Highly recommend. The staff is incredibly friendly, multi-lingual and gave good recommendations around the area. It was in good walking distance to all that you want to see, but not in a heavy traffic area. I would stay in this hotel again.

We had a mostly lovely stay at The Guardian Hotel. On arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with a free room upgrade, which was a great start. The room itself was spotlessly clean, and the hotel overall was well maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even bringing us an iron when we asked. Breakfast was also a highlight – fresh, tasty, and a good variety to choose from. There were a few small drawbacks: the walls are very narrow, which made noise late at night and early in the morning. Our shower kept switching between hot and cold, which wasn’t ideal, and the fridge in the room didn’t work, which was a bit inconvenient.

Great Location Nice Service

Great hotel. First it is a great location, really easy to walk to across Rome or a short taxi. The rooms are pretty nice size when you get a family room, A/C is super cold and works great, which is important for Rome in the Summer! Breakfast was also fantastic, really good food. I appreciate the gluten free extras for family members that have to eat gluten free. All around a great spot. Small hotel, but nice sized rooms, and very modern.

Two night family stay in Rome

Location wasn’t too bad - 20+ min walk to main tourist attractions of Rome. Some restaurants in the immediate area but not a great deal of choice. Rooms were clean and well serviced but we did have to put up with some construction noise on our floor. Good breakfast but no water or ice available at any other time of the day. Rooftop bar was a lovely setting but quite expensive.
