Reviews
Barbora from Slovakia (9/10)
Our stay here was truly amazing! Everything was perfect, and we have nothing to complain about. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from St. Peter's Basilica and also close to the metro station. The accommodation was clean, fragrant, and the rooms were spacious and modernly furnished, with toiletries and towels provided. The staff was very kind and friendly. We especially liked the always-smiling young man at the reception 🙂. On our next visit to Rome, we would gladly choose this accommodation again.

The staff was very kind! They helped us with everything even if it is not related to the hotel service directly.
The location is on point, not too far from the center but also not too many tourists around with really good restaurants around!Ellen from United States (9/10)

Lauren from United Kingdom (9/10)
We loved our stay here. Breakfast was continental with plenty of options (my son and I particularly loved the nutella pastries). There was plenty available and we could either eat in the breakfast room or on our balcony. The location was great, we walked everywhere and there were some great restaurants nearby. Really easy to get to and from the airport via the SIT shuttle bus. Staff were very friendly and helpful, i particularly liked how they contacted ahead of time to save time on check in.
