The staff was amazing. So attentive and helpful. The room was clean. The only item that could be improved is that some parts of the hotel need some tender loving care. Overall. we were very pleased with our stay and the staff made it so we could learn more about Rome.

The hotel is located in a great location! Tons of shops and restaurants. Staff was helpful and kind. The only downside was how small the room was but I think for the area it was worth being squished for the 2 nights we were there. If you have a lot of luggage or need space maybe look elsewhere. The hotel is a little older but well kept. The rooftop is cute and has a full bar with snacks.

Room was well located…but very chaotic lobby. There were always a ton of people in front of the doors. My room was small, but delightful. Very clean, and fabulous balcony with gorgeous views and jasmine growing and scenting the air. I brought dinner back from the viral roscoli restaurant (straight across, which is why chaotic) and enjoyed on balcony with wine from grocery around the corner. Staff was very courteous and breakfast was really good…they have a coffee bar that a barista makes your request. I really liked the location, I walked everywhere, so can’t comment on proximity to public transportation. Took taxi from termini train, and it was 12 euros.
