Can not comment on the guardian hotel, after walking for 20 minutes in 36 degree heat we got told there was no space for us and we got moved to their sister hotel, whilst the other hotel was nice and probably better I don’t see a world where it is acceptable for this to happen and then be told they were too busy to let us know in advance, the staff themselves were nice and helpful but the situation was poor

Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were modern and stylish. We found a wonderful restaurant right down the street. Centrally located to walk to Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps. The Tremini Terminal is a bit over a mile away where they also have shopping and a nice food court.

Loved this hotel! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Convenient location, only about a 12 min walk to Roma Termini. There is also a bus stop right across the street. In a nice and quiet area with plenty of good restaurants around.

Hotel stay was brilliant, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We did get woken up with the building work. So just be careful staying on the 4th floor at the moment. Other than that, couldn’t fault it

Perfect room for the weekend stay walking distance to most and the room was really clean. The only thing that let it down a bit on the last day there was a strange smell coming from the drain in the shower. Not that it was worth mentioning as we were leaving. Staff were really friendly and helpful would definitely book again

Overall a good stay and a nice hotel. Breakfast was good however the area to get food was small and too compact. Rooms nice and always cleaned very well.
Only problem we encountered was noise, 1 from air con and from the room above on 2 out of the 4 nights we stayed which was very frustrating and had to call reception 4 times. Good restaurants around area.
