Paul Canada

The property looked very nice, clean and modern. Room was comfortable. Loved the mattress and pillows! It was close to the train station.

Rafael United States of America

Having this hotel as our home base for our Rome visit made it extra special! The room was very comfortable and clean, with a very pretty, modern bathroom. The breakfast at the hotel was a very reasonable cost with a wide variety of food choices. The staff at the receptionist desk and in the restaurant were extremely kind, courteous, and professional! The waiters at breakfast were exceptional and made you feel like royalty. There’s a kettle in the room for coffee or tea, and a mini fridge. All the major attractions are within walking distance and is very close to the Metro station to take a train to the Vatican. It was truly comfortable and we will definitely stay there again if we are fortunate enough to return to Rome.
