Relais Cavour Inn — Hotel in Rome

This is not an 'Inn', in the quaint and typically English sense of the word.  At the door of the 'Inn', you will read that your accommodation is also described as a 'Guest House'.  Do not despair. ||58 via Cavour, Rome, is a large building on a busy and noisy road. The building itself, discreetly accommodates a small number of businesses (but on entry, you would hardly know it, apart from name plates). ||On entry at street level, through a beautiful (and typically large) wooden door, you will find yourself in a cool lobby with high ceiling, and a concierge cabin.  An intimate elevator is available, or a wide, marble staircase to take you to your the Guest House entrance door on the first floor. There are only 4 accommodation rooms. ||Staff are from the Philippines, and they are lovely.  Upon your welcome, you are given keys to the street-level door, the access door to the 'Inn', and your room key.  *Arrival instructions are emailed to you initially, so don't worry. ||We found our room was very clean, bright, comfortable - and perfectly ideal for us as a couple. A nice view from our window of the street below is available, although not panoramic.  Decor was fractionally tired, in places - but it did not detract from our enjoyment of the room. ||On our first night we slept for 14 hours !  I guess because of a combination of the travel time from home in the UK, and the double-glazed window. When shut correctly, the room is blanketed in complete darkness. If you are a light sleeper, you may possibly hear the rumblings of a passing tram. We heard nothing of the outside world during the night. ||There was not a wardrobe in our room, nor a place to store clothing.  There was however, a hanging rail with hangers. Reassuringly, there is a safe for your valuables.  Toiletries and towels are supplied.  Breakfast is brought to your room at a time of your choice, within parameters - and it is quite lovely. ||We have stayed in the grandest of hotels in Dubai, Singapore and Mauritius. It all depends on your personal itinerary at any given time - wherever you are in the world. Relais Cavour Inn was perfect for our needs in Rome in 2023.  For three nights, the...

Stayed here for a night because we were planning to take the train from Roma Termini the next day. It was so convenient - we got off the Leonardo Express at Termini and reached the hotel on foot within 5 minutes. Front desk staff was very warm and friendly, and gave us lots of tips on where to go during the short time we had in Rome. It was walkable to lots of things to eat and do - for example, we got to the Spanish Steps in 15 minutes on foot at a relaxed pace. ||||Room was very comfortable and clean. We had a lovely complimentary breakfast delivered straight to our room on a tray - I loved the way they let us order, by ticking boxes on a sign and hanging it outside the door (if you are really hungry you can order as much as you want!) The staff were kind enough to let us get breakfast at 645am so that we could catch our early train, even though usually breakfast starts at 7am. ||||The only things that could be improved are that the pillows are quite flat, and in our room the water temperature ran hot and cold rather unpredictably. Otherwise, a...
