Poggio delle Ginestre Holidays from AU$2,195

A little hard to find at first blush but once you know the ropes, this is a very good spot and a superb location for enjoying Rome!

First, this is no a traditional hotel. It’s two floors of a dirty old apartment building. You enter via door code next to several trash cans and walk up two flights of stairs to an elevator to the third floor reception, which is only open 8am-3pm. Staff was helpful providing after hours access via WhatsApp chat. The room was fortunately cleaner and brighter than the stairway and corridor, which stank of cigarette smoke, with modern finishes. However, the air conditioning did not work and since there’s no on-site staff, it was not addressed until the following day. Additionally, the best was among the oldest, least comfortable my wife or I have ever tried to sleep on. Lots of corridor noise throughout the night. We ended up departing after only one night into our three night stay so we could better sleep.

Fantastic gem in central Rome. Walking distance from the Trevi Fountain and other sites. The hotel is a lovely boutique hotel, we stayed in the Junior Suite which was spacious and lovely. Definite 4 star standard. Most importantly all staff so friendly and accommodating! This will be our go to hotel for all future Rome visits.
