Poor Customer Service
I booked this hotel as it was labeled as a 4-star and quickly realized, upon arrival, that it was not the luxury hotel it purports to be. The front desk attendant must have been overwhelmed that day, because, he seemed frustrated and rushed the check in process. He handed us the keys and didn't explain anything about breakfast, WiFi, etc...the normal. I visited Rome, because, I had an event that night and of course there was no iron in my room. I returned to the front desk to obtain one and he informed me that they were all checked out for the day by other guests. If you don't have enough irons for every room why would you check them all out without collecting them back? When I asked for a solution he didn't seem to care about my dilemma and I felt dismissed. As a result I went to my event with wrinkled clothes. I went back to my room and attempted to wash my face and the soap dispenser fell apart in my hand. The hotel was about 10 minutes from the Colosseum though so that was a good thing. It's a small budget hotel that's good for short visits, but don't have too high of an expectation. They didn't even ask how my stay was when I checked out, because, obviously they don't care.

This was most definitely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. First of all, the first room we got was very dirty so we requested a change. We got the change and it was not much of a difference. The comforter was dirty. The walls were dirty. The bathroom was dirty, and the room had a distinct smell. Right when we were trying to settle in, we noticed a lot of other things. The sink in the bathroom was completely broken and was dripping all over the floor. The toilet seat looked old and dirty even after we disinfected it, and the bidet had bugs coming out of it. Please stay away from this hotel. It is not four stars.

Charming and convenient
Beautiful hotel in a great location. We flew into Rome before heading to Amalfi. This was a perfect first night on our honeymoon. The bed was firm and comfortable. The bathroom had a tub and soaking in it after walking 25k steps around Rome was heavenly. The breakfast bar offered was really nice. Although the stay was short, would not hesitate to book again. Thank you!

My friends and I booked a place near FCO Airport for overnight stay. On arrivial at approximately 1pm on 6th aug the lady at reception was cold, unfriendly and abrupt. She clearly did not want to deal with guests of Black African descent ( in my opinion) as she was not the same with other non nlack African guests that arrived after us. However, when we returned at 3pm to check into our rooms it was a different experience. The gentleman and lady at the reception were very pleasant ,helpful,& couteous. The hotel rooms and stay was really nice , very clean airconditioned rooms, lovely shower, toiletries and towels. Kettle and beverages available on request. It is a shame the overall experience was made less than pleasant by one person

Yellowish, stained, chipped, and little smelly toilet seat totally did not go with the rest of the room which looked good and clean. It does cost more than 20 euros to replace it and people will not be grossed out to use the toilet. Front desk was nice. Would stay again but would hate to stay in the room with that toilet seat :)

Clean hotel.
Medium size hotel. 15 min walk from Garbatella Metro stop, or 25 min from Piramide Metro stop. Nice area. Functional room. Rome is massively expensive after covid so be preoaref to dish out over a 100€ for..nothing much really.

This property is what we were looking for outside of the city limits and therefore much more inexpensive. It was what we needed as a stopover after our incoming flight. But it is very much removed from the core of Rome and bus tickets are hard to buy. We walked about 10 minutes to bus station to buy tickets and we’re able tour trastevere. Didn’t feel comfortable bussing back so took taxi. The room we were given at first was not what we booked perhaps because of difference between what Europe and Expedia classify as a child. But front desk was very good to find an appropriate room. Beds were comfortable. Great shower. But room had been smoked in and we are pretty sure we heard rats scurrying in the middle of the night 😕 It was fine for having somewhere to sleep for a night but would not have an extended stay here.

The room was fairly large as was the bathroom, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was on a main roadway and hence there was a lot of noise (plus there was construction going on at the building next door which started up very early in the morning and was not appreciated). There were not many restaurant choices nearby within walking distance but that turned out to be not an issue, as the in-hotel restaurant was very good, and we ended up eating there both nights. The hotel is fairly convenient to the Apian Way, which we wanted to see. Breakfast was pretty good.
