Better than four stars
We were impressed with the Albani from the moment we checked in. First we were upgraded to a suite which was great, beautiful sparkling marble bathroom, spacious bedroom, sitting room and bath. Thick warm bathrobes and slippers. We used the slippers the whole trip. The people at the front desk were helpful with restaurant suggestions, reservations, calling a taxi, bus routes anything we needed. Everyone was cheerful and friendly even when there were groups of over forty people on tours, they took a moment to get our room key and say hi. The breakfast staff are fantastic Mario is a doll. The breakfast was a wonderful start to each day, great selection and quality, your own pot of tea and coffee at a linen clothed table with fresh flowers. We also had dinner one night, it was a little more expensive than some dinners, but we both thought it was one of the best in Italy. I’d love to stay there again and would recommend this very special hotel to everyone. Great Job Albani wish I could remember the names of the women on the front desk to thank you personally.
The front desk recommended Osteria All’ Antico Mercato on Via Nazionale. We liked it so much we went there twice, great homemade pasta and pizzas and really nice people. Luigi was wonderful. It’s a short walk from the hotel in case you’re tired after walking for miles all day the way we did. The 414 stairs up the bell tower are much less crowded than the dome and there are floors to stop at to catch your breath, take pictures, find your hotel and sites while you go to the top. So you do it at your own pace and the top is really worth it.

Convenient location - comfortable stay - great value
The location of the hotel near the railway station was a plus. Our room on the top floor had a nice terrace with a view. The room was comfortable, with an extra large bed and sufficient room to move arround. The A/C worked well. The bathroom was large and comfortable. Breakfast was plentifull and delicious. The hotel staff were polite and helfull. Our seven night stay a the hotel was pleasant and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
Pack light, especially if traveling by train. It is hard to get on and off the train in a hurry with lots of bulky lugage.

Great value!
Lovely hotel, excellent room and bath. Only possible problem was accomodating some gigantic tour groups in the breakfast room.
In early October the city was not too crowded or over-run with tourists, even though it is obviously a major tourist destination.
