My favourite experience

For my first night in Rome, it was a beautiful and pleasant experience. Delicious rooftop patio and they even give a four hour free bike ride for me and my wife enjoyed to the MAX. Definitely a great stay for your first time in Rome, especially if it’s with your wife. Stefano really took good care of us.

The room was nice but the wasps on the top deck restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner made the experience unpleasant.

The location was great. We just 4 blocks from the train station and we walked every except the Vatican which was a short Uber ride. For a reasonable fee we were picked up from the airport by a private driver that the hotel arranged for us. The rooftop restaurant/ bar was fun as well with amazing views. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great location

I found it difficult to find a suitable hotel in Rome city centre. The Major hotel located in great location, we could walk to the most of city attractions. It is also near Rome main statio, Termini. Rooms were really clean and good size very comfortable. The only issue we had was at the first night. Our room was right below rooftop restaurant. It was far too noisy. We moved to a quiter room next morning.
