Great hotel

8.0

Arrived to this impressive hotel, managed to secure an early check in Albeit quite busy and had a long wait. Hotel room has everything needed for a comfortable stay, the air conditioning was amazing and much needed although the room was compact. Roof terrace bar is a great asset service was excellent however the food was mediocre. Breakfast was good and the staff were pleasant and accommodating. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to fellow travellers.

Very satisfying

8.0

The location is very convenient, and we experienced generally friendly service from the staff. Our room was satisfactory, and we would consider returning to this hotel on any future visit to Rome.

− The main disappointment was the breakfast, which felt too basic and not up to the standard expected of this hotel. Additionally, we experienced ongoing Wi-Fi disconnections on our first day. When we reported the issue, the staff member offered little assistance, and no alternative solution was provided. To make matters worse, the connection took much longer to restore than we were initially promised.

− Struttura non adatta ad attività e soggiorni business

Italienskt hotell med trevlig takterrass.

7.0

Italienskt hotell i utkanten av centrum men med liten trevlig takterrass där man kan äta något lättare/ta en drink. Vänlig personal. Bra bufféfrukost där personalen talar om för dig var du ska sitta ! 10 minuters gångväg till centralstationen.

− Rummet kändes något trångt och det saknades möjligheter att hänga av exemplevis en jacka vid ingången till rummet.
