The staff really went the extra mile. I appreciated their friendliness and professionalism. They made the stay very enjoyable. The amenities were good but not spectacular in any way. Small fitness room and pool. There’s also a sauna and stem room. All the facilities are kept very clean. I was very unhappy with the first room I got which was very small and dark. I didn’t mention it to the staff but I did mention it in my check in review. They upgraded me to a better room, which I really appreciated. It’s a pretty central location and very walkable.

The hotel and room were clean and beds were super comfortable. The distance to public transportation was great. Not really close to tourist attractions but the easily accessible train and bus, made it a breeze. Nice rooftop too! The surrounding area was a little bit of an eyesore but it was safe nonetheless. It’s obvious that neighborhood is Rome is in the midst of gentrification.
