Great location

Amazing location. Easy to get to every where. Room was small but adequate. Very friendly and helpful staff. Can’t fault them. Only down side. Only one socket in the room if you want to charge your phone you need to switch off the fridge

Our initial check in was friendly and helpful... unfortunately it all went down hill from there. The TV did not work, the plug in the bathroom sink would not release to drain. The room was extremely small and the tiny cubicle set aside for showering was even smaller. We are average sized people and my husband's shoulders almost spanned the size of the cubicle making it very difficult to shower. Numerous emails regarding the TV and the sink were met with a damn good ignoring. The lovely gentleman that was there to clean the rooms eventually got it going on our last day. We weren't in Rome to watch TV, but at the end of a super busy day it would have been nice to relax and watch a movie. Some acknowledgement to our emails would have also been appreciated.

Overall, a good location. However the room is very small. Especially the shower is extremely small. When you shower, the water comes out and makes the floor wet. The room is very small with only a little bit space to move. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. They stored our luggage after checkout.

The staff at the suites were very kind and location was very nice. However the hotel room was horrible. The room was dirty and dusty, the air con was incredibly cold and it was a battle just to get to water. The water was cold during the day and hot at night. This was a problem for both showering and drinking water. The rooms had no sound proofing so you could hear everything happening in other rooms or hear people coming in during the night. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable.

Walk or bus around Rome

We stayed for 5 nights and initially had some issues (double rather than single beds, TV not working & no curtains) with the first room we were given. However as soon as we communicated the problem the next morning, Christopher was at our door within 5 minutes. We were offered a different room which was smaller but cosier and suited us perfectly. The location, behind Castel Sant'Angelo, was great with buses running regularly close by to all parts of Rome including the shuttle to the airport. This is not a hotel, just rooms in a lovely building but perfect for anyone who needs a clean, comfortable place to sleep in a quiet neighbourhood.

The reception guy told me 'must to talk in italian we're in Italy'. It was the only thing i remember staying in this place. I had to check out by myself because there was not a reception desk, only a phone, no one answer to my call.

Room like brand new! Cleaned daily with extremely comfortable bed & TV with so many channels (Mostly Italian). Really enjoyed my 7 night stay, 1min walk from airport shuttle bus and walking distance to many historical sites. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing, comfortable vacation in Rome.
