I had a great experience at this hotel, which is conveniently located within walking distance from the city center and main attractions. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The only downside is that the dining options weren't stellar and could definitely use some improvement. Overall, it's fantastic value for money.

The location couldn't be better-just a short 10 to 15-minute walk to Termini and only a short distance from famous attractions like the Spanish Steps. It felt safe, and there were plenty of supermarkets and cafes nearby.

Although the hotel has an arrangement with a cafe downstairs for breakfast, I found it wasn't worth the extra money as options were limited.

The hotel is situated in a well-located neighborhood, making it easy to access public transportation and the main attractions within a short walk. Unfortunately, the rooms were quite small and not as clean as I expected, which was disappointing. However, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, providing helpful information during my stay. Overall, while the location is great, the room conditions need improvement.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and overall, I had a decent experience. The location was really good, with supermarkets and cafes nearby, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. However, I faced some issues with my room not being ready at check-in and overhearing conversations from other rooms. The breakfast wasn't great either, but I appreciated having a nice cafe downstairs. It's a fair value for the price, but I wish the cleanliness of the room was better.
