This was our second time staying here and we were glad we chose it again. The location is great - less than a 10 minute walk to the main train station and to 2 of the hop on hop off bus stops. Lots of restaurants and shopping were right there. Our room was spacious and clean and a very good layout for a couple and an additional adult. The breakfast was fantastic every morning, and they packed a to go breakfast for us on the day we had to be at an early tour. If we ever return to Rome, we’ll stay here again.

Hotel itself is good, staff was helpful. Rooms were decent. Shower water pressure was abysmal and the shower head couldn’t swivel properly. The area around the hotel felt unsafe and dirty. Overall experience was good.

This was our second time staying at this hotel. The location is within walking distance to the Fountain, Spanish Steps, and even the Colosseum, although it is a little farther from some attractions. On the plus side, it is very close to the train station, which is the main reason we chose it. The hotel is clean and spacious. We stayed with three kids in a family room, and it was very comfortable with plenty of space. If you don’t mind walking about 15–20 minutes, I would recommend this hotel. There are also several restaurants and shops nearby, so finding food is convenient. Overall, the area felt clean and safe.
