Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
the mattresses need replacing because they are uncomfortable; should be more variety at breakfast; and the air conditioning doesn't cool the room enough. the staff is very attentive -especially the Cuban gentleman at the entrance- and the area is safe and perfect for walking to the Vatican, with may restaurant nearby the hotel price is good.

The hotels location is excellent for tourists. The Vatican was 5min away by walking. There were several restaurants and stores nearby. The hotel was very clean but an old funny elevator. Buffet breakfast was the beeest however didn’t start until 7:30am which in my experiences; hotels tend to start breakfast as early as possible considering tourist want to go out early. I requested and iron for my clothes and they didn’t have one available. Staff was very kind they even gave us a map and explained to us how to use transportation safely. We came back late at night and felt safe in this neighborhood. Also, best Gelateria is located on block down the street toward the Vatican. I really recommend you staying in this hotel!

A traditional Roman hotel with nice, clean rooms and Sky TV (Italian with some English channels). Breakfast was basic, but ok with a selection of breads, pastries and fruit/yoghurt. The hotel was ideally situated for the Vatican City, St Peter’s and other Rome attractions with easy walking distance. Staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Would definitely use the hotel again if in Rome.
