Hotel Quirinale

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 6th time staying at Hotel Quirnale. It is an old world hotel with a wonderful staff. The breakfast is great & the hotel is within a close proximity to the train station. There are nice restaurants close to the hotel. The rooms are reasonably priced. The front desk at the hotel with assist you with restaurant recommendations, the purchase of museum tickets, taxi’s etc. There is a room dedicated to holding luggage prior to the check in time.
