Bathroom fixtures were quite nice and breakfast set up was very relaxing/accommodating.
Air conditioning was not adequate in guest rooms.
We enjoyed the hotel location - easy to train, subway, Colosseum. Lobby was small but nice. Breakfast service on a roof atrium was very pleasant. WiFi service was hard to use as a new password was required every 20 to 30 minutes. Since we had to move hotels to obtain two beds in the room, it was not a pleasurable stay. The hotel was very helpful in moving us to a sister hotel with the two beds. But the sister hotel was of much lesser quality. read more

Location to the best places in historic Rome.
Courtesy transportation means that it costs to travel from airport to hotel - deceptive.
Transportation from airport to and fro was not courtesy. Rude employees. Would not recommend it to anybody but worst enemy. Elevator was out the whole time of stay which necessitated climbing stairs for the disabled traveler this was very strenuous.

Location and cleanliness. The breakfast is good too.
The room was extremely small and the staff told us they would put our luggage in the room but left it in the lobby all day.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Once they upgraded our room, we were very happy. It's close to the train station.
The initial room they assigned us was terrible. The room and the bed were too small.
Initially, we were very disappointed because the room and bed were ridiculously small. Once we complained, we were moved to a nicer room with a queen bed.

One Maid and the bell boy were helpful.
Overall condition was not good, breakfast was bad.
The hotel has an excellent location but that is about all. The staff are smug and haughty people who think the guest is mostly a nuisance. The coffee is cold at breakfast, the scrambled eggs are very cold and repulsive.

It was close to the train station and easy to get to.
They would not give me a receipt and they charged me an extra 80 euro to stay there, claiming I only booked for 4 people instead of 6.

Close to the sites.
Simple, everything.
The hotel is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It's not a 3 star hotel and definitely not worth the money. The towels smelled like vinegar and the shower was horrible. The beds resembled something more of a cot and what you would find at any boot camp barracks. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my life.

The location was fantastic.
The original room we were put in had a strange smell but the staff quickly moved us to a different room and the whole stay was fantastic!
Fantastic location and great price!
