Great hotel convenient for metro & sightseeing
The room was really comfortable and quiet with a balcony area. Spacious bathroom - staff made up the room daily. Restaurant on site. 2 mins walk from a 24 hr supermarket and 5 mins from Cipro metro. Two things to be aware of - there are no coffee making facilities in the room and TV can only be hooked up via airplay/screen casting. Lots of free movies available though. Would definitely stay again.

6/10 Good

I stayed for 2 nights and was excited to enjoy the wellness area. I messaged ahead before booking to check that the steam room was working (after reading other reviews) and was assured it was. It wasn’t working and the hygiene in the wellness area is not up to standard. Only one toilet cubicle for women and only one towel offered meaning nobody was using towels in the sauna!! Except me. The area is also not staffed so there is no one to offer any assistance or service. My room was never serviced during a 2 night stay which is very disappointing at this price point. Next time I will stay in a boutique hotel in Trastevere or the historic centre. Reception staff were lovely though and are the redeeming quality of this hotel.

The metro is very close down or up the hill where some local stores are! The staff was amazing and allowed my family to check in early with no issues after a day in half travel from the US! They also upgraded my room just because! Beds were extremely comfortable and my 4year old loved the tv channels in Italian, English and the arcade games in the restaurant! Great hotel chain and I will be looking for this hotel chain anywhere else we travel! The owners and CEOs must take good care of their employees because they are very nice! I recommend this stay again!

Fun and Funky Hotel with a Great Location
This hotel was very clean and I loved the funky atmosphere. My one complaint would be the service in the restaurant, especially the coffee machine and espresso bar. It was never clear if you should approach the barista, and when you did he was very curt and always seemed mad. Supposedly, you were to sit at a table and wait for the waitress to order coffee for you, but it took forever to do that. The espresso machine was always breaking down, and had horrible tasting milk. The esresso bar had better coffee and milk, but took forever. The breakfast choices were AMAZING, but often the hot fod, like eggs, bacon, sausage, etc... was cold. This hotel is located right near a Metro stop, and not too far from the Vatican, making it a great location.
