Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is beautiful but with some drawbacks. The rooms are cramped and the view is not pleasant with laundry and garbage visible, plus a smelly and stained room. Breakfast is not impressive. On the positive side, the room is actually a triple with an extra bed. Service was good, especially with helpful tips on using the 'it Taxi' app for cabs. The location is convenient near Termini station, though the area seemed rundown and unsafe at night. Dining was just okay, with limited food in plastic ware.
The hotel had lovely and spacious rooms, but we encountered hundreds of ants all over, especially in our food, which was quite unpleasant. The service was very nice and helpful. The location was not ideal as the area seemed rundown, especially after 7 pm, with safety concerns and a lot of homeless people around. The dining options were minimal, with mostly custard-filled croissants and cakes. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, near the railway station and sights, but it made me a little nervous due to the problematic part of the city it's in. The service was friendly and helpful, offering valuable information about Rome. However, the rooms were not soundproof, and the layout was cramped with an extra bed taking up space. The dining experience was just okay, with limited food options in plastic bowls and cups.
