Rome: Residenza Cellini or Rome Cavalier (Hilton)

I am debating which hotel to say in for 3 nights in Rome. Feedback from anyone with recent stays in the hotels would be appreciated. I know they are very different hotels (Hilton is outside downtown) but I have points that I can use there.... just not sure its worth taking a limited hour shuttle for 3 short days.

Residenza Cellini by far! Very convenient location and I found helpful staff. The Cavalieri is OK if you are there for a conference and most of your time must be spent there. But with only 3 days in Rome you don't want to waste any time!! Buon viaggio!

I always stay at the Cavalieri when in Rome. It is outside the city which makes the evenings very nice. It allows time to unwind without all the hubbub of the city. There is a shuttle that runs all day long to and from the city. It has two wonderful pools, a great spa and a top rated restaurant.

It is a treat if you have the points to burn and can stay on the executive level.
We were there for 4 days, and it is without a doubt one of the finest Hiltons' in the EU--and I've stayed a several. As noted before, there is a shuttle into the city and it runs from early to late evening, allowing dinner and hanging out in the city.
The Executive club is the best I have experienced, and the staff supurb.

I would save the points for another city. You will need to stay on the Hilton shuttle schedule or take a taxi back to the hotel.Be sure to check what is included - if you have to pay for breakfast at the Hilton it will set you back quite a bit. Same thing goes for lounge chairs at the pool. Pool access is free but if you're not in the water there is usually a charge to sit down.

I've stayed at the Cellini and it is fabulous - one of the best hotels I've stayed in period. To each their own, but I go to Rome to immerse in the city and hubbub, not flee it and Cellini is in a great location.
