and a good size especially for Italy/Europe. Front desk staff is super -- friendly, willing to help and responsive. Location is perfect, just a short walk to the Vatican down a nice, safe street with other restaurants along the route. Looks like there are a good mix of tourists and folks on business travel. When we return to Rome, we'll stay here again.

The location was right next to the Vatican. Walking distance to many major points of interest. The breakfast was good and plentiful. The dinners that were included in my tour were not so great, especially when the food in Rome was fantastic everywhere else
