Fab location, a lovely room and helpful staff

Air conditioning was not really apparent despite multiple attempts to get it going. I was unlucky in that the Italian equivalent of the Oscars took place immediately outside the building on one night and no double glazing can compete with a full orchestra and loud speakers

Location was great,room very clean,bed made up every day new towels everyday. the breakfast was great

The air-conditioning could have been a little colder only went to 18 a bit picky but just one more degree 17 would have been fine. The shower room needs to be addressed the shower screens were far to small lots of water from splash all over the floor making the tiles very slippery had to put towels on the floor to absorb the water and stop it from spreading I to the bedroom a part from that absolutely fine

A Truly Exceptional Stay – A Slice of Paradise From the moment I arrived, I was absolutely captivated by the beauty of this hotel. The architecture, the ambiance, and the surroundings all blended together perfectly to create a truly stunning atmosphere. Every corner of the property feels thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained — a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. What truly made this stay unforgettable, however, was the kindness and warmth of the staff. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure that I felt welcome, cared for, and completely at ease. Whether it was a small request or a spontaneous need, everything was handled with genuine attentiveness and a smile. All of my needs were not only met but anticipated, making me feel incredibly valued as a guest. It’s rare to experience this level of hospitality — and I can honestly say this was one of the best stays I’ve ever had. If you're looking for a place where beauty, comfort, and exceptional service come together seamlessly, look no further. I can't wait to return!

Everything was great. Location was excellent, near the bus station and near the city center. Breakfast was nice and delicious, has everything you eat plus coffee.

The sheets were dirty!

We had the MOST wonderful stay at the Shire Hotel. Prior to arrival, the staff had already been responsive on our request for twin beds, and we found out at check-in that the responsiveness entailed an upgrade to one of their gorgeous corner suites. The room was stunning, having the best corner view of the Porta Pinciana gate! Beds were comfy and breakfast absolutely did the job. The location is nice for those who want to be within walking distance of main monuments but also far enough away from the throng of people. Also, a very dog friendly property! My little guy was happy and well taken care of! We were also treated to a complementary bottle of prosecco on the 2nd night of our stay (after I asked if Harry's Bar downstairs would send one up for us). Truly the staff went above and beyond for us - and they were all so lovely!

For me the best thing about the Shire hotel was its location, it is situated near the Termini station and the beautiful park, which I enjoyed running round. It’s an easy 20 minute stroll to the main attractions (definitely not an hour as per the reception info!) and right next to a Metro stop should choose to use it. I walked everywhere and just soaked up the atmosphere and the architecture. It’s such a beautiful and lively city - spoilt only by the vast amounts of tourists! (Which I was one of!) The hotel served a lovely breakfast and my room was perfect for one person, and very quiet. I didn’t have a view of anything except buildings but I requested a quiet room so assumed I was given that one as it faced off the road. The hotel is situated on the first floor so it was hard to tell what the weather was doing without running down the stairs and outside but I imagine in summer you wouldn’t need to do this as it’s just hot! I loved the bright white hotel decor and would definitely recommend.

The staff were helpful and efficient but not very friendly!

Property was clean and in a great location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved the balcony room overlooking the city. They helped us get into our room early after a long red eye flight and early arrival

Would have been cool to have earlier breakfast, as we were busy with activities most days. But I don’t really think that’s a complaint, just our schedule.

Location was perfect, away from tourist crowd.Lots of restaurant around.Welcome wine and fruit plate was fantastic. Both room and bathroom was large and clean.Ladies at the reception was very helpful

Breakfast was not very rich but sufficient. Since the hotel is at first floor, the street noise was in the room,luckily the street was not too busy

- Nice location away from tourists crowds - Nice breakfast - Clean rooms - Nice staff ready to help - Just around 10 rooms boutique hotel - Very quiet at night - AC for cold and hot weather - Complimentary bottle of wine on check-in

- No portable heater if you need it - No iron and iron board - Not possible to dry clothes if you have a child - The price can be high

Like that the room is spacious and new compared to the standard rooms in Rome at the same rating. The owner and staff were really nice all the time. Take note, to give the specific time of arrival as the reception close after 6pm. We were a bit delayed and lucky we managed to call the owner to hand us our keys. She also recommended us a good restaurant around the corner. In Rome there are plenty of tourist traps and what was recommended was not one. Would choose the hotel once again if we return. Breakfast was simple if you are not a big eater. Good for us to pick up a fruit or a coffee to start the day.

The rooms were new, but the design in the bathroom had some flaws. The bathroom was always wet because of how one of the pipes were positioned. But small matter, if you can wipe it off with the towels. The water damage on the bathroom furniture is quite visible. The cleanliness of the bathroom can be improved before and during the stay.
