The breakfast and coffee were wonderful! We had to catch an early bus and the staff made a to go breakfast bag for each of us including a bottle of water. The staff was friendly— the room was very clean and inviting and it was quiet in the evenings. We loved being close to the central metro station as well. Would recommend!

We stayed for one night and were very pleased with our accommodations. The mattresses are firm, the room clean and the breakfast was delicious. Easy walk to Termini and a less busy street to unwind in the evening. Thanks!

The hotel was a bit tired and not quite up to star rating. The redeeming feature was friendly, polite and helpful staff. The room was a bit noisy, looking out into Aircon units. We tried to move but there were no options available. The bed wasn't the most comfortable but clean.

Breakfast was great, staff were friendly, unfortunately the elevator was very loud and heard down the hall. Also the walls of the rooms are very thin and sound easily passes through. Location is very close to the Rome train terminal which is helpful but a good hike from all attractions. Lastly ran out of hot water very quickly so we had to boil water in the included kettle for any baths.
Good hotel, but definitely not worth the price.

We had an amazing room with huge terrace. I arrived around 11 am and was ready be told “too early” or “need to pay extra for early check in”. But the room was ready to check in early without any extra fees!
Great experience with very friendly ladies at the front desk !

The customer service was excellent, very friendly. The staff was able to book a taxi to the airport which was very convenient. Also we were able to buy Hop on, hop off tickets at front desk.
The breakfast was served on time, freshly baked croissants and other pastries. Good variety of foods.
