Hotwire Hotel: Help ID 4* Rome Via Veneto $156

[Krixus]

Using the HOTWIRE link from this forum, I found the following 4-star listed for Rome, Italy and would like your opinion of which property this might be:

4-star Hotel in Via Veneto - Villa Borghese

USD 156.00/night

Star rating: 4-star

Check-in date: Sun, May 19

Check-out date: Thurs, May 23

This Hotel features the following amenities:

Free Breakfast

Free Internet

High-Speed Internet Access

And Has a Trip Advisor rating of 4.(0) out of 5.

What Hotel might this be? It seems like a good rate, could I go wrong with this?

The 'other site' comparison price is $270. Is it known where Hotwire gets this # from?

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The Gambrinus Hotel has previously been seen with this amenity set so that would be my best guess for this one.

The 'other site' comparison price is $270. Is it known where Hotwire gets this # from?

The crossed out rate is not for this specific hotel, but rather:

Savings based on median published rate we've found on leading retail travel sites in the last 24-48 hours for the same neighborhood, star rating, and stay dates.

Thanks! For the moment, we're staying with our backup hotel (Esposizione) which is much closer to things. The Gambrinus is OK, but a little too far from the sites. There are a few other possibilities based on the ratings, but too much risk that it would wind up being that one.
