This will save you time and money

A well-located hotel, just a short walk from Termini and major sights. The basic double room was stylish yet compact, making it more suited for minimal luggage. Cleanliness was exemplary with daily housekeeping. The rooftop bar offers a decent spot to unwind, although the breakfast area can get crowded. A convenient choice!

Rooftop bar with views of Rome, modern and well-designed rooms, high-speed WiFi access

The small breakfast area causes crowding!!! Inconsistent water temperature in showers leads to uncomfortable bathing experiences!!! Room sizes can be misleading, making stays feel cramped!!!

It was just a great match for a quick layover in Rome with very good value for money. The rooftop bar was nice, though the drinks were quite expensive. Consider exploring nearby dining options for better value.

delicious breakfast

stunning views

lacking facilities

We had an amazing time enjoying breakfast each morning with a variety of delicious options, which kept our kids happy and fueled for the day. The rooftop bar was a highlight too, offering stunning views of the Rome skyline.

For dads, it would be great to have a coin laundry on-site for easier packing with kids.

The location of the hotel was good, and it

was easy to access public transportation. The breakfast had decent options, but it could have been more varied. I appreciated the attentive staff, though the bathroom amenities were rather basic for a hotel in this price range.

easy transport

The location is perfect, with easy access to transport. Loved having WiFi for planning day trips. The room had good air conditioning and a cozy vibe, which made exploring the city much easier. Plus, the 24-hour desk support was a lifesaver!

Felt it like being home, no complaints whatsoever.

room cleaning issue

Had an awesome time with friends! We loved exploring sights like the Colosseum and Vatican City, all within walking distance. The breakfast was great, and having a mini-bar was a fun touch. The staff was super helpful, and the rooftop views were stunning. I’d highly recommend checking out nearby restaurants like Andrea's Trattoria.

We faced some issues with room cleaning on two days, and that was a bit disappointing.

Awesome spot, just pricey drinks!

I had a solid stay here! The location is super convenient for food and transport. My room was comfy, but the rooftop bar was a bit of a letdown with wrong orders and crazy-priced drinks. Breakfast was okay, with decent pastries and average coffee. The staff were friendly and always helped out when needed.

I adored the serene courtyard where I enjoyed my morning coffee in peace. The modern décor was not only stylish but also made it easy for me to navigate the hotel comfortably, enhancing my overall experience.

A more spacious breakfast area would be beneficial.

The rooftop bar offered stunning views of the skyline, making for an enjoyable evening. The staff provided excellent service, always friendly and attentive to our needs.

The location, while quieter, isn't ideal for those wanting to be close to major attractions.
