Hotel is conveniently located between the transportation hubs and the area attractions. Staff is very friendly and helpful, the hotel is very up to date, clean and comfortable in regards to staying there for several days. Great restaurants all around especially those mom and pop hole in the wall places that have great food.I would stay there again. On the other side of things travelocity notes all I will be paying upon check out is the city tax of 7.50 euros per person per day (67.5 Euro) nothing about a 3% tip added on to the bill which jacked the bill up approx 30 Euros before converted into USD

Rome April 2025

A three day stay after an 11 day cruise. A great spot to wind down, central to the main railway station, metro and bus services. So, in essence just a short ride away from all the major tourist attractions. It is a modern establishment, great amenities, great food, and very helpful and friendly staff.

Overall the stay was ok. The hotel was pretty clean. Rooftop bar was closed for renovations. Breakfast Buffet that they push is overrated. Shuttle service is over priced , you are better off getting a taxi. Staff not very friendly and informative. For example, did not tell us about placing the card in a slot near the door for the electricity to work. Air conditioning did not work either. Room was so stuffy.
