Viminale Hotel: Beautiful hotel tucked away in quiet neighborhood
Satisfaction:

Hotel Viminale is a nice, comfortable hotel with helpful staff and nice, clean rooms. We had a lovely room on the street side with a balcony. The furnishings were tasteful and the linens and ammenities were nice and comfortable.
The hotel has two lovely terraces on the third and fourth floors. From these terraces, one may sit in a porch swing and rock away while looking at the beautiful city. Great views from these terraces - great place to relax and talk.
Directions: From entrance of train station, turn L onto Via Cav-our. After about four blocks, turn R onto Via A. Depretis (in front of S. Maria Maggiore). Two blocks on this street and you will see Via Cesare Balbo. Turn L and the hotel is down one block on the L.
I did not include pricing information since the room price has fluctuated quite a bit lately. Therefore, I will focus on the other details of our stay here. The location is good. It is only a few minutes of walking to get to and from Termini Station. We did not require a cab to transfer from the station. The rooms are clean, and everything in there seemed to work fine. Breakfast was good. If you are an avid walker, you can reach many of the main sites without trouble. I walked between the hotel and the Trevi fountain, Pantheon, and the Colosseum. There are restaurants and public transportation opportunities nearby. If you stay here, go to the rooftop of the hotel and look out over the city. It is a nice balcony. The photo is included here. Be sure you have a map when coming to the Viminale. It is not too complicated to get here, however the map certainly helps.
