About

Hotel Giulio Cesare

Hotel Giulio Cesare is a 4-star property on Via degli Scipioni in Rome, around five minutes on foot from San Gioacchino ai Prati di Castello Cardinal Titular Church. It is a non-smoking hotel with 24-hour reception, a lift, parking, a garden area, and practical touches such as currency exchange and luggage storage.

Guest ratings put dining at 9/10 and location at 8/10, with breakfast and helpful staff coming up repeatedly in reviews. The weakest category is rooms and cleanliness at 6/10, so it pays to check the exact room type before booking.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Breakfast is the most consistent highlight. — The dining category scores 9/10, and guests describe a buffet with plenty of choice — eggs, pastries, sausages, bacon, meats, bruschetta and Italian pies.
  • Location works well for sightseeing. — The location category scores 8/10. Reviewers note the hotel is near a metro, close to the Vatican, and within walking distance of Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza Cavour, Piazza del Popolo and Via del Corso.
  • Staff and service earn warm praise. — Guests describe staff as friendly, helpful and competent; bartenders made off-menu cocktails and offered public transport and sightseeing advice.
  • Common areas add character. — Several reviewers single out the elegant reception, a courtyard garden with a fountain, and a roof terrace.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness are the lowest-rated category. — Guests score this 6/10, against an overall rating of 8.4. One review described a bathroom that seemed from a much earlier era, and the economy room is an annex rather than in the main building.
  • The check-in window ends just before midnight. — Published check-in hours run from 14:30 to 23:59. Anyone arriving after that needs to make late-arrival arrangements with the hotel.
  • Value is rated solid but not top-tier. — The combined 'price and service' category scores 7/10, below the dining and location scores.
