"Let me first say that the view lived up to the name...WOW! Truly spectacular! You can see for miles. And the central location right on the main square was exactly right for us. Great for people watching and jumping right into the swing.
The staff, especially Maria, was very friendly and attentive. Not much English spoken, but I enjoyed practicing my Italian, and language wasn't a big barrier.
The hotel was clean although, like many other very old buildings, there are always corners that need some attention (breakfast terrace especially...there was a ladder and old umbrella that detracted from the charm).
The only real negative was the breakfast...In the land of buon pane, why would anyone want to eat packaged sliced bread and dry prepackaged toast? We would have much preferred some of the delicious local breads or biscotti.
Frascati is beautiful, and we really wanted to get a taste of the Castelli Romani, but we found that there was very little information or knowledge to be had, even from the town's tourist information office, as to how to go about seeing things, or getting from here to there. I got the impression that this area hasn't really opened up to the non-Italian tourist...which is on one hand part of its charm, but frustrating on the other.
THE BIGGEST OBJECTION BY FAR: THE $30 RESERVATION FEE LEVIED BY HOTELS 123. NOWHERE ELSE HAVE WE EVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A CHARGE. ALSO, WHEN A CHANGE HAD TO BE MADE IN THE PLANS OF ONE MEMBER OF OUR PARTY, THEY WERE VERY UNHELPFUL. I WAS FORCED TO CALL ON MY MEAGER ITALIAN AND DEAL DIRECTLY WITH MARIA AT THE HOTEL TO GET THE NECESSARY CHANGES MADE."

"We really disliked the breakfasts. With all the wonderful crusty breads and delicious pastries available in Itlay, it was disappointing to be served sliced bread from a package. It was soft and tasteless. The wrapped biscuit was horrible as well. It would also have been nice to have caffe latte available. Otherwise we really enjoyed the hotel and especially the service. Thank you."
