This was most definitely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. First of all, the first room we got was very dirty so we requested a change. We got the change and it was not much of a difference. The comforter was dirty. The walls were dirty. The bathroom was dirty, and the room had a distinct smell. Right when we were trying to settle in, we noticed a lot of other things. The sink in the bathroom was completely broken and was dripping all over the floor. The toilet seat looked old and dirty even after we disinfected it, and the bidet had bugs coming out of it. Please stay away from this hotel. It is not four stars.

Charming and convenient
Beautiful hotel in a great location. We flew into Rome before heading to Amalfi. This was a perfect first night on our honeymoon. The bed was firm and comfortable. The bathroom had a tub and soaking in it after walking 25k steps around Rome was heavenly. The breakfast bar offered was really nice. Although the stay was short, would not hesitate to book again. Thank you!

My friends and I booked a place near FCO Airport for overnight stay. On arrivial at approximately 1pm on 6th aug the lady at reception was cold, unfriendly and abrupt. She clearly did not want to deal with guests of Black African descent ( in my opinion) as she was not the same with other non nlack African guests that arrived after us. However, when we returned at 3pm to check into our rooms it was a different experience. The gentleman and lady at the reception were very pleasant ,helpful,& couteous. The hotel rooms and stay was really nice , very clean airconditioned rooms, lovely shower, toiletries and towels. Kettle and beverages available on request. It is a shame the overall experience was made less than pleasant by one person

Dear Alexandro,we cannot understand how it is possible that you did not enjoy your stay with us. You did not even stay at the hotel. You made a non-refundable reservation and made a No Show. Very strange your comment.

Yellowish, stained, chipped, and little smelly toilet seat totally did not go with the rest of the room which looked good and clean. It does cost more than 20 euros to replace it and people will not be grossed out to use the toilet. Front desk was nice. Would stay again but would hate to stay in the room with that toilet seat :)

Clean hotel.
Medium size hotel. 15 min walk from Garbatella Metro stop, or 25 min from Piramide Metro stop. Nice area. Functional room. Rome is massively expensive after covid so be preoaref to dish out over a 100€ for..nothing much really.

This property is what we were looking for outside of the city limits and therefore much more inexpensive. It was what we needed as a stopover after our incoming flight. But it is very much removed from the core of Rome and bus tickets are hard to buy. We walked about 10 minutes to bus station to buy tickets and we’re able tour trastevere. Didn’t feel comfortable bussing back so took taxi. The room we were given at first was not what we booked perhaps because of difference between what Europe and Expedia classify as a child. But front desk was very good to find an appropriate room. Beds were comfortable. Great shower. But room had been smoked in and we are pretty sure we heard rats scurrying in the middle of the night 😕 It was fine for having somewhere to sleep for a night but would not have an extended stay here.

The room was fairly large as was the bathroom, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was on a main roadway and hence there was a lot of noise (plus there was construction going on at the building next door which started up very early in the morning and was not appreciated). There were not many restaurant choices nearby within walking distance but that turned out to be not an issue, as the in-hotel restaurant was very good, and we ended up eating there both nights. The hotel is fairly convenient to the Apian Way, which we wanted to see. Breakfast was pretty good.

The staff was nice and the room was clean and comfortable. One big issue was that there was no hot water but that was seemingly due to a water supply issue that affected the area. Not sure how that works since there was still cold water. Really cold water. The room was too warm and the temperature control device wouldn’t let us change it. And the fridge wasn’t cold, nor was the water in the vending machine outside. So not super comfortable on the amenities side but the bed was nice and the room and bathroom were spacious.

Nice stay, great location, a bit too warm
I really like this hotel, simple, clean and friendly. I enjoyed the stay, but found the rooms extremely warm. The thermostat was set at 23 degrees, and even switching it off, I could feel the radiators very warm. May be nice to lower the heating a bit (definitely not a deal breaker)

A little out of the way but accessible by bus - 20 mins by bus from Rome Termini. Beds were comfortable and temperature of the room was great. No tea or coffee facilities in the room. A small fridge would of been a great bonus. Surrounding area isn't the prettiest the roads outside is very busy. A lot of the surrounding restaurants were closed for 2 weeks (Mid august) or shut on Mondays. Great for the price but I would book a hotel closer to city centre if not using a hire car.

The property has nice rooms and very close proximity to sight seeing areas. Very quiet. The hotel has a very good restaurant with nice food for tourist. We had dinner there three times on our three nights stay. The female server is probably the nicest I met in Europe. The staff are very helpful and friendly but not engaging. There is also a cafe nearby and the owner is very nice as well. The bar staff are very efficient. The rooms needed some touch up paint. There were scuff marks on the walls. The bathroom has mildew due to the moisture. The housekeepers should do a little bit more dusting on the wall by the head side of the bed. I can literally write my name from the heavy dust.
