Hotel locates at very safe and quiet Vatican area. It took 10 minute to walk to the Vatican Museums. Front desk people are very nice and helpful. SIT airport shuttle bus stops are only walking 5-6 minutes from the hotel.

Generally the overall experience was fine and the staff accommodating. Room was tight but acceptable. I needed to work on my computer which I needed to relocate to the eating area after breakfast was served as my suite table was really not a functional table to do business off.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall, I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—many attractions, restaurants, and grocery stores are within walking distance. I also really liked that it’s slightly away from old Rome, giving it a more authentic neighborhood feel compared to the busier, tourist-heavy areas. The room was comfortable and a good size for the price, and the breakfast offered a nice variety with options like bread, cheese, eggs, yogurt, and coffee. The hosts were very welcoming and made the stay pleasant. The only downsides were that the room facing the street could get a bit noisy at night (not really the hotel’s fault), and there are quite a few stairs to climb—though there is a small lift available. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Rome!

The hotel was conveniently located next to shopping, restaurants and in walking distance to the Metro. The rooftop bar had great views. The only negative is that there is no elevator on the ground floor, and the reception is on the 4th floor.

Amazing rooftop view. Metro pass is a must. 1/2 hour walk to Vatican (easy). Somewhat limited dining options in the area. Don't stay here if you're looking for the clubs. I enjoyed my nightlife on the roof.

Absolute Empfehlung

Das Personal ist super hilfsbereit und berät einem top. Auch Organisation von Taxis klappt einwandfrei. Die Dachterrasse ist ein Traum. Man kann vorab auch bei der Rezeption Getränke kaufen und sie dort geniessen. Zimmer geräumig. Aussicht in den Innenhof nicht berauschend. Aber wir waren ja zum schlafen dort. Das Hotel liegt ideal für Ausflüge zu Fuss oder mit der U-Bahn.

Great stay. Gym was closed

Great hotel. Over all excellent. Would have been five stars on condition but the gym was out of order owing to some water damage caused by previous guests. I wish I could give 3.75 stars out of 5 on condition because it was an issue for me but I didn’t think it was worth docking 2 full stars. The hotel is great and I have no doubt that I would have given a full 5 stars on condition had the gym been available. Condition was top notch otherwise. Would stay again

Properties located in a prime location. A lot of nice stores around. Close to all attractions. But going into the hotel reception is located on the fourth floor elevator you have to take a few steps up and the elevator only holds up to 2 people and barely has room for suitcases so if you’re travelling with large suitcases you will not fit. But otherwise staff is great and the service was great.

Nous sommes demeurés 3 nuits à l’hôtel. Gussepe fut très aimable et serviable. La vue du toit de l’hôtel est incroyable. Les lits sont confortables mais j’aurais pris 1 couverture plus chaude en extra. Nous avons eu des problèmes avec la toilette et l’hôtel l’a réparé rapidement. Gussepe a organisé notre transport pour notre prochaine destination. Ce fut très très apprécié. Très près du Vatican. Débit de la douche faible et la température variant par moment. Je recommande cet endroit.
