Beautiful, high quality accommodation. Bright, spacious and very clean. Very close to the Vatican with lots of restaurant options close by. Communication was excellent and the whole process was easy and effortless. Fresh croissants provided each morning was a bonus and appreciated.

Very kind staff one night stay was close to everything. Clean and quiet and safe.
Good location close to St Peter’s and the Vatican. The hotel was nice and the rooms were clean. Our bed was a little older and it felt like we rolled to the middle some, but still comfy. The air conditioner was difficult to figure out but worked well once we figured it out. Service was a little lacking for me: no staff onsite except when we checked in and response time via WhatsApp chat was a little slow. The worst part was I had requested a car to pick us up and take us to the airport. I confirmed a time of 8:30am for two days out when we were checking in. When I texted the night before for confirmation, I was told that they can’t book a car on such short notice? I guess they just forgot about the conversation when we checked in… in any event, I was able to book a car myself via Uber. Overall, it was a good hotel, just a little lacking in communication.
overall the room itself wasn’t bad & more space than most places i’ve tried in europe. The issue I had with this location was that there was no wifi literally my entire stay & that’s something that they advertise to have. after ignoring multiple messages they claimed the issue was in the whole area but that didn’t add up because the restaurant on the first floor had wifi the whole time because i walked around and asked multiple places near by. besides the no wifi our TV didn’t work so it’s not like after a long day we had something to keep us entertained since our phones weren’t an option either. & the only way to contact the front desk was just through chat because they were also never there and available in person. so they were excellent at ignore messages and replying every once and a while when they felt like it. After complaining every single night the literal night before i left they decided to buy a router and have temp wifi until “issue was resolved” which was useless to me by that point because I was leaving the following morning. the staff who replies to the messages also had a nasty attitude about the whole situation. I was also promised 100 dollar refund for the inconvenience which I never received & after confronting them about they said I would only get it if I left a positive review. & since I wasn’t counting on it with all the lies they told me though the whole trip. here’s my honest review don’t stay there!!! rude staff & a places full of lies. :)
Our family stayed here on a recent trip to Rome, the hotel was excellent, and the staff were very kind and helpful. The room was clean, and the hotel is located right next to some amazing places to see and visit and some great places to eat. When we come back to Rome we will definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for 4 nights with my family of 3 and we had such a great stay. Location is perfect and only a few minutes away from the Vatican. It’s on a nice quiet street and very easy to find. It’s a nice 20 minute walk to so many tourist sites and other popular areas with tons of food options.
Hotel was super communicative and made our stay easy and enjoyable. Was the perfect stay for us and would definitely stay at again!
This was a unique hotel for us and we enjoyed it immensely. We are a family of five and had two rooms. I will say it was a little hard to find even with the address. Just know that it has a big wood door hand looks like a residential entrance. There is a small sign to the right of the door with the hotel‘s name along with several other names on that sign. Again, it was small and so we weren’t sure we were in the right place once you go inside it is on The second floor. The woman at the front desk was very warm and inviting and took our luggage early until our room was ready. She was a wonderful host. It was located well in very walkable for breakfast and dinner restaurants as well as a small market across the street. Would absolutely stay here again.
The property unit was excellent and clean, modern, conveniently located in the city. I would definitely go back to that property whenever I go back to Roma to visit.
This place is not a hotel, it is more like a b&b. The location is fantastic. Th staff is great at communicating, and the rooms are great, specially room 6. Fantastic.
Really a nice property in a convenient and clean neighborhood.
Would recommend it highly

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Rooms are decent size for Europe and are ok for sleeping at night. The bathroom was very nice, but the shower leaked all around the pan requiring multiple towels to soak up. Parts of the room were neglected i.e. the curtains were filthy, the twin bed had a cover over it that had hair all over, but we placed our suite cases on it as there is no floor space. The mini fridge was so mini you could put a drink or two in it and it was not cold. The elevator was broken when we arrived on Sunday and was fixed by end of day on Monday. The railing for the stairs in the common area were broken and could not be used for people who require assistance walking down the stairs. Had everything been clean and in working order, I would have given this place 5 stars.
