We absolutely enjoy this place and it is the only place my sister and fam stay while in Rome. Great location. Very good breakfast. Excellent coffee, cappuccino, and pastries.
Ask for a room by the garden. Otherwise you will face the street and if you are familiar with any European city, the road is right outside the front door with cars zooming by at all hours. Our room was extremely quiet to the point I wondered if there was anyone else in the hotel.
The breakfast was excellent. Fresh eggs, sausages, pastries and plenty of them.
The beds are firm and very low, but there was no pressure points at all. Comfy fluffy plush pillows and I slept better here than at home.
The rooms are totally decorated the European way so, bed, armoire, nightstands, bidet, shower only. No tub but no prob. Some of the rooms have a tub, I am told.
We had no problems at all with the staff, in fact they are extremely helpful. In the bar, which connects to the dining room, you are served fresh cookies and other snacks. You will have to ask for ice if you are used to having that in your drinks.
Our rooms were cleaned every day, toiletries such as shampoo, lotion, shower caps, and a little package of q tips and cotton balls were replenished daily. Everything was and did smell fresh.
Our experience was the total opposite of the other reviewers here and we were here at the exact time of one of the reviewers. We had no glitches whatsoever and the stay passed with no problems for the entire week. NONE. There is staff that does not understand much English, but I think it was my fault for asking where is the ATM instead of bank, and then trying to inquire as to where is the @ sign on the keyboard was a challenge, but who cares? No need getting knickers in a twist. I don't want to give America a bad name by complaining about next to nothing.
It is very quiet on the courtyard side, and as for the reviewer who said it was boring, go make your own fun sweetie. This is a hotel not a circus.
No one smoked in the hotel at all nor did our room (240) smell like smoke. read more
