The staff was very kind and was there right when I arrived. The area was great as it was in walking distance to the Vatican and other historical sites. However, it was quite loud at night.

Great location

Amazing location. Easy to get to every where. Room was small but adequate. Very friendly and helpful staff. Can’t fault them. Only down side. Only one socket in the room if you want to charge your phone you need to switch off the fridge

10/10 Exceptional

Room like brand new! Cleaned daily with extremely comfortable bed & TV with so many channels (Mostly Italian). Really enjoyed my 7 night stay, 1min walk from airport shuttle bus and walking distance to many historical sites. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing, comfortable vacation in Rome.

Had a mildew smell coming from the ?bathroom. Otherwise decent stay.
Alan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall, a good location. However the room is very small. Especially the shower is extremely small. When you shower, the water comes out and makes the floor wet. The room is very small with only a little bit space to move. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. They stored our luggage after checkout.
Siddharth, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

My room door could not lock from the outside, only the inside. This meant it was possible for others to access my room while I was out, should they wish to. Luckily nothing was stolen, but I felt very uneasy the entire time. I noticed staff immediately once I noticed the issue, and they were aware and this appears to be the case for all rooms. There is a code that guests use to access the building, so there is some security, and there are CCTV cameras around. But it’s also possible for other guests to enter your room while you’re out. If I had known this, I would not have booked.
Carla, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Water was boiling hot, did not find a solution with the hotel staff. The air condition was constantly leaking water The air condition broke down the last night For the rest, the stay was great
Irasema Lourdes, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff at the suites were very kind and location was very nice. However the hotel room was horrible. The room was dirty and dusty, the air con was incredibly cold and it was a battle just to get to water. The water was cold during the day and hot at night. This was a problem for both showering and drinking water. The rooms had no sound proofing so you could hear everything happening in other rooms or hear people coming in during the night. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable.
Maxwell, 4-night trip

Disappointed
Lucilia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Walk or bus around Rome

We stayed for 5 nights and initially had some issues (double rather than single beds, TV not working & no curtains) with the first room we were given. However as soon as we communicated the problem the next morning, Christopher was at our door within 5 minutes. We were offered a different room which was smaller but cosier and suited us perfectly. The location, behind Castel Sant'Angelo, was great with buses running regularly close by to all parts of Rome including the shuttle to the airport. This is not a hotel, just rooms in a lovely building but perfect for anyone who needs a clean, comfortable place to sleep in a quiet neighbourhood.
Lina, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Our initial check in was friendly and helpful... unfortunately it all went down hill from there. The TV did not work, the plug in the bathroom sink would not release to drain. The room was extremely small and the tiny cubicle set aside for showering was even smaller. We are average sized people and my husband's shoulders almost spanned the size of the cubicle making it very difficult to shower. Numerous emails regarding the TV and the sink were met with a damn good ignoring. The lovely gentleman that was there to clean the rooms eventually got it going on our last day. We weren't in Rome to watch TV, but at the end of a super busy day it would have been nice to relax and watch a movie. Some acknowledgement to our emails would have also been appreciated.

Thomas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff at check in was nice but we didn't see them again. This place does not have a front desk so they meet you at the door which is inside a building that was very hard to figure out. The building is not well labeled so we had to call to find out how to enter and if we were even in the right place. There is a great lack of amenities and the shower is the size of a coffin. Likely won't stay here again.
