Guest review summary
What guests liked
Breakfast was good, plentiful, and abundant with a variety of options. (8 reviews)
I travelled out to this area of Rome to do the local parkrun, which is less than 10 minutes walk away from the front of the hotel.
The hotel itself is dated in design, however spotlessly clean and comfortable.
Shower cubicle is a bit on the small side but space is at a premium in the cosier rooms.
Staff were friendly and accommodating.
Train station was 10 mins walk away with frequent connections.
Would definitely recommend to any parkrun tourists who don’t want to travel from the city centre in the hotter months.

Quiet, clean, and well-ordered. We appreciated the recommendations and answers to our questions from the gentleman at the front desk.
Convenient to the train station, as the gentleman at the front desk explained, we took the train to metro to travel to anything we wanted to see in Rome. A/c was lovely and cool and our room was so quiet we could hear the birds in the morning.
Nice breakfast with coffee, fruit, several protein options as well as yogurt and cereals. We ate well to fuel a day of exploring Rome.

Excellent and very helpful staff. Convenient location. Visited all the sights in Rome. The room/bathroom was not spacious according to American standards but manageable. Very well maintained property. Enjoyed our stay.

Friendly staff, boring breakfast & noisy elevator
Very friendly staff and decent rooms. Brealfast is a little boring, but with some options, so you won't leave hungry. I had a room next to the elevator, which made a loud humming noise when used. This woke me a couple of times in the night and in the mornings.

It was a perfect stay for our purposes! Everything in good working order, clean space, comfy beds. Loved it! The only thing was that the eggs were always cold at the breakfast, even when they’d just brought new ones. Maybe it’s a cultural thing though? Either way, a small, minute detail that didn’t change the great experience we had!

mediocre review for mediocre hotel.
Problems with room and tardiness in corrections leads to my low rating. Shower drain was slow leaving standing water during shower to contaminate feet. Air conditioning was really bad and nights were hot so that we could not sleep well. I asked for an offset to our charges, but was ignored by management. I would have left a good review if we were made whole for the defects. But we were ignored and no response was forthcoming. Front desk personnel were very courteous and helpful overall in calling for taxis and more. Bed comfort mediocre.

I'd stay here again
The shower is unnecessarily small. I say lose the bidet & make the shower twice the size. Also, i woke up at 3am sweating but i had the a/c on. Not sure what it's for exactly. The electronic shutters were cool. Ended up sleeping with the window open & that was much better. I would recommend staying here in October.

The front desk person is available 24/7 however it feels like you don't have privacy. For me it was very inconvenient the fact that you have to leave your key with them if you are going out and pick it up every time you came in.
