The hotel is in a lovely location overlooking Rome, although not the easiest to find, particularly in the dark. The rooms need serious redecoration but are spacious and offer a great view. The service was a mix of slow check-out but friendly and helpful staff, with Flavia going above and beyond during our breakfast. The dining experience was good with plenty of choices, though coffee standards were not four-star. The hotel offers easy access to the center of Rome from Frascati. The facilities were decent, but attention is needed in maintaining cleanliness and presentation.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were nice as we had a group room with a view on two sides, but the size was a bit too small for my liking. The service, despite some hiccups like not explaining the facilities during check-in and having a slow check-out process, overall was helpful and professional. The location, surrounded by beautiful gardens with a view over Rome, was lovely, even though the interaction with the staff was not always friendly. The dining experience was not up to par, especially for someone with dietary restrictions, and the facilities were decent.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and cozy rooms, but the lack of air conditioning was a downside. The service was overall good, despite a minor incident. The location offers a beautiful view over the city but is a bit remote. The dining experience was mixed, with a good variety but concerns about freshness. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel sits atop a hill with breathtaking views of Frascati and Rome, set in well-kept gardens. The rooms are somewhat old-fashioned with a layout providing a wonderful view, but a 'bad smell' issue was quickly addressed with an alternative junior suite arrangement. The dining options were standard, lacking healthy and vegetarian choices, and the service, while well-dressed, could have been more welcoming.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a fold-out sofa ideal for families, but the beds are uncomfortable. While the rooms are basic and mainly suitable for sleeping and washing, the shower is barely fitting. The service is professional, warm, and friendly, although some areas need attention. The location, on a hilltop overlooking the southeast side of Rome in a historic palace in a forest out of Frascati, is beautiful but challenging to find in the dark. The dining offers a basic continental experience with a variety of delicious options. Overall, a decent choice with some limitations.
