Some rooms and bathrooms are more recently updated than others, but all have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and walk-in showers. A free continental breakfast is served daily, and
there is a 24-hour bar in the lobby. The hotel has free Wi-Fi and an Internet corner, but there is
no on-site parking. Many of the city's sights, like the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps, are within easy walking distance. The nearby Hotel Fontana has a breakfast room that overlooks Trevi Fountain and a historic setting in a former monastery, but rates are slightly higher.

Scene
Simple, family-run hotel in a 19th-century palace, with a mix of modern and dated decor
The small, family-run Lirico Hotel occupies part of a renovated 19th-century palace in the heart of Rome; the historic building looks like it has been updated at various points in the last 40 years, with some rooms appearing quite dated, while others appear modern and well-maintained. The building's entry hallway is especially picturesque, a red carpet-lined marble staircase leading up from a marble foyer lined with colorful modern artwork. The lobby up the stairs, though, feels like it was last touched in the 1980s, thanks to tan tile, dark faux-wood panels, and a brown leather sofa; the adjacent bar and breakfast room have wooden furnishings, peach-colored tablecloths, yellow walls, and kitschy artwork. There are a number of windows throughout the common areas. The hotel caters to both business travelers and tourists looking for somewhere safe, comfortable, and well-located to stay.
Location
Central location near the Piazza dell Repubblica, within walking distance of many Roman sights
The Lirico Hotel is located in the
center of Rome, around the corner from the Piazza della Repubblica and the Roma Termini train stations. The Rome Opera House, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Santa
Maria degli Angeli are within walking distance, as are the
Diocletian Bath, Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, Quirinale Palace, and Palazzo
Barberini. The area is filled with restaurants, public transit options, and shops. The Ciampino Airport and
Leonardo da Vinci International airport are both around a 30-minute drive
(one-hour public transportation ride) away.
Rooms
Some more recently updated than others
Rooms at the Lirico Hotel come in a range of sizes, from singles through family-friendly quads. The decor is classic and a bit dated, with brightly colored striped wallpaper, hardwood or tan tile floors, blue patterned
bedspreads, and metallic padded headboards. Accents include crown moldings, mid-toned wood
furniture, and blue couches or tan daybeds that provide seating. Some rooms are more recently updated than others. Flat-screen TVs with Sky TV are attached to the walls, and all
windows are soundproofed. Rooms come with free newspapers
and air-conditioning. Some have picturesque city views
and new, walk-in slate showers; however, other rooms are small, only
have showers, and are obviously older. Bathrooms are generally contemporary, with walk-in shower stalls, and toiletries are provided. Bathrooms lack counter space,
though.
Features
Free buffet breakfast, 24-hour hotel bar and room service, free Wi-Fi
