excellent location friendly staff breakfast charge tourist tax

the hotel's location is excellent, it is very close to a bus station. it makes getting around the city super easy. also, it is about a fifteen-minute walk from the trevi fountain. the staff were amazing, they were friendly and helpful.

i was disappointed that we were charged for breakfast again at checkout, even though we asked if it was included. also, we had to pay a tourist tax to the hotel, which i understand, but we were not informed prior to arriving.

poor breakfast poor wifi

The location is excellent. The main attractions were a short walk away. The metro was also nearby for destinations further away.

I was disappointed with the breakfast (the selection was very limited). The WiFi was quite poor. It made it difficult to plan my itinerary for the next day.
