Friendly staff. Spacious room. Private bath. Location to Termini train station (though on south side; trashy neighborhood)

Thanh United States of America

The facility is enchanting, being that it's an old refurbished church. Its location was better than what I could have hoped for. The staff was extremely pleasant.

Patrisillo United States of America

The loaction was really good. Good restaurants nearby and walking distance from Colosseum.
