Mold between the shower doors, massive amount of dust in the shower vent. Shower itself OK but on the verge of breaking down. Street side very noisy even at night. Mini fridge needs to be defrosted, also noisy when trying to sleep. Bed/room was fine for the price. Wifi passwords on the door of the room don't work, use the one at the servicedesk. Great location, walking distance from coliseum and train station. Cleaning lady? Did my checkout but barely spoke English.

Tho only concern in this property is that their bathroom is too small. Anyone who weighs 200lbs will definitely not fit or be able to move inside the bathroom. (We booked a family room that sleeps 4, 2 adults 2 children).

Everyone was so friendly there. The main entrance was under construction, but that’s like everything in Europe. The front desk girls were amazing. They helped me out so much. Solo girl traveler felt very comfortable. Staying there at the location was great. Is it four seasons no. But it has a Lyft. It’s secure the lady who cleans the rooms did such an amazing job. I would recommend it!! The bed and the pillows were so comfortable💕

Worth the money we paid for.

The room is clean, staff were friendly, although the bathroom is a bit small but for the price we paid is just ok. It's near and accessible to most of the attraction, train station and restaurants. It's right at the centre of Rome. Highly recommended.

Good place to stay in Rome

Lovely, small hotel in a good location. Room was comfortable and well kept with daily housekeeping. Fridge and air con were good. Nice shower. Location good. Lots of restaurant options close by for breakfast/ dinner/ gelato/ drinks. Metro a few mins walk away (Vittorio Emanuele). It is a busy area so can be noisy outside. Staff very welcoming and helpful.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The only good thing about this place was the surrounding area. First of all, this is not a hotel—it’s just an apartment complex. Second, the room we were given looked nothing like the pictures. It was a tiny, cramped space—completely misleading. The shower was so small I could barely fit, there was no air conditioning, and the TV was a joke. Overall, it was very uncomfortable. Thankfully, we only stayed for two days. We were very disappointed and not happy with the experience at all. I won't trust this, said never again

Musty and smelled like cigarettes

The room was not as shown in pictures. TINY room that smelled like cigarettes. Poor ventilation with a loud air conditioner that was quite weak. It served it's purpose as a 1 night stay and was at a good location.

Really good location you can walk to the colloseum and Vatican and other big areas. Close to metros and main rome train station. Room was very tiny, and smelled like sewage in the bathroom. Check in process was bad we had to wait outside the door for 30 minutes and I think the front desk guy was busy or sleeping and we had to bang on the door and wait for 30 mins to get him to come to the desk. Great value for the price, you get what you pay for, would suggest this place for folks on a budget, without any expectations for a nice place, this can be considered a place to stay on a budget
