An affordable small hotel in a nice area of Rome, having a one night stay following a cruise vacation. The staff member was friendly and very helpful on our arrival and upgraded us to a balcony room foc which was a nice surprise. The room was nice with a comfortable bed and good air conditioning which was needed in 42c temperatures! My only tiny issue was the bathroom tiles could do with a grout refresh but other than that we enjoyed our stay at The Shire Hotel 😊

This is not an Hotel! It’s in an office building and when you arrive your on your own no help with luggage’s. The room needs to be refreshed a lot of marks on walls.
The worst is that my husband woke up with bed bugs bite on the morning of departure.
The breakfast is just ok and the breakfast room temperature was hot.
One employee was exceptional Madelana can’t thank her enough!!!! She was extremely helpful!!!!
I do not recommend this hotel.

All the staff from checking in to our room to departure were amazing, supper friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
The hotel was very clean. Our room was like a suit and we had an unexpected complimentary bottle of Prosecco on arrival ( nice touch) and the complimentarys kept coming with fresh fruit the next day. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Hidden gem!
Beautifully decorated small boutique hotel! In a great location to see Trevi fountain and Spanish steps! Breakfast was lovely and staff were happy to help. Only downside is we could hear the chatting at reception through the door, but it did quieten at night.

Sweat box
Horrible
It was 100 degrees in the room. They only give you one key card which you have to insert into a panel
To turn on electricity. So when you leave all power turns off. I usually leave chargers plugged in when going out and was unable to do that. Also it turns off the AC and it never got cool. I would have suffocated if not for my travel fan.
The hotel is also hard to find as they only have a tiny sign that is easily missed. I had to ask a server at the restaurant next door where it was.

The Shire was in a fairly good position, where it was walkable to most areas, within about 40 minutes. The room was quiet at night and close to all restaurants. The room was small, but clean. Some upgrades, but still pretty basic. The staff was helpful and friendly.

The Shire hotel is within walking distance to so many attractions in Rome. We never had to use a taxi until we went to the airport. The desk staff are so very helpful with dinner ideas in the area for authentic Italian cuisine. Maria Louisa also arranged our transportation from the cruise terminal and to the airport. Excellent service!
