6/10 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
The staff at the hotel were very friendly, giving us recommendations for places to eat and helping us book taxis when needed. Couldn't fault them for that. However the hotel itself was very tired and the images on the website set false expectations. The sealant around our shower was black with mould, there were scuffs and black marks all over the paintwork in the room, the carpet was grubby and the 'silver' was wearing off the door handles. The images online show brighter rooms and look way more stylish than they are in reality. There isn't a mirror in the room meaning I had to stand up to do my hair and make up in the bathroom. Not a big deal for some I'm sure but for me its a real bug bear and I don't know why any hotel in this day and age wouldn't have a mirror in the room. The location was good, but very much on the outskirts of the centre so depending on how much you want to walk/use the metro, might influence your decision. We managed but we're fit and healthy in our 40s, I know others would struggle with being at least 20 minutes from the Trevi Fountain. Breakfast was okay with the usual continental offerings in a lovely little breakfast room which was nice.

Beautiful street and convenient location. The room was spacious and had charm. We were lucky to have the only balcony suite. I found the shower had a bit of mold on the tiles and the carpet a bit dingy but the rest was very clean and nicely cared for.

excellent location, only a 30 minute trek (downhill) towards St Peters Square. Trevi round the corner but far enough away for tourist traffic not to be an issue. room, staff & breakfast buffet was excellent, i couldn't sing their praises high enough. Excellent shower! Maybe a little out of the way for authentic Italian eateries, but the discovery is everything right? Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, will definitely be back
