Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Staff gave great advice on where to go and on transport links into the city. Hotel is well looked after and really enjoyed our stay.

Sehr angenehme Unterkunft, für einige Tage Aufenthalt sehr zu empfehlen!
Pros:

Das Hotel ist gut gelegen in einer ruhigen Nebenstrasse in der Nähe der Termini. Von der Hauptstrasse bekommt man bei offenen Fenster den.Verkehr morgens mit, das ist wahrscheinlich überall in Rom ähnlich.. Das Viertel ist interessant, Multi Kulti mit vielen internationalen (neben italienischen auch chinesische und indische) Restaurants und Märkten! Wir hatten ein Zimmer im obersten Stock, innerhalb der Unterkunft war es sehr ruhig. Das Bett war bequem & Wäsche, Zimmer & Bad sehr sauber! Angenehmes, zuvorkommendes Personal!

Cons:

Nichts!

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent — very convenient, yet peaceful and quiet. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and has a beautiful terrace that made our stay even more enjoyable.

The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. A special thank you to Upol at the reception, who was especially helpful and made us feel very welcomed from the moment we arrived. His kindness and attentiveness truly stood out.

Overall, we had a lovely experience and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended
