Aleph Boscolo Luxury Hotel Rome

This is our second stay at the Aleph Boscolo. This stay was much better as the front desk was better organized, they provided excellent information about restaurants and sites, and every request was acknowledged and fulfilled. Even though we had a room overlooking the street, the room was quiet and the a/c effective. For a European hotel, the room was a good size and well maintained. The maid service was frequent and very detailed. There are many hotels in Rome. But, if one is looking to stay near the Via Viento, I would have no hesitation to recommend this hotel

To be honest, I was a little wary about staying at the hotel given some of the previous reviews, however, our three nights there were great, and I wouldn't hesitate in going back. The location is great, just a 5 minute walk to the Spanish Steps, and the Barberini metro station is just at the bottom of the road. The staff were friendly, providing information about local attractions. The room itself was beautiful, and clean, just as one would expect from a 5-star establishment. The only two very small negatives about the hotel I'd say was the fact that the jacuzzi bath didn't work properly, and my husband wasn't too happy that the Eurosport channel wasn't working on the TV! The bar prices were very high, but again, only to be expected from a hotel such as that. We went up to the rooftop terrace bar one night for some pre-dinner drinks, just wonderful! As we stayed for 3 nights, we got the third night free, which ensured that the Aleph Boscolo was good value for money.

Very good location close to the metro and aldo walking distance to some nice attractions. The hop on hop off buses stop 2 minutes from the hotel. There is also a spa where you can use the sauna and turkish pool for free, but it needs some maintanance. The hotel was very pricey and it didn't even include breakfast, it was another 25€ extra per person. They charged 10 euro for room service just for one coffee, which made the coffee cost 16 euro, which we thought was rediculous! As most hotels room service is free.

The hotel is very modern and not for everyone. When I arrived the front desk personnel was very friendly and they gave me an excellent room with a terrace. The view was fantastic, so as the comfort of the hotel. However, the day I left the staff was not helpful at all and they were even quite rude. I would strongly recommend the directors to review the personnel staff. Despite that, I would recommend this hotel.

Room is relatively small compared to Boscolo Exedra. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. However, few of them do not speak fluent English. I tried to call the front desk and house keeping for more mouth wash, none of them understand what mouth wash is and just ignore your request. Other than that, the service is decent. Location is very good, just a block away from the Metro Barberini metro station, and walking distance to Piazza Repubblica and Spagna (the shopping area). A great stay.

The location of the hotel is excellent. I have read many bad posts concerning the style and the atmosphere of the hotel, but, from my perspective, i thinks these negative comments are not deserved: the style is special but modern and trendy. Rooms are originally decorated, modern clean and quite large (for Rome standards). That said, the hotel is no five stars (as they claim): our window had view on the A/C engine of the hotel (extremely noisy), the amenties are of poor quality, the SPA/pool are barely clean. These are no real issues but this is not what you would expect from a five stars hotel, especially for the price they are charging for the room. Last but not least, the service is terrible. Here is the best exemple why: Since parking is impossible in Rome, you will certainly leave your car to the hotel concierge. It will cost you EUR 35. Neverthesless, this is not the worst part: I had to wait more than one hour from the moment I asked for my car until I can drive to the airport! Despite this major issue, the staff did not do anything, they charge me for the parking anyway, they did not apologize and, worst of all, did not give us any explanation. In couclusion, the hotel is fine, well-located, but overpricy for what you get (espcially in terms of service). If you can get a special offer: fine. Otherwise, be prepared to be desappointed

Excellent location. It is VERY modern and trendy hotel. So it is a perfect fit if you like the style. The staff are very friendly and somewhat accomodating.

very nice staff and good location near metro station. Free wifi in lobby but you have to pay for Internet connection in the room

Very nice. Clean. Great location. Friendly staff. Very helpful. Rooms are decent size, especially for Rome.

The Boscolo has the most tasteless, over-the-top decor ever. Dark, gloomy reds and blacks, absurd artefacts everywhere, and all with a great air of pretentiousness. But there is no bell hop when you arrive, no wi-fi in the rooms ( and the DSL cable doesn't work), no plug in the bathtub, an absurdly "modern" sink that splashes water, an overhead shower that doesn't work (only a hand-held one with so much pressure that it's like holding a machine gun), no business center... Need I go on? To be avoided!
