I've been sitting on this review for quite some time because I never had the energy to really…read moreexpress the weird experience I had here. While traveling to Rome with a friend, we decided that we should spend a few days of our trip outside of the city. Websites online boast that Frascati is a sleepy country side with a ton of hidden gems including the typical piazzas as well as the Castelli Romani and vineyards. Frascati is more like the Staten Island of Rome - a pain in the ass suburb to get to. Anyway, I didn't know this so we settled on staying at Villa Mercede for 3 nights. The website shows a glorious pool and a pristine dining area that turns into a lounge at night. Two single ladies couldn't really go wrong here, right? Think again. This hotel is DUMB far from the Frascati train station. They say it's a 10 minute walk but fail to tell you that the ENTIRE walk is uphill and impossible with luggage. Uber also doesn't work there so if you ever need to get back to the hotel past 9pm, good luck and God bless. It was miserable and the hotel shuttle service stops way too early to make this a tourist spot. We checked in at around 1pm and the man at the front desk, last name was Di Giulio or something, was rude as could possibly be. He must not have realized I spoke Italian so when he asked me for my passport and I bent down into my luggage to get it, he mumbled some choice curse words in Italian to his colleague. As if me bending to get the document was somehow offensive to him. We were off to a great start. The Castelli Romani are close but they do 0 advertising of this except for a few pamphlets at the front desk. Basically, once you get here, you're stranded unless you have a car. Wish someone would have warned me. Wish the hotel also told us more about stuff to do. We tried to walk up to our room on the other side of the hotel but get this... we had to walk UP stairs, down a hallway, then take an elevator downstairs to our floor. Combine that with jet lag and a long ass day of traveling and I PROMISE you that you will get lost. The food at the dining area was good but it never did turn into a lounge at night so I was pretty bored while stranded here. Restaurants were also dumb far and closed super early. Thankfully there is a gelateria and café attached so we subsisted on gelato alone for quite a few meals. Please don't get me started on the pool which could have been the only saving grace here in terms of fun. It was taken over by gnats so even though the weather was sunny, we couldn't go in. During our 3 night stay, they cleaned the pool 0 times. The pool area was deserted in terms of other people at the hotel. I'll admit the rooms were gorgeous... comfortable, roomy, trendy, and spotless. But for the price and the fact that you are basically stuck there, they better be! The area is not as advertised on their website. We never made it to Castelli Romani since my friend ended up with a cold, but if we had chosen to go there, I can't imagine the shuttle service being efficient. We only took the shuttle once at 5:30am to catch a train to Rome, to catch a bus to Pompeii, and arranging the shuttle was annoying b/c there is only 1 person driving the shuttle and they had to call his personal cell to see if that time was okay with him. How accommodating, right? Gonna be a no from me. Won't be giving them my business again.

One of my favorite features was the lobby bar, which was a great place to unwind in the evening.

I was especially lucky with my room--it was huge, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Waking up to that view each morning was a real highlight of my trip. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended if you're visiting Frascati!

The room includes multiple spaces for luggage and unpacking clothes. The journey by taxi to the hotel from Roma Termini was about 30 minutes around 1750 (eur 25) and to FCO Airport 22 minutes around 0700 (eur 50). One item to know is that the bathroom door is translucent glass. An early riser could disturb a late riser. I ate the breakfast (EUR 14 or included in the rate), and it was very good. We found a pleasant bar 10 minutes walk from the hotel, Giovarruscio Ennio, V.le Città d'Europa, 837. The aperitivo snacks are good. We drank Negroni (10) and Campari with soda (6). Another 5 minutes further is Bistrot 4.5, Via Amsterdam, 140, for a pleasant dinner. These are good places to know if you want to get out of the hotel. , We recommend this hotel, and we would stay here again.

It was extremely salty, but take that with a grain of salt because I have been living in Germany for 6 years now and I might have become used to the lack of salt and sugar in their food...so it might not have been as salty as I tasted? Who knows but that is one observation I had that warrants alarm. Otherwise, I have nothing but tremendous things to say about this place. We slept very well in an extremely comfortable bed with a firm pillow. No flimsy pillows that are typically found in European hotels. Check-in and check-out took a bit longer than usual, but we were patient and waited and it was worth it. The service in all accounts was impeccable. We checked in with Yelp and saved an additional 12% off our total bill! The off-season rates were more than 60% off, per night. It was great! Upon arrival, the restaurant was closed and our room wasn't ready, so they offered to make us a sandwhich. It was so nice. Later, we waited in a beautiful panoramic seating area with a view of the water and ordered a bottle of wine. They served us while we waited for our room. It was nice to unwind after driving. The rooms were smaller than expected but the view is amazing! The windows have shutters and black-out drapes so total darkness is acceptable. The toilets have a bade' and were somewhat awkward to step out of but we made do for the few days. A train is available from Castel Gandolfo, a very short walk to the middle of the old town which is simply charming! Its a hidden walkway going down a dark windy garden, but its convenient to get to Rome without having to hassle with driving. We took the train daily and it was super easy to navigate because you walk on once and 40 mins later, you're at the main Rome Train stop. We will most definitely stay here again and again and again. If I remember anything else, I'll update my review. This hotel is just charming, large, and beautiful.
