In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Strong transport connections — A tram stop is close by, Manzoni metro is within easy reach, and Termini railway station is about a 15-minute walk, which makes arrival and sightseeing easier.
  • Helpful, multilingual reception team — Guest reviews repeatedly mention friendly staff who give useful advice about Rome and, in at least one case, spoke several languages.
  • Quiet, comfortable rooms — Soundproofed rooms with air conditioning and heating are standard, and guests describe them as clean, quiet and nicely decorated; some rooms include a balcony.
  • Useful in-house basics — A 24-hour reception, room service, luggage storage, a safe and a restaurant cover the essentials without complication.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in only runs between 12:00 and 17:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead; check-out is at 11:00.
  • Dining and price/service score lowest — Dining and price/service both sit at 7 in guest ratings, the weakest categories, while rooms/cleanliness and location both score 8.
  • Ongoing maintenance — One recent guest described the hotel as old but well kept, with repair work underway, so parts of the building may feel dated until that work finishes.
  • Cleaning feedback is mixed — Most guests found rooms clean, but one reviewer felt the cleaning staff needed retraining, so housekeeping is not consistently praised.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel's no-pets policy rules it out for anyone travelling with an animal.

“The location was adjacent to Termini station, with all the buses, both metro lines and the centre easy to reach, and staying in the central district felt worth it. Our room was nicely decorated and romantic, with a balcony, a safe and very good air conditioning.”
