Hotel staff were amazing as was the breakfast. The hotel is a little further from most of Rome’s attractions. Lots of really good dining options just a block away. Hotel was very clean and quiet.

This hotel was in a great location, walking distance to all the major attractions. We were able to check in 2 hours early (noon) and the rooms were clean and modern. The breakfast was really great as well. I'd definitely stay here again.

Room was very quiet (stayed in a room for 4 people, two twins pushed together and a full size pull out couch). Beds were comfy, air conditioning was good. It was very hoot during our visit. Breakfast was satisfying and served promptly. Upstairs lounge was not operating during our stay. Staff was relatively friendly. Would stay here again. Although we liked the neighborhood, it was always a guaranteed walk.

Can not comment on the guardian hotel, after walking for 20 minutes in 36 degree heat we got told there was no space for us and we got moved to their sister hotel, whilst the other hotel was nice and probably better I don’t see a world where it is acceptable for this to happen and then be told they were too busy to let us know in advance, the staff themselves were nice and helpful but the situation was poor

Staff was friendly and inviting. Unfortunately the balcony was under construction so we couldnt use it. Only real negative was that the rooftop terrace only has one person working it so good luck getting food/drinks.
