The hotel was immaculate, our room was very large with a great shower. Also, staff was very friendly, hotel bar was nice with good selection of wines and champagnes by the glass.
I really liked the location of this hotel, we were able to walk to many sites, we even walked to the Colliseum and back, stopping at other sites, shops, and a cafe or two on the way back. In fact, the only time we took a cab was to the Vatican. Everything else we just walked to from the hotel. We also walked to the restaurant I wrote up on, Santo Padre - which was a wonderful place. I will say, since it is a Westin, it does not have the small traditional feel, so if you are looking for some "cultural experience" within a hotel, this is probably not it for you. BUT, if you like a nice clean updated room with a great TV, a shower with fantastic water pressure and want to be able to walk to a few of the sites in town - this is by far a great spot

 Hotel Excelsior at twilight, Taken from across the by petdec I was fortunate during this visit(my first since retiring)to be able to stay in The Hotel Excelsior. This hotel , has been taken over by the Westin Hotel Group ,but , at least whilst we were ther, it has not been altered too much. This place has been a world leader in luxury Hotels for many years. When I was a young Opera Student in the seventies, I was taken to a function here and was awestruck by its opulent elegance. If you like people watching., then buy a drink (not cheap,but it wont break you)and sit and watch, particularly in the early evening,you wont be disappointed.
The service was excellent as was the suite we had. The staff were friendly,and helpful. A legendary ,fabulous Hotel , situated on The Via-Veneto,made famous in the Fellini film of the sixties, "La Dolce Vita" This hotel is worth the expence even for one night to be truly spoilt and indulged.
