Grand Hotel Duca D'Este

Comfort and cleanliness

Zero flexibility on late check out (set to 10am)

The rooms are spacious the pool is fabulous the gym has clean new equipment and the staff in the bar and restaurant were so good - friendly and helpful. You can catch a train into Rome really easily and the Tivoli Gardens and Hadrian’s Villa are well worth visiting.

Comfortable rooms and a good breakfast make this an ideal base for either exploring Rome and its surroundings or catching a flight from nearby airports. An excellent swimming pool too

The pool: good size and well maintained. Good breakfast buffet. Good restaurant staff service.

The hotel is geared for group travel. We had booked a junior suite, but on arrival seeing it faced a busy road, we paid to upgrade to a suite. The windows were dirty. The shower had no shelf for toiletries; hence opening the door while showering wets the bathroom floor. No Kleenex/similar. One waste basket in whole suite (3 areas). Towels for the pool are charged; chair and umbrella are free. No lifeguard at the pool on day of closure of the hotel spa; pool is open for hotel guests. For two of the three days of our stay there was noisy construction work during the day. If we knew about this in advance, we would not have booked. The hotel management could have offered an apology and some sort compensation for the inconvenience.
