All the personel at the hotel were fantastic. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is old and all the furniture is old, but it is clean and the location is great. It makes you feel nostalgic about the past. It is located near every important site in Rome. The price of the room is very good. I recommend this hotel for everybody that don t want to spend to much money and want to be near the center of Rome in a clean and safe place. I think it was a good choice.

Acceptable but I wouldn’t stay there again.

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.

The furniture in our room was broken. There was no gym as advertised on the Expedia website. Our room was very small and crowded. There was a terrible smell coming out of the bathroom. We were only given one key and the only way to lock the room was with it, I did not feel safe leaving someone in the room with the door locked, it’s a fire hazard. I called Expedia immediately and spent a lot of time trying to try to switch and because I prepaid I am still trying to get my refund .

I felt a bit unsafe with only a wobbly key lock on my door and no fob for the front door but the front desk staff are there 24hours a day and ensure no one enters who isn’t checked in. House keeping does a good job. There is no dust and everything is clean. It’s an old building though that needs upgrading. Bedroom wallpaper was peeling and had a mildew smell. The bidet had a sink faucet and the sink had a bidet faucet!

The property was not well maintained. The first room we stayed in had ants comimg out of the bath tub, sink and wall. We asked to move and they sent someone to "clean" the ants which was a sysphian task as there is defintely a colony in the wall. Ultimately on day two we asked to be moved again and they agreed. There was one light switch to control your room. The tub we had had grime and rust over the jets. The cleaning services did there best but you are renting a room that has not had appropiate maintenance or remodeling. The second room we stayed in was much improved which would have been hard not to as we moved from a room with bugs to a still semi-functional, poor motel room. Again one light switch for the main room and one for the bath. This room had only a shower but still had peeling wall paper. There was no air conditioner in the second room and the refrigerator does not work - our infant's milk spoiled. There were holes in the door to the bathroom. While staff were friendly and breakfast was adequate, we have stayed in cheap motels that were better maintained and offerred more than this "four star" hotel. To add insult to injury, cancellation fees would have been for two nights totaling more than 700 Euros. Please stay somewhere else in Rome. The location is not worth cleaning ants off your clothes and the poor quality.
