Staying in Rome for 6 nights pre-cruise and trying to decide between Hotel Smeraldo and Hotel Damaso. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I've only stayed at one of them so I can't compare.
We stayed at Hotel Smeraldo earlier this month. Great location, excellent breakfast, friendly desk and kitchen staff, very nice roof terrace. The only downside is that it can be a little noisy - at least that was the case with our room. Still, that didn't stop our enjoyment of being in Rome for that part of our trip.
It’s been years, but I stayed at Hotel Smeraldo and liked it’s location. Believe it’s been remodeled and expanded since I stayed at it. Haven’t stayed the the other you asked about.
crsvenska - Thank you, but we won’t be there at that time. Enjoy your trip!!
