10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel with close access to the airport. They have a shuttle that runs 24/7 every 15 minutes from the airport to/from the hotel. We had trouble locating where the shuttle picks people up at the airport so be sure to figure that out otherwise it's a 35 Euro cab ride to the hotel. Hotel was nice and the free breakfast was good and starts at 6am. Highly recommended."

"We had a great stay at IQ Hotel Roma. The hotel was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was excellent—close to everything. Most of the restaurant staff were wonderful and we truly appreciate their service. Unfortunately, one restaurant manager was not very welcoming when we asked to refill our water, which was disappointing. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel, and if I visit Rome again, I would definitely choose IQ Hotel Roma."
