The First Dolce - Preferred Hotels & Resorts

The hotel is in an old style building in a quiet side street close to the centre of Old Rome. If visiting for the sights most of what you need or may want to see is within a 5 to 30 minute stroll through the wonderful centre. We had a suite, close to the rooftop terraced bar/ restaurant on the top floor, which was spacious and comfortable with a large marble bathroom. There was some background noise from the restaurant late on Saturday night but not intrusive. The staff were very helpful overall, and we were made to feel welcome. When asked, we mentioned the noise on Saturday, and they were upset we hadn't mentioned at the time which they would have rectified, so fair enough. Ate in the rooftop restaurant on the first night. Superb food, great service, and what a location. Like most quality capital city central hotels, anywhere in Europe it's not cheap but it met expectations, and we would stay again.

Newly appointed Michelin Star downstairs restaurant closed Sunday Monday Tuesday not just Sunday as mentioned on their site.

Great location, professional and helpful staff, nice, stylishly decorated and clean junior suite.

Housekeeping staff were unable to clean the room one day because hotel was full and short staffed. Room service offerings limited and mediocre for a 5 star hotel. In first room we were awakened by construction noise at 6:52AM. Upon arrival, nobody at the front desk mentioned the possible inconvenience and the next morning, the bell boy seemed bothered to have to show us another room (seemed like he was paying for the room and we were ungrateful).

This is the second time that we have used this amazing boutique hotel as our “hub” while traveling across Italy. It is ideally located - just a few minutes from Spanish Steps and Trevor Fountain, Convenient to walk to all designer stores during the day, and head back for some rest, before going out for dinner. The Michelin Star restaurant is amazing. But we found the rooftop bar and restaurant even more spectacular - great food, great views of at least 11 Duomos, and great service. Especially want to thank the staff for their “service with a smile” - Natalya and Jubair for all the arrangements. Alessio and Julio for the amazing drinks and food, and Ronaldo the bell man for his helpfulness. Thank You. We will be back.

Some rooms may need a bit of an update.

It was not easy to find a good hotel with parking in the center of Rome, which would be located next to green areas where you can walk your dog. I am very glad that in the end we found such a hotel. Everything was at a good level. Valet Parking, responsive staff, comfortable beds, compliments from the hotel. Excellent location.

I would like to be able to get a more varied and substantial breakfast for the price that the hotel asks. As a result, we went to the hotel for breakfast only once.

the staff are amazing!

the property might need a little maintenance in the rooms (e.g., cracks in wall, power outlet exposed, .. etc)

everything, especially how professional is the all of the hotel employee, they are vey helpful and knowledgeable

there is nothing we don’t like

The personnel of the hotel was so attentive. Flavio greeted us and helped with all kinds of advice. The welcome Prosecco was very delicious. We got upgraded and stayed at a Suite. Very spacious, with two bathrooms, with a large changing room. Unfortunately the roof bar was closed, we couldn’t enjoy the panoramic view. Anyway, There are lots of nice restaurants in the area, or you can take a taxi to Trastevere with all it’s cosy places.

The bed was nice and large but a bit too hard for us.

One of the few times everything was just right. The location is fantastic, right in the middle of the action, yet quiet (it's a small side street), the staff thru out the hotel is extremely friendly and helpful, we even got an upgrade (thank you for that), room itself was really nice, spacious, separate sitting area, espresso machine, etc. Ate breakfast on the last day on the rooftop and was great too. They also feature a Michelin star dinner restaurant which is amazing and a rooftop terrace where you can have lunch (great as well) or drinks. Would love to visit the hotel again and cannot recommend it enough!

Nothing bad to report

Breakfest an evening drink at the roof top was excellent

excellent location. very clean . staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. we arrived early but we’re able to go to our room we were also given a free upgrade which was amazing.

There wasn’t anything to fault about the property from our point of view.
