Pros:

Nagy jó az elhelyezkedés, tisztaság, kedves személyzet

Cons:

Superior szobában a fürdőkád és a zuhanyfüggöny minősíthetetlen állapotban van. A reggelinél, ha kifogy valami, lassan töltik fel.

Convenient location, good staff, clean rooms, comfortable bed, overall quiet, good breakfast.
Pros:

convenient location, comfortable bed, Lisa at the front desk was very kind and helpful, breakfast was good.

Cons:

it is an old building like many buildings in Rome, really is an observation. Restaurants on the block could be noisy but it gets quiet after 11:00 or so. I was able to sleep.
