Pros:

Výborná lokalita. Snídaně dostačující. Ale filtrovaná káva v Itálii mě překvapila. Personál na požádání přinese kávu ze stroje, ale aktivně ji nenabízí.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely stay again and recommend other people to stay h
Pros:

Loved the staff, so helpful and pleasant and happy to give recommendations and promptly helped when I got locked in the bathroom!
The breakfast was delicious and a lovely choice of foods. Our room had its towels changed everyday, the beds were made everyday, the beds were comfortable and the shower was great! The location was also perfect - not far from the colloseum at all but also a good base point to get to other areas and it had great restaurants only just round the corner.

Cons:

The only thing I can say I didn’t like was the sound at nighttime, there was a lot of noise outside which you could really hear (and I have bad hearing) and you can hear everything going on outside/next to your room like if the neighbours run the water or flush the toilet. But - that really would be the only downfall which could easily be resolved with ear buds!

Un hôtel calme et accueillant à deux pas du Colisée
Pros:

La décoration de l'hôtel, faire avec beaucoup de goût et très accueillante : jolies associations de meubles, tapis et tissus colorés, avec de jolis bouquets comme dans un palace. L'accueil charmant du personnel. Le calme de l'environnement, associé à une situation géographie très centrale, dans un superbe quartier de Rome.

Cons:

rien

Great location, great value, policies that made me feel unwelcome
Pros:

The location was fantastic. The price was a great value. And the hotel was definitely charming. But a lot of policies made me feel unwelcome. Maybe some of these polices have reasons behind them, but I wasn’t made aware of those reasons.
- There was a locked gate at the entrance. On my first day, after hauling my luggage from Termini station to here, I waited for 5 minutes, not understanding how the locked gate worked or how to get in or why I was seemingly being shut out. Eventually I figured out what button to press. But even after I figured out the locked gate, several days later, the electricity on the locked gate seemingly went out. I rang the bell 8 times. Then some students staying came and called their friend who was inside the hotel. He tried to let us out from the other side of the gate but couldn’t. Then he got the concierge who also couldn’t unlock the gate with the button on the inside. Finally, the manager came and unlocked it with keys. I think that was 5 people attempting: me, the student standing outside, the student standing inside, the concierge, and the manager.
- You have to leave the keys in the lobby before going out. Some people love this as a charming old hotel feature. I love charming physical keys in hotels, but Italy has a shortage of public restrooms and Rome’s public transit is bad. So after walking a lot and coming in needing to pee, the last thing I wanted was to have to wait to get my key to get into my room to pee. Maybe they’re afraid that guests will get keys stolen by pickpockets in Rome, but then wouldn’t that justify key cards?
- My room was freezing, so cold I couldn’t comfortably shower. I visited Rome in February. I told the concierge who immediately fixed it, but it was still very cold.

The hotel was still a perfect location and a fantastic value. The cleaning staff and laundry people did an amazing job, so thank you for that. ❤️
