Very close to train station. Great rooftop bar for breakfast, dinner and drinks overlooking the church. Considering smaller size of hotel and lack of facilities I would say this is overpriced but the hotel was clean, staff were friendly and the location is convenient

Clean and modern rooms, lovely breakfast, beautiful view from the roof terrace. Very friendly staff. Only complaint was the bar music, which was quite loud after 10pm. We were on the 4th floor right next to the stairs, so it may have been quieter in other rooms. I would stay here again.

Walkable to many attractions and Roma Termini, the main train station. Nice rooftop restaurant although pricey. Room was small with no place to sit other than the bed. Nice bathroom. Courteous staff. I'd skip the breakfast buffet as better and less expensive options are plentiful.

Few hits and misses

Check in was easy and the hotel held our bags until check in. Room was clean. Few things missing: hair conditioner and lotion. Also the first night we were there the music from the top floor was extremely loud and the hotel staff relied with "what do you want me to do I'm just trying to do my job and we can't change your room. The music should be over in 30 minutes." Rude. If you book this hotel hopefully you are not on the fourth floor. Location was great, however. Walkable to every major attraction

Close to Roma Termini train station which was nice. The room was very spacious but definitely needed some paint and care around the hotel. Nice layout with a separate dressing area. Bed was comfortable and staff were attentive. Our room was on the fourth floor and the terrace restaurant was on the fifth so nights we had to go to sleep early it was noisy. Other than that it was a good hotel.

Disappointing

We stayed here in April of 2025 We had unseasonably warm weather and we were unable to keep the room cool as the air conditioning was controlled by the front desk. We had 5 visits to our room during a 2 night stay from Maintenance Staff to try to fix the problem. Staff was grumpy towards us It was not an enjoyable experience
