All ok ok. Weird alarm on both nights- rooms are not soundproof. Room needed a rug- just too bare. Breakfast was good. It's not the most lively place. I did like that they had a kettle in the room. That was probably the nicest thing for me.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (641 reviews)

Great location in the heart of Rome. Most major attractions are within walking distance — about 25 minutes to the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon, 10 minutes to the Spanish Steps, and around 35 minutes to the Colosseum (or 15 minutes by metro). The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and our room was cleaned and the bed made every day. The hotel is clean, well presented, and located on the second floor. The shower was spacious and we appreciated the free water dispenser with reusable bottles provided. Breakfast is simple but enough to start the day. The only minor issues were that the ground floor buzzer didn’t seem to work on arrival, and the underside of the decorative bed runner had a stain. Overall, a comfortable stay in a very convenient location.
