The 24-room Hotel Ivanhoe
is a mid-range property with a fantastic central location where many top sights are less than a 15-minute walk away. Simple and clean rooms have minibars,
flat-screen TVs with Sky TV, and air-conditioning, and some have coffeemakers.
However, all rooms and basic bathrooms are small, and the shower stalls are tiny.
Additionally, some rooms have loud street noise. Breakfast is included and
receives good reviews, and there's an on-site bar with drinks plus an on-site
cafeteria with snacks. A lovely terrace with bistro tables, umbrellas, and rooftop views is a highlight of the property. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, but there is no business
center, and there's a fee for train station or airport transportation.

Scene
A clean and basic mid-range hotel with a beautiful rooftop terrace
A welcoming, helpful
atmosphere is felt throughout the mid-range Hotel Ivanhoe, which resides in a building
constructed in 1800. The simple and basic lobby has a wood front desk and red tile floors while a small sitting area has white leather chairs and wood wainscoting.
The contemporary but plain breakfast room has lovely wood floors and black
tables and chairs while the small wood bar area has the same red tile floor as the
lobby and black armchairs. A black spiral staircase leads to the wonderful
rooftop terrace, which has metal bistro tables and chairs surrounded by potted plants and umbrellas.
However, some of the furniture in the common areas is worn and
seating is limited throughout. Overall, this is a solid mid-range pick with a warm atmosphere that stands out for its scenic rooftop terrace.
Location
Magnificent central location with many sights less than a 15-minute walk away
The Hotel Ivanhoe is in the
historic district with restaurants, bars, shops, the Church of Santa Maria dei
Monti, and the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore within a five-minute walk.
Quirinale Palace, the Rome Opera, and Santa Prassede are a 10-minute walk away
while the Rome Termini Train Station, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Piazza Venezia,
and public transportation are a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Both the
Leonardo da Vinci International Airport and Ciampino Airport are about a 30-minute
drive away.
Rooms
Clean and simple rooms with tile floors and flat-screen TVs with Sky TV
The basic, pleasant rooms are available in a variety of configurations, from Single through Triple Rooms. Room decor varies slightly, mainly through the bedding that ranges from blue multicolored comforters to purple bed runners with red
pillows. Pale green walls, red-tile floors, and light-wood furniture decorate the space in a mismatched fashion while flat-screen TVs with Sky TV are mounted on the walls.
Minibars with drinks are stored in the corners of the rooms, and there's air-conditioning provided. Some rooms have coffeemakers, but all rooms and
bathrooms are small. Additionally, some rooms have loud street noise. Red and
white tile adorn the traditional bathrooms with white sinks attached to the
walls. Hairdryers and Senza toiletries are provided, but only tiny showers are
available (no tubs). Wi-Fi is free throughout.
Features

bar with cocktails, wine, and beer. Concierge services and a 24-hour front desk
