Hotel Dei Consoli is within a short walk to
both the Vatican museums as well as a metro station, but a bit far from most other sights. The upper-middle-range hotel has 28 classic
rooms with minibars, free Wi-Fi, and bathrooms with generous amenity kits; note that some rooms have small, stand-up showers and no tubs. There’s no full restaurant on-site,
but a free breakfast that includes bacon and eggs is provided. The hotel has a gorgeous terrace where guests can enjoy
breakfast in the morning or have a cocktail in the evening. The hotel’s annex
building is a five-minute walk away and doesn’t have its own reception or breakfast service, which can prove a hassle. Guests seeking a location in the city center may want to compare rates with Hotel Britannia, an upscale hotel near the Opera house with an impressive breakfast buffet.

Scene
Clasically decorated, family-owned hotel with beautiful roof terrace
The Hotel Dei
Consoli is located in a peachy, wedge-shaped, corner building that dates to the 19th century, which it shares with some small shops that are on the street level.
Inside, the family-owned hotel has a pretty, classic feel with heavy wooden furnishings,
painted glass windows, and large paintings. The lobby has a small, curved bar
with a big espresso machine in a lovely space with a small, vaulted ceiling.
Breakfast is served on the roof terrace offering panoramic views and colorful
tables painted by ceramics artists of Deruta in Umbria. Just outside, olive,
orange, and mandarin trees as well as flowers decorate the surrounding space
and provide a beautiful spot for guests to enjoy their breakfast alfresco or
have an evening cocktail. Most guests are couples, as the setting here is decidedly romantic, though a smaller number of families and business travelers also come through the hotel.
Location
Near the Vatican and walking distance to Piazza Navona; most other sights require a metro or taxi ride
The hotel is located
in the Prati neighborhood Rome with pizza shops, gelaterias, shops, and cafes within a few minutes' walk. It's known as a shopping hub in the city, with many designer stores in the surrounds, and the Ottaviano metro station is a five-minute walk. It’s a 10-minute walk to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica, with the stunning entrance to Vatican City about 10 more minutes beyond. The Castel Sant'Angelo is a 10-minute walk, and the Piazza Navona can be reached in under 20 minutes on foot. Most other popular sights are a bit far to walk to; it’s around a 15-minute drive to the Colosseum or Trevi Fountain. Ciampino Airport
and Leonardo da Vinci Airport are both around a half-hour drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Classic rooms with minibars, TVs, and free Wi-Fi
Rooms at Hotel Dei Consoli are classically decorated and formal with subtly patterned wallpaper and floral carpeting, along with elegant decor touches like decorative crown molding, hard-wood furnishings, silk bedding, and floor-length drapes. Some rooms have odd angles, and the Standard Rooms are on the small side. All rooms have minibars,
TVs with satellite channels, and free Wi-Fi. The Standard bathroom we saw only had a
small, stand-up shower, but bathrobes, slippers, and generous amenity kits are
provided -- including toothbrushes. Deluxe Rooms have hydromassage tubs, and the two Junior Suites have hydromassage whirlpool tubs.
Features
Free breakfast buffet, beautiful terrace, and lobby bar
Breakfast is included in room rates and comes with the
standard fare for the area: pastries, cold cuts, and cheese, with the addition of
bacon and eggs. Breakfast is included in room rates
for the Dependance, the annex hotel, but guests must walk over to Hotel Dei Consoli for it. The hotel has a small lobby bar and a beautiful
rooftop terrace. Small pets are allowed at the annex hotel. Honeymoon
packages are available complete with roses, champagne, and strawberries -- but only
with certificate of marriage.
