The staff were really helpful and friendly, it has its own free parking which is a great benefit and is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood within walking distance of many sights and restaurants. However the part of the property we stayed in is a bit run-down and could use some updating. It worked for us (a family of 3) for the one night and I think would have worked for my spouse and I when we were fresh out of college.

Hotel was functional; bar facility poor; breakfast was average; swimming pool unusable due to lack of cleaning; paint peeling off ceiling in bathroom; no porterage assistance with steep steps and no ramp leading up to hotel entrance; however reception staff helpful with taxi requests.

The location is fantastic, easy to walk in and out of the city center. Staff are friendly and responsive. Parking is VERY limited but street parking (paid) seemed plentiful and at the time of my stay was $24 Euro per day (free Sundays). I stayed in the annex of the property not the actual villa and there seems to be a noise issue as I found the walls/doors very thin (and could hear all my neighbors, anyone in the hall, etc) and had responded to the initial question the website sends out when I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. The MOD had messaged me thru hotels.com about moving rooms, but I never received the message. By the time she saw me, the other room was not still available but I did appreciate the proactive handling the situation even if the app didn't relay the message (never received it, even at a later time).

The pictures of the interior of the hotel convey stateliness, but this is not a 4-star boutique hotel. It is an ageing property. Not shabby, but just old. The rooms have old paint and old fixtures and furnishings. (The room and the room safe were accessible with old-style keys rather than digital.) There was not enough horizontal space in the bathroom; I had to leave my shaving kit on the floor. We had to be re-located from our triple room when a terribly foul odour started coming from the air vent. The re-location was handled quickly, but we wondered why that had happened, and whether other guests had experienced it. The pool area provided a very welcome respite from the summer heat, but there was one day when the staff did not clean it. (We had the impression that the hotel was short-staffed.) The staff members we dealt with were all friendly, attentive, and hard-working. The concierge helped us with taxis and dinner reservations. The quality of the breakfast was average at best. The hotel is located a short walk from Porta Romana where we found a few good restaurants, cafes, and a nice gelateria. It was easy to figure out the bus routes into the centre of town. (Note to parents: fit adults may be able to walk all the way to the river and into the centre, but it's too far for young kids to walk.) Overall, our stay was pleasant. After a day among the crowds it was nice to retire to a quiet neighbourhood.
