Lovely and quiet hotel located on a busy road. We stayed here for two nights and traveled to Rome…read moreduring the day. It's about 40 minutes (without traffic) but can easily be 1-2 hours away from downtown Rome and the Vatican. Still, a more affordable and quieter option.
The outside of the hotel is charming, with a garden courtyard and fountain. On our first night here, we watched the sun set from the roof. Very beautiful!
The lobby is not small, but not incredibly large. It's decorated with a few antique pieces which was kind of neat. The front desk attendant was nice and patient with our large group. He gave each person the room keys and after hopping on the elevator, I realized that my room was on the first floor. If you can, ask for a room on an upper floor as the first floor is located close to the lobby. My room wasn't outdated and was large for one person. I'm not going to lie, I felt a little creeped out by myself, but nothing terrible happened. There is A/C, a TV, a nice, clean bathroom with bidet, shower, and toilet. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but I made do. I would leave the room key with the front desk so you don't have to carry it around.
There is a large dining room where breakfast and dinner were served. The dinner was so much food! But everything was delicious, from the pasta, to salad, to entree. I didn't care too much for the dessert though.
All in all, a good stay. It's nothing fancy, but it's quiet away from all the craziness of downtown Rome and I loved all of the quirky bits found throughout the hotel. Oh and there's wifi and it's high speed!
