Hotel Del Corso

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel Del Corso? The sound. I mean, you’re literally on one of Rome’s main shopping streets – Via del Corso – so there’s this constant hum of life that somehow manages to be energizing rather than annoying. The hotel sits right in the thick of things, maybe a three-minute walk from the Spanish Steps (honestly, you can see tourists with their gelato heading that direction from the front entrance). The building itself has that classic Roman feel – nothing too fancy, but solid in the way Italian places tend to be. Check-in was straightforward, though the lobby’s pretty compact. The staff actually seemed to know the neighborhood well, which I appreciated when I asked about where to grab coffee that wasn’t a tourist trap.

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 3-star – clean, functional, with enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The beds were surprisingly comfortable, and the bathrooms had been updated recently (thank goodness, because some Rome hotels still have fixtures from the 1970s). What I really liked was how quiet it got at night. I was worried about street noise, but the windows do their job, and Via del Corso actually calms down after the shops close. The AC worked well too, which – if you’ve been to Rome in summer – you know is not something to take for granted. One small thing that bugged me: the WiFi was a bit spotty on the upper floors, though it was fine in the lobby and lower rooms.

Here’s the thing about the location though – it’s actually perfect if you want to feel like you’re in the heart of Rome without paying Spanish Steps prices. You’re walking distance from Piazza Venezia (where all the bus tours start, so you know you’re centrally located), and the Pantheon is maybe a 10-minute stroll through some gorgeous side streets. Plus, there’s this little alimentari around the corner where you can grab supplies, and the metro stop at Spagna is close enough when your feet give out from all the cobblestones. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant, but honestly, why would you eat hotel food when you’ve got about fifty authentic places within a two-block radius? I ended up loving this spot because it felt like I was staying in a real neighborhood rather than a tourist bubble, even though I was right in the middle of everything. For the price point and the location, it’s a solid choice – especially if you’re the type who spends most of your time exploring rather than lounging in your room.

• A stay in Rome… – Marcelo from Saudi Arabia – 2 August 2024 (8/10)

  The location of this hotel is just fantastic, being right in the middle of Rome, close to metro station, easy walking access to many shops and restaurants and many more. The hotel itself is at an old building but rooms and bathroom were very good for us and everything went very smooth. Employees were all very attentive, giving us their best whenever we asked for information or something. We liked it so much that a week later, after returning from Sorrento, we stayed there again for our last night before flying out.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike in this hotel.
