Amazing stay near Circus Maximus

helpful staff great coffee excellent location comfortable bed

I appreciated the staff's readiness to help with taxi arrangements. The hotel provided great coffee and snacks in the room, a nice touch. The location next to Circus Maximus allowed for easy exploration. The comfortable bed ensured a good night's sleep, and I slept VERY well.

I could overhear some noise from adjacent rooms. More soundproofing would be useful.

very nice kindness great location quiet interior bad condition shower cleanliness hostel room

The staff displayed very nice kindness. They kindly invited me to a new year's eve party. The location is great.. close to many things. The hotel has a beautiful and quiet interior.

The room was not in good condition. I noticed hairs on the walls of the shower. The shower was not sufficiently clean. The room seemed basic like a hostel room.

Really good Stay Near Historic Sites

prime location excellent restaurant comfortable bed friendly staff

The location was amazing, offering easy access to historical sites. I found several excellent restaurants nearby, including Ad Hoc for special occasions. The beds provided great comfort. The staff demonstrated superb friendliness and helpfulness throughout my stay.

I noticed very slight noise could be heard occasionally from neighboring rooms, which sometimes required a raised voice.

Service

Naomi and Sara at reception showed both a professional and amiable attitude. Their assistance contributed positively to my stay. The cleaning service maintained perfect standards throughout my visit. The provided coffee machine and electric kettle added convenience to my mornings.

Dining

8/10

Although the hotel did not serve meals directly, a breakfast cafe, 'Cafe Cafe,' offered great food and views of the Colosseum. This cafe was a brief ten minute walk away from the hotel. Biscuits and tea were available in the room daily.

Facilities

The hotel features well sized mirrors. The garden outside provided a peaceful atmosphere. The courtyard area offered a visually appealing space to unwind. The hotel is very quiet, so I could rest.
