Highly recommend A small,quaint hotel in a perfect location! You can walk to all the tourist areas or take short inexpensive taxi rides-we did both. Everyone at the front desk was kind and helpful.we ordered taxis with them that always showed up within 3-5 minutes. We hung out on the 6th floor deck where there is small bar. Ate at delicious restaurants and cafés within minutes of our hotel. Everything was very clean. Breakfast was ok. They had a typical Continental breakfast with some scrambled eggs, sausages, and bacon. The rooms are a tad small and one of the beds wasn’t that comfortable, I think they just need to replace the mattress. All in all I would definitely return to this place and highly recommend it.

“BETTER THAN WE EXPECTED”

Location of this hotel is great, right near the Vatican and only 20 - 30 minutes walking across the river to the other sights. We had a Studio apartment for three adults, which was located inside the hotel on the 2nd floor and it was better than expected, a good size, two single beds downstairs in the "living room" area and a double bed on a platform up above overlooking the living areas, but with curtains to close for privacy. There is a full kitchen in the apartment but they do not provide any amenities for it, i.e. a coffee machine but no coffee pods, you have to go to the shop to buy them. No washing up liquid, sponges or t-towels for washing/drying up. A washing machine but no detergent. No full set of cutlery, just odds and sods of knives/forks etc. Plenty of plates and bowls weirdly, only two cups with saucers and two glasses. No kettle, had to use saucepan to boil water for tea (brought my own T-bags, sugar etc and bought milk from the local shop as none provided). Nice shower room with good size shower, good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Toilet doubles as a bidet but water flow from bidet hole in toilet pan not strong enough to come up high enough for use as a bidet. Bucket of toiletries provided in sachet form, toilet rolls provided and changed daily, as were the towels and there were plenty of them, extra in top sink drawer. No flannels or wash cloths though. No ventilation apart from a tiny window too high up to reach to open. Two on wall TV screens, one up in the double bed platform area and one downstairs in the living room area., with a few English speaking channels, with Italian sub-titles. Quirky stairs up to double bed platform area, great for able body people but not so great for anyone with leg/knee issues or disabilities. There is a little ante area off the double bed platform area, with hanging rail and drawers etc, watch your head though, I banged mine several times (even though there are signs up there to warn you) as ceiling beam very low. Great lighting in the apartment, which is needed as no natural light from outside. Windows either tiny and too high up to look out (bathroom) or look directly onto a brick wall (kitchen) within a foot of the window. Safe in wardrobe, plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. Staff were amazing, couldn’t do enough for you, from the gentleman who picked us up at the airport, the Reception Guy, to the breakfast staff. Breakfast was really good, lots of choice, with an option of hot food as well (bacon, scrambled Egg & Frankfurter sausages). great coffee machine, fresh croissants, cakes. Great roof top area and bar with blankets for cooler evenings.

“Anniversary trip”

Friendly staff, great location and clean room. Within walking distance of all the sights, the coloseum was 45 mins away which is the furthest. Easy access to the Vatican and St Peters. Lots of restaurants close by and well priced. Good breakfast with choice of hot and cold food. Nice terrace on top… more

Friendly staff, great location and clean room. Within walking distance of all the sights, the coloseum was 45 mins away which is the furthest. Easy access to the Vatican and St Peters. Lots of restaurants close by and well priced. Good breakfast with choice of hot and cold food. Nice terrace on top of the hotel with views of Rome which you enjoy with a beer from reception. Recommend a room with a jacuzzi to relax after a day of walking. Would stay again.
