25-6-2009 i would recomend this hotel for a short break only, even though we had a upgrade room, i felt it wasn't worth the extra money, as the room still tiny, also the rooftop is only open in the summer, which i was not aware of, and this is what made it look great. i was disapointed, and felt the staff were not very helpful in giving you direction to places, and i spoke the language.

25-6-2009 Hotel was in the BEST location - 1 block behind Pantheon. Walking distance to everything. The area is basically all pedestrian and very lively and safe at night. I was there with my kids, aged 4 and 11 - and felt safe

Staff all spoke some English - they were very helpful - from the chambermaid who helped when my son locked his key in a drawer - to the concierge who ordered taxis for us.
Only flaw was that the maids forgot to clean our room one day - but that was fixed with a quick phone call.

25-6-2009 I would recommend this hotel to anyone - Immaculately clean, helpful staff and the MOST central location in Rome!
It was 1 block behind the Pantheon. Walking distance to everything. The area is basically all pedestrian and very lively and safe. I was there with my kids, aged 4 and 11 - and felt safe. Staff all spoke English and were very helpful. They had an excellent hot breakfast.

25-6-2009 We have been several times in the Minerva and hope to come soo again because all the people there are very friendly
