Very clean room with good-sized bathroom.
excellent location - near termini station and within walking distance of most of the main sites.
good value.
Breakfast is fairly basic with limited choice, and the (breakfast) area is small.
lift was not always available, which while not a problem for me, might be a problem for older people as the hotel is on the third floor level.Sixsmith

Very clean room, friendly stuff at the reception, safe box, super location. i recommend this hotel because of that and good price ratio!We didn't suspected very rich breakfast, so it was ok,i don't know if this is negative for hotel. hotel reception is on the 3rd floor, but is easy too find. little bit dark room (nr.305), but romantic for the time we stayed there :) only 4 tables in the breakfast room, but we found a free table all days.Anonymous

Excellent location within 10 minutes of the historic centre of the city, clean, modern and elegant design within the hotel itself. reception staff very pleasant. actually very easy to find with a simple map. just head for the via nationale!The shared courtyard might not be to everyone's tastes, but we thought it added character. breakfasts are simple but plentiful. the lift to the 3rd floor is too small but constrained by the design of the building.Butler

Amazing choice of location as we were a 5-10 minute walk from anything we were interested in, the air conditionning was the biggest plus for a city like rome as it was well circulated and not to noisy. it meant no mosquettosOnly thing they could have improved on was to put a little bin near their hot drink maker so we could make the tea at the main table rather than at the one we were eating at, thats pretty much it!Anonymous

The hotel was in a great position, close to everything and the room was very neat and clean. the breakfast was also very nice just the essentials but worth it.Some staff members were not very helpful and my postcards were not mailed after they told me they would post them. they weren't very helpful in giving me information about getting to the airport and they seemed quite upset irritated that i was asking so many questions. they also didn't like the fact that i had a friend visit me at the hotel, they weren't staying, but they made it very clear that they did not want them to stay, they were very rude about it. i also had to change hotels when i first got there because there was a problem with my room, the other hotel was not close and they didn't offer to take me there, or make an attempt to call me at tell me that i had to move hotels. i found it very unprofessional. coming from a hotel background i thought they could have done much better with their customer services.Anonymous
