Rare cruisemom42 Posted November 4, 2017 #26 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I second Albergo Cesari in Rome - their name just changed. Great location and good size rooms - lovely roof deck for breakfast too! https://www.9-hotel-cesari-rome.it/fr/ Just a heads-up, I used the link above to check room rates at Albergo Cesari for my next trip. The rate was good so I booked. I never select the nonrefundable price. Instead I selected the 10% "early booking" offer which is still very reasonable. So far so good. When I got my electronic confirmation, it shows that I had been booked with the nonrefundable rate. :mad: I emailed immediately and am awaiting a response. Hopefully they will correct the problem, as they should... Just be aware and always check your confirmation to be sure it's accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted November 4, 2017 #27 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Another vote for the over and above Hassler in Rome and the equally wonderful Arts (especially on the club floor) in Barcelona. We never only stay one night anywhere and enjoy the luxury of the ship on land as well. The Arts, our number one hotel in Barcelona. We will be doing the club floor for the first time on our next trip after four times in regular rooms, which are great also. Can't wait to go back. :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfb Posted November 4, 2017 #30 Share Posted November 4, 2017 In Rome, it's always been Hotel Canada for us! I believe that we completed our 5th stay this past May. We like it for the family run atmosphere, the large rooms and bathrooms, the included breakfast buffet, and the close proximity to the Termini and subway. And if you are an avid walker, all the major attractions are within walking distance. More than a hop and a skip, but close enough for a brisk stroll. http://www.hotelcanadaroma.com/en/ Seconding!

Genoabay Posted November 4, 2017 Author #31 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Thank you all. Wonderful suggestions/recommendations for both cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted November 4, 2017 #32 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Be ready to be pampered every time you enter the Club. I am sure. Nothing better than the clubs at the Ritz. Just too much money sometimes for us. Would stay all the time if we could. :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChappChapp Posted November 5, 2017 #33 Share Posted November 5, 2017 In Rome we love The Eden. Just went thru a total renovation, near the Spanish Steps. In Barcelona The W is beautiful or as the locals call it simply" Bella ". And we also like the Majestic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbycat Posted November 5, 2017 #34 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I have not found a hotel in Barcelona i like, but in Rome there are some great ones. If you are travelling off season, The Inn at Forum is amazing. I cannot say enough good things about it. And the location is great too!

newlondon Posted November 10, 2017 #36 Share Posted November 10, 2017 LHT28, Right answer but if you actually try it the hotel is not posted until 30 days before embarkation. I know I wish to choose before that. I second the Arts in BCN and would choose the Bernini in Rome for a combo of location and price; not cheap but near lots.

Some itineraries you can look at the link online & click hotels it will give you the ones they use along with pricing here is one for May as an example https://www.oceaniacruises.com/Mediterranean-cruises/rome-to-venice-RVA180517/hotels/?sr=%2fcruise-finder%2f%23destinations%3dmediterranean option #2 ask your TA or Oceania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlondon Posted November 10, 2017 #38 Share Posted November 10, 2017 My bad, the hotel for us is the Hotel Petri in Copenhagen. Too expensive, we will use points and stay at the Marriott which we love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a bit away from the masses in the tourist area. It is near the Gaudi sites, with upscale residential, with good shopping and excellent local restaurants.

colombiangirl Posted November 13, 2017 #40 Share Posted November 13, 2017 We stayed at the Catalonia Barcelona Plaza in September and loved it. The rooms were very nice, spacious and well equipped. The location at Plaza España was perfect for transportation, shopping and dining. Also, there's a beautiful roof top bar and pool that has killer sangria. Breakfast is included and was delicious.
