Wonderful Stay Near Circus Maximus

helpful staff excellent location complimentary snacks quiet retreat

I found the staff to be very helpful with directions and recommendations for local restaurants. The hotel's location is excellent. It is close to many historical sites. My room included complimentary snacks and a bathrobe. I really appreciated these touches. The courtyard provided a quiet retreat. I enjoyed having my coffee there each morning.

The soundproofing between rooms was not ideal. I could hear conversations from the adjacent room.

Dining

9/10

There is a bar located just 100 meters away from the hotel. It serves a good breakfast. I found several local restaurants within a short walking distance. They offered a variety of cuisines.

Rooms

9/10

The Superior Double Room was spacious and beautifully decorated. I found the air conditioning worked efficiently. This was crucial during the hot days. A security code is required for entry after dark. I felt safe.

extraordinary location inner courtyard friendly staff bad shower thin walls loud music

The location was extraordinary I could walk to the Colosseum very easily. The inner courtyard made it a pleasure for me to enjoy a coffee. The staff was friendly they responded quickly to my requests.

The room wasn't in good condition I saw hairs on the walls in the shower. I could literally hear everything from the next rooms so I had to speak quietly. There was loud music one night it came from a nearby restaurant I couldn't sleep.
