The staff at this hotel was extremely friendly, helpful and courteous from the minute we arrived handing us a map with great knowledge of the area to the moment of our departure. The location was superb, just an 8 minute walk to the Colosseum and 5 minutes walk to any form of transportation including metro and buses which is the... More

Our room looked nothing like the pictures. The lobby is actually across the street from the hotel room. It was the smallest room we had in Italy. The beds were very hard! We had our worst sleep here. The phone was out of service the entire 4 nights we stayed there. Every time we needed to use the phone, we... More

We stayed at Hotel Grifo for 8 nights from January 28-February 5 and found the location amazing. It was a 15 minute walk to Termini Station, 10 minute walk to the Colosseum/Forum, and a 5 minute walk to the nearest taxi stand by Santa Maria Maggiore. The staff was always friendly and the breakfast consisted of cereals, breakfast breads, coffee,... More

We booked through Expedia and paid a total of 162 Euro for a three night stay, which is an unbeatable price for the location! You can walk to every attraction, and take a... More

We stayed here for 5 nights in the summer of 2011. Very small, basic room. Beds were not too comfortable, but all seemed clean. Refrigerator was broken, but quickly replaced. Air conditioning strength was poor. Thank goodness for the terrace! After a very long day of sightseeing, it was nice to be able to sit outside and relax with our... More

Our family of 4 stayed there in late Nov-early December 2011. I am writing this because I had benefited from all the reviews of this and other hotels I got from Tripadvisor 1) great location - easy to zip back and use the toilets if necessary. Highly recommend you walk to/from all locations, even the Vatican City which is the... More

We stayed at Hotel Grifo for 5 nights in December 2011. Our initial impression of our quad room was a bit disappointing , but the beds were comfortable, the breakfast adequate and the location could not be beat. If you are coming from N. America do not balk at the 3 star rating, for if you are going to compare... More
