8.6Verified guest“An excellent budget hotel with efficient and attentive staff. Rooms are air-conditioned, location is central, and the rooftop bar serves hot beverages. A dessert restaurant, Grezzo Raw Chocolate, is a short 800-foot walk away.”
8.6Verified guest“The hotel is within walking distance of the train station and main sights. The ground-floor lobby is cosy with free tea and juice, and a computer with printer for document printing. The breakfast room is spacious and offers a decent spread: cheese, ham, eggs, pastries, and a cappuccino made by a lovely waitress. The triple room is small—essentially a double with an extra bed. Note that heating is off from 9am to 2pm, so in January the room was cool, and we used air conditioning for heat. Towels and toiletries are changed daily, but there's no refrigerator. The highlight is the rooftop patio with a magnificent city view.”
8.6Verified guest“A lovely rooftop terrace, a unique historical lobby, and close to major attractions.”
8.6Verified guest“Staff were friendly and breakfast was complimentary.”
8.6Verified guest“Location is close to Termini station and sights like the Colosseum and Roman Forum, though a bit far from St Peter's and the Vatican. Staff were very friendly and helpful—they even prepared panini for us when we had an early departure. Our room had a private terrace, one of only two, which was relaxing and useful for drying laundry.”
8.6Verified guest“The staff were exceptionally helpful and amiable—among the best we've encountered. Breakfast was savoury and above average, with breads, yoghurt, and eggs.”

The bottom line
