Generally good with minor "problems"
Pros:

Close to main train/bus station, 20 min easy walk to Colosseum, stuff are really nice and kind.

Cons:

Breakfast only have sweet food. And check in is only untill 23:00, we barely managed to check in because our flight was delayed. It would be nice to don't have pressure of making it at hotel untill 23:00 or you will sleep on the street.

Il miglior Hotel della categoria a 5 minuti a piedi dalla Stazione Termini??
Pros:

Scelta piacevole e "obbligata" se si ha esigenza di stare a 2 passi della stazione e praticamente a ridosso del centro e se si vuole il massimo del rapporto/qualità prezzo e della tranquillità!
Camere di recente costruzione/ristrutturazione e con ottime rifiniture.
Gestita con professionalità e grande disponibilità, è inserita in un contesto tra i più belli e comodi di Roma.
Tutte le ottime impressioni all'accoglienza sono state confermate in questo primo soggiorno ... impagabile la possibilità di poter lasciare in deposito una borsa per qualche ora !!
Probabilmente la migliore scelta possibile su Roma Stazione/Esquilino/Manzoni e se si arriva senza auto!!

Pros:

la gentillesse du personnel, le calme de l’hôtel, pourtant situe pourtant proche d’une route passante , l’emplacement proche de la station métro Manzoni, à moins de cinq minutes à pied, qui permet la desserte d’une majorité des points de visite de Rome.

Cons:

une petite note de salé avec le petit déjeuner serait appréciable (œufs, jambon,fromage)
