Ruby Giulia Hotel Rome

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel. Very well located."

Hotel Quirinale

8/10 Good

"We reserved a higher tear room, but we’re assigned a second floor main Street unit that Was very loud. The air conditioning Was off this time of the year and it Was I Not a Very Cold Night so we had to ask for additional fans. On the second Night. We finally were moved to a quieter bigger room but still the AC did not work. This is my second time in this property, but I probably won’t be there back. Again."
