Unsecure, but otherwise good

Room was nice, very clean! However, the lack of any smoke detector displays some recklessness on the hotel's part. A simple fire would mean death by asphyxiation. Breakfast small, but fresh pastry. Good location.

Vacation in Rome

We had a super stay at this hotel. The room were clean and they cleaned the room every day. Good bed and comfort. Tv who we could stream from our phone on made our stay good. Breakfast nice. The staff friendly and serviceminded. The only minus is the old lift. Because the doors on the lift wasn’t closed by others and then it stayed at the floor it was last on. then we had to climb the stairs to the 4th floor… but we will stay here again on our next visit. Close to Termeni and many restaurants close by.

Business trip

A lovely quaint hotel with a grand entrance door and old traditional lift. If you prefer fancy branded large hotels with big receptions and large lounge areas with eating on site then this is hotel is not for you. Hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the main terminal station. Hotel is about 30-40 minutes drive from the airport - the hotel does do private airport transfers BUT you must book direct with hotel. Was 60 Euros from FCO and you pay driver directly - if you want to pay by card please ensure you request this at the time of the booking. You will also need to advise the hotel of your flight times to ensure the reception desk is maned at the appropriate times. Hotel is very clean, modern and fresh. The rooms were lovely, kept very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Rooms have a/c, nice large bathroom, in-room safe available and small fridge. Breakfast is continental and served directly in your room at your chosen time. We walked every where so ensure you have comfy shoes. Hotel does provide you a map on request. If you wish to visit any of the attractions these need to be pre-booked online. Even though this was a business trip, I would definitely stay for pleasure. There is a lovely restaurant/cafe place just yards from the hotel - does home made fresh pasta. I recommend the ravioli.

Good hotel option

We stayed in the hotel for just one night (our flight was leaving from Rome early in the morning). I liked almost everything about the hotel: location, service at the front desk, rooms, a concept of not being a typical hotel, etc, and would stay here again. However, we were here in June during the heat wave and the AC just couldn’t help with the heat, as hard as it worked. It was a very hot night. Not sure that’s the problem that can be solved (maybe different location of the AC until or a newer model) but i am recommending the hotel despite this. We were leaving too early to enjoy the breakfast.

Great place, near train station

Good location, close but not too close to the train station. People were helpful, and there is an excellent trattoria a few doors down, and cheap laundry service a block away. It made for the perfect week in Rome before a week in Abruzzo.

The room was spotless clean and with a fresh feel. Furniture was new and in good state. Bed was comfortable. WiFi was stable and provided good level of connectivity. Bathroom was reasonably large (which means larger than simply not cramped) and fully equipped (yes, also a bidet, Italian style, cherish it ye foreign traveller :-) ). Wide shower. Downside, the only of the whole stay: water flux was not great, unfortunately, so much that removing the soap was a somewhat lengthy affair. They opted not to have a breakfast room and bring the breakfast directly in your room. You opt for beverages the evening/night and you can choose among several items (not limited to just one choice, so that you do not feel at all pushed to make hard choices). Food is all on the sweet side such as jam, bread, croissant, Nutella(TM), butter and so forth. All you can ask for. Perfect for me, maybe less for people loving also some salty items. The system saves floor space to the owners and is really convenient, unless you are the kind of person liking to wander a buffet and loading several types of foods each trip. Not me, given also the fact that the provided food is more than enough for a good morning start. In your room you have a large dish that can accommodate your laptop and the breakfast tray at the same time, in case you wonder. The TV provides a large selection of channels, including some popular international services. Room was quiet. Location not central, but very near to Termini.

Not at all what I had expected

This would have been my second stay at this hotel. My first one was a week prior, and it was a good stay. However, when I arrived this second time, I was notified that there had been a leak in the room in which I was supposed to stay, and they had already booked me in another hotel. I was fine with that because a leak isn't their fault. Krishia was the young woman at the front desk, and she was very helpful. She walked me to the other hotel around the corner. Without going into a ton of detail, that hotel was a dump. I was thoroughly disappointed that I was booked into something that was of such glaringly less value and comfort than what I had booked. Seriously, it was bad. I ended up leaving and going to a new hotel of my own choosing. With all of this in mind, I don't think I would book a stay here again.

Quick overnight stay

I stayed here my first night in Rome. It is reasonably close (less than 2k) to the Tiburtina bus station, out of which I was traveling the next day. The room was comfortable and clean. It felt a little stuffy at night, yet I couldn't open the balcony door because there were mosquitos. A traditional Italian breakfast is delivered to your room at your time of choosing. It was a lovely touch.

Great little place close to Rome Termini

Lovely clean rooms providing a great base to explore Rome. Alfredo and his staff extremely helpful and happily changed our room for one with a larger shower with no fuse. Continental breakfast provided fresh to your room each morning. Would benefit from having a kettle in the room to enable tea or coffee making for those like us who appreciate a cuppa 😊

O hotel fica dentro de um predio antigo, com um elevador daqueles de gradinha. É apenas um dos corredores desse prédio no segundo andar. Ao chegar estranhei um pouco, pois foje dos hoteis tradicionais. Mas ao abrir a porta do quarto, vc se surpreende com um local reformado, agradavel, banheiro moderno, tudo muito limpo! O café é servido no quarto, no horario que vc escolhe! Fica à 10 minutos a pé da estação Termini, onde tem metro, trem para o aeroporto, taxi e varias lojas! Fomos muito bem recebidas.
