The hotels location was ideal for walking to everything Rome! The hotel desk service was so helpful and friendly. The breakfast on the rooftop was amazing!
Staff provided excellent service suggesting restaurants, attractions, etc. rooftop was beautiful. Breakfast was impressive as it was all inclusive. Rooms were very large considering it was in the heart of Rome and bathrooms were as well. The elevator was small, but it always worked!
The hotel staff was great, breakfast was well rated.
Do understand that that all buildings in Rome are older but the rooms were also as expected.
The location is very good, which is the reason we choose this hotel.
Beautifully furnished historic hotel close to everything in Rome. Staff were extremely helpful and kind, the room was clean and so lovely, the bathroom was huge and spotless.
It’s fine, nice property with a rooftop eating area and great views of the city in all directions. Staff were helpful. Our room did have some plumbing issues with the shower constantly changing temperature dramatically every few seconds (every shower for 4 nights and three family members) and a toilet that had difficulty flushing fully. But overall no real problems, would stay there again.

Hotel is in great location within walking distance
Great Spot close to everything but far enough away to avoid the crowds of tourists. Wonderful roof top terrace with a 360 degree view of Rome! In need of a little paint and polish but clean, and good value!

The hotel was located conveniently and within walking distance of many tourist locations. Our room faced the main street so was very noisy when the window was open. The room was clean and comfortable; however, the mattress on the bed was not very comfortable. Have never ate such hard bread and buns as at the continental breakfast. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
One of the main reasons I picked this hotel is that the description says it has a gym. It doesn’t have a gym and hasn’t for a couple of years. I always stay at hotels with fitness centers. This was a major disappointment. However, the breakfast spread was very good.

Great location, decent room, but AC needs improvement
The hotel is very well located, and the room (and bathroom) was just right for three people. Breakfast was good – the eggs were tasty and the watermelon was delicious!
The reason I didn’t give it 4 stars is because it was extremely hot during our stay, and the air conditioning didn’t work properly. With the heat wave, it was really necessary, and unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to keep the room comfortable.
Breakfast is included. It had a sitting room downstairs. Neat & clean. The room had no window in bathroom and the light was so high above the sink you couldn't see to shave or put on makeup. Shower was a little small for men. Hotel needs a little updating. The view from the rood was spectacular.
