Not for the business traveler

The hotel is in a lovely location and the service was great. Friendly, helpful people. The room was great - small but perfect. The only issue was that there is a rooftop bar/restaurant and during my stay there were two events back to back nights and as a business traveler this does not work. I was on the 4th floor and the event space is on the 5th. I asked to be moved the first night because it felt like a discotheque above me but there were no other rooms. The next night was exponentially worse and the private event with terrible techno music lasted well past 1 am with flashing lights. This is not really a good hotel for a business traveler. But for vacation - it seems like a good choice.

At first glance this hotel was a dream, however, when we got to the location the price was not justified. It took us over an hour to find parking without any help from the hotel. The front desk didn’t give us any information for our stay (we heard them tell a couple about discounts for restaurants the morning we checked out). The only thing that was told to us was that the rooftop, which was the only reason we had booked this hotel was off limits due to a private event. We did communicate this with the hotel and nothing was done in terms of compensation. Being someone that likes to end my day relaxing outdoors I ended up in bed at 9pm not being able to also sleep as the noise coming from the private party was absurd. The room also had a very musty smell which made it hard to enjoy being there. Overall I’m extremely disappointed in the customer service at this hotel. If you’re considering booking it maybe ask if they have a private event before hand.

Very nice hotel! Great rooftop patio also! This property was about a 25 minute walk to the Spanish Steps, and 15 minutes from the Colosseum. Would definitely go back!

The hotel was near so many of the things we wanted to see in Rome. It was a smaller hotel, fairly clean, service was good. It worked for what we needed, but I'm not sure if I would stay again.
