We have been here over ten times and never been disappointed. The SINA chain is just great (see in particular our favorites: their Villa Medici in Frienze, ------------------, and their excellent hotel in Venice, Palazzo Sant'Angelo, -------------------------, in Milan delaville@sinahotels.it , among others, and the SINA website -----------------). Also in Perugia is an amazing underground pool with ancient stone ruins under the glass-bottomed pool, at --------------------- See the Bernini site at ---------------------.
Bernini Bristol has a wonderful health club with giant jacuzzi, steam and sauna, with lots of marble and decor in the sense of the Roman bath, and is relaxing indeed. The rooms are exquisitely decorated with brocaded and padded silk upholstry on the walls, colorful and comfortable furniture, and marble bathrooms that are luxurious and spacious. The staff and concierge are knowledgeable and helpful; the location is excellent, providing a central starting point for walks throughout Rome. The Bernini is at the foot of via Veneto, and coming out of the Bernini, one is next to the Cappucino Church and Crypt (great skull and bones collection!) a 10 minute walk to the Spanish Steps and the via Condotti shopping, and 15 minutes from the Trevi Fountains and a few minutes farther is Piazza Navona. You are 20 minutes away from the Pantheon and the best gelato (try the wonderful shaved ice granita -- made by hand not machine -- in lemon, grapefruit and other flavors) at Giollitti's.
The Piazza Barberini has the wonderful (and underrated) fountain of Tritone, and the only downside is that you are within 200 meters of the Planet Hollywood (ugh).
Again, the staff is just wonderful, and go out of their way to be helpful, unlike some conceited staff in other 5 star hotels that make you feel like they are doing you a favor. The concierge always got us tickets to opera, music and the like.
We love them! Best, Michael Hartmann

The Bernini Bristol is the ideal place to stay while in Rome. This great hotel is near everything, has an excellent staff, and wonderful rooms. Our room even had a small patio, just right for coffee in the morning. Don't miss the roof restaurant! Next time I'm in Rome, I'll stay at the Bernini.

Excellent & friendly reception - they upgraded us to a suite (506/507), due to our anniversary. 2 Room suite with hallway was very large & had balcony facing Triton Fountain - I believe only the front rooms on floor 5 have balconies.Beautiful restaurant l'Olimpo on top of hotel - spectacular views & outside terrace. Food was good.A nice hotel at an excellent rate.(We would definitely come back at this rate & if we could get that suite again - great for jet-lagged couples waking & sleeping at different times!

The hotel was fantastic. Very cozy, warm and great service. The rooms were spacious, clean and deluxe-like. The location could not be better. Minutes to all the major attractions in Rome. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.
To those of you who gave a bad review of this hotel...get a life, you obviously have not travelled much and especially in Europe. European hotels are much different than the US...one needs to bear that in mind when traveling.

Recently we stayed at this hotel, and I really like the location. It's not very far from any major place to see in Rome (ex: Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Via Condotti, Hard Rock Cafe....etc). The room is nice and clean, but of course you can't compare it to a 5 stars hotel in US.
The concierge people were very helpful. The complimentary breakfast were great and the server were very nice (again, just like any regular continental breaskfast, you can't expect like in major US 5 stars hotel in US). Overall I had a pleasant and nice stay in this hotel during my recent vacation.

A graceful hotel that still retains hints and echos of what was probably a more glamourous and fashionable time (Think Sophia and Marcello). It is still wonderfully located, nicely maintained and appointed and graced with a service staff that was absolutely superb.
Do not miss the roof top restaurant at sunset or the excellent brakfast.

My sister and I stayed at the Bernini Bristol Hotel for four nights, the second week in April 2004. We had a De Luxe room (including breakfast) overlooking the Piazza. The hotel was beautifully furnished and decorated. Our room was lovely, large and spotlessly clean with plenty of wardrobe space. The double glazing coped well with the Rome traffic! Our bed sheets were changed every day.The bathroom was very good, lovely soft towels and loads of hot water. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The staff were most attentive exactly what would expect from a 5 star De Luxe Hotel. The hotel was in an excellent position for seeing Rome and was a wonderful haven after a busy day sightseeing. I would most definately return. I would not want to visit Rome any later in the year as it was very hot even for April, but a wonderful city nevertheless.

The Hotel Bernini Bristol has a wonderful location at the bottom of Via Veneto at Piazza Barberini. The Metro A line and many bus lines stop right near the hotel. The view from the roof garden is great and the staff allowed us to relax there when the restaurant was closed. The workout gym is extensive and has a hot tub, steam room and sauna to go with modern equipment. However, the highlight of the hotel is their staff. They are always helpful and extremely welcoming of foreign tourists. As Americans, we were absolutely at home at Hotel Bernini and highly recommend it to anyone.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and we would recommend it to anyone. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating and spoke English well. They gave excellent suggestions for places to eat and to visit. The breakfast was lavish. Our hotel room looked out onto the piazza and Bernini's beautiful fountain. Next door is an Internet cafe, and the Via Veneto begins on the other side. We probably wouldn't have spent as much ordinarily, but for a special occasion, it was worth it.
This place is a gem.

Prior to my arrival to Rome I switched my hotel three times before I selected the Bernini Bristol, and I was very happy with my choice to stay there. This hotel is right at the base of the Via Veneto area, which in my opinion is the best place to stay in all of Rome. The hotel is conveniently located to a lot of the major sites, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the Spanish Steps to name a few. The Barberini Metro station is right next to the hotel.
The rooms were very comfortable, and spacious for European standards. The windows had automatic blinds that could be used to totally block out any light or sound from the outside.
The service was excellent, the front desk staff and concierge were very friendly and helpful. On about my fifth day there I arrived back to my room after a long day of sight seeing to find a wonderful platter of fruit compliments of the General Manager, this was a great surprise at the end of the day.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Bernini Bristol, and I will definitely be staying there again
