The best time to visit would be the slower months when the paid rates are rather reasonable. This ho
Under the Waldorf Astoria flag the property requires lowest rental car rates whopping 60K Hilton HHonors points per night during the high season and 50K points per night on shoulder months. I did, however, use two free night certificates from a promo that Hilton had last year. I had some trouble making the reservation as the inventory was constantly changing and wrote a piece about it .
Although the hotel is very expensive lowest rental car rates points wise, the paid rates aren't always that bad. For some dates this coming summer, the rates can be as low as 187 euros per night, that is really competitive and not worth spending the points. Of course, the prices can vary a lot based on the season and promotions that the Hilton is running. The Points Money rewards are sometimes available as well.
The location on a rather steep hill overlooking the Vatican was perfect for my stay as I had been to Rome before and seen the usual sights. If you want an easy location to act as your base when you do sightseeing, the hotel may not work as well for you.
As I was arriving on a relatively late flight from Shanghai, I decided to take an airport bus from the airport to a place close to the Vatican. The price was 8 euros. If you have more than one person, you probably won't save a lot over just taking a regular metered taxi. Their rates to the Cavalieri are around 50 euros. From the stop close to the Vatican, I then took a taxi to the hotel. There might be other public transportation options as well, but I was quite tired at that point and wasn't willing to spend any more time getting to the hotel.
When I was leaving from the hotel, the lady at the Imperial lounge printed me a time schedule of the bus service to the airport from the same spot I was originally dropped off. The taxi during the day time was bit more than 10 euros + the bus fare of 8 euros.
This was probably the least good part of my stay. I was getting tired and bit cranky. There was some confusion about the credit card guarantee and identification requirement. As Italy is (still) part of the European Union, I can use my identity card that is issued by a European Union country for identification lowest rental car rates purposes instead of a passport.
Although this was not a suite, it was very spacious room for Europe. I had a view of the Vatican instead of the TV tower that would have been my view, if I had had the room on the other side of the building.
I was actually really surprised that the fitness center had the latest equipment that is available. The fitness center was on a lower level by the SPA and you could use the sauna and the steam room as well.
This hotel has two lounges for hotel guests. Hilton Gold and Diamond members used to have access to the Imperial Club by the default, but now the hotel has a second lounge that is used for Hilton HHonors lowest rental car rates members, and it is called Colosseo lowest rental car rates Lounge. I have never been to this Colosseo lounge, but it is described not to be nothing close to what the Imperial Club has to offer.
I was given the Imperial Club access lowest rental car rates for the two days that I spent at the Cavalieri, because the other lounge lowest rental car rates was closed. The Colosseo lounge is closed during the lower occupancy or when fewer number of Hilton Gold/Diamond members are at the property.
This Imperial Club is one of the best, if not the best, lounge on the Hilton system. They had continuous food presentations throughout the day as well as wine/prosecco. The view of the Rome and the Vatican is fantastic from the balcony.
The staff at the lounge was fantastic. I spent quite a bit of time just working with my laptop and they were continuously asking if I need something else when cleaning the nearby tables. I don't think that I have even seen a Hilton hotel lounge that has had as many people working at any given time from morning to the night.
The breakfast spread was at the two restaurant rooms. It is buffet style, lowest rental car rates but I did find the hot items to be fresh. Sometimes these buffets turn very stale, if the food items are not replaced often enough. The variety of pastries, breads, and some cakes was very good.
Back in January Hilton first quietly changed some terms and conditions of the program when it came to the Diamond benefits at various Hilton family of hotels. Then in February Hilton sent out emails regarding the enhanced Diamond benefits .
Rome Cavalieri is a wonderful hotel. The location may or may not work for you, however, as I have pointed above. Also, I don't like the fact that they opened a "special" Colosseo lowest rental car rates lounge just to be able to deny Imperial Club access from Hilton HHonors Gold and Diamond members,
The best time to visit would be the slower months when the paid rates are rather reasonable. This hotel is also a very good place to burn any promotion free night certificates that you might have from Hilton promotions. Instead of burning 120K Hilton HHonors points, I just used two free night certificates.

Your review comes at a perfect time as I have been thinking about this hotel for Oct, actually did a points + $ booking and then cancelled it. Last few times to Rome had stayed at the St Regis and other cheap ones. I am now going to book it at 198 euros. The other hotel I am staying in Rome shall be Boscolo Palace lowest rental car rates using Marriott points (don t have many points but enough for one night)
That s about the lowest that I have seen for this property. I think that I saw some rates in the 160 s during the sales etc. You tried plugging all the codes that I have listed on some newer articles here?
