Hotel Portoghesi Reviews 

We were very disappointed with the air conditioning which was not working on the very hot night when we arrived which could not be resolved until the next day. This resulted in a very bad night sleep which left us very tired for our first of two days in Rome. After the unit was fixed there was still very little airflow from the unit. We were very happy with everything else

Beautiful hotel! Loved the breakfast! Great staff!

Nice atmosphere, very nice and helpfull staff both in the reception and in the breakfast-room, clean and fine bathroom … and of course a superb location.

Our ONLY issue was the hot water was not working our first night. It was a Saturday night, and the front desk help could not fix the problem.

We stayed in rome for three nights at Hotel Portoghesi and really enjoyed our stay. The location was tucked away on a quiet street that was within walking distance of major attractions in Rome. The room was nice, the staff was very nice, and the rooftop breakfast was wonderful. I would highly recommend staying at Hotel Portoghesi for your visit to Rome!

The sympathy from everyone, the perfect location to go everywhere walking...perfect choice. Thank you!

The room was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood. Breakfast was also delightful! We greatly appreciated the assistance in arranging airport transportation with our luggage. We would recommend Portoghesi to anyone staying in Rome. Thank you for making our stay in Rome comfortable!

Every single staff member we met was phenomenal! They bent over backwards to fulfill every request, no matter how big or small. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good. The location was great. The elevator and A/C worked. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 was the poor water pressure. But I'd highly recommend the Hotel Portoghesi to friends.

Overall we thought the location was great and the rooms were good size with large bathrooms. Breakfast was excellent as well.

Our number one complaint was the inadequate AC. After walking miles in a hot Rome we wanted to come back to a cool room but were unable to cool it adequately.
We went to the front desk twice to see if they could help and one person started at us and offered no help and the other said that we had just entered the room and the room would cool down which was not true, ,We have been there hours . He later said that he would find someone to look at the AC but it never happened.
We purchased hand fans to try and cool the room. Our second room with other family members room was cooler .
We understand that Europe is not as equipped to handle heat and AC but we expected better and the staff did little to help the4 situation.

This was our 2nd year staying at Hotel Portoghesi. You can't beat the location and the hotel staff has always been very friendly and helpful!

Travelling as a single person taking a weeklong Italian language course at a nearby school, I was absolutely happy with my stay at Hotel Portoghesi. Even though located in the city center, my room was quiet and had AC, so the nights were very comfortable. Good mattress too! 😉 The bathroom was spacious and obviously newly renovated.
Besides the breakfast on the roof terrace was really good and the staff friendly and always helpful.
I can only recommend this hotel because it’s perfect you want to explore the city on foot! 👍

Had a great stay at Hotel Portoghesi in Rome! The staff at the desk were very helpful, especially when the hot water didn't work in our room (it was fixed promptly!). Their breakfast was excellent with so many options. I especially appreciated the coffee (the woman there made my a blend of Italian/American which was outstanding!).

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff.

Kind staff and great hotel in a central historic location. Our room was clean and quiet and the breakfast was a great option ahead of a busy day! would stay again!

Adored my stay at the Portoghesi. I was here for four nights in June of 2024 as a solo female traveler. Super great location, very friendly staff, great breakfast, clean, and the charm/feel of a family hotel. Will absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Rome.

Oh! Also, incredible service in that my room was ready HOURS early which is a godsend when you've gotten off an overnight flight from the US.

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Portoghesi. I have stayed here before and will stay again - such a lovely property with friendly staff, a great location, and a really great breakfast.

The hotel staff were personable and very efficient. The breakfast was spectacular and the hostess a pleasure.

We have stayed at Portoghese at least 5 times and recommended the hotel to friends and family. We reserved 6 mo ago a junior suite and on arrival were given a small, dark, musty, too warm room that was as depressing as it was disappointing. We were told no other was available. The room was uncomfortably warm without the option to lower the temperature ourselves. We will not be back. We enjoyed far superior accommodations at a lower room rate at the Palace Colonna Hotel where we look forward to staying on future visits.

Love the rooftop, breakfast and friendly staff. Rooms could use a bit of freshening: new coat of paint and a bit better lighting.

Easy check-in, helpful concierge, lovely rooftop breakfast.
