Categories

Cleanliness
7.4
Generally reported as clean with daily towel changes and tidy rooms, but isolated issues (unclean shower, small bathroom debris, reports of water ingress and minor maintenance problems) lowered this score slightly.
Service
7.6
Majority of reviews praise friendly, professional and helpful staff, though there are notable negative incidents (unhelpful staff for late check-out, only one key issued) creating mixed but overall slightly above-average sentiment.
Location
8.6
Consistently highlighted as a major strength — extremely central, a short walk to the Colosseum and close to metro/transport links.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms described as modern, spacious and comfortable with good beds and recent renovation in many units; a few comments suggest some rooms need updating.
Amenities
7.2
Breakfast and basic amenities are generally available and appreciated (pastries, products), but small lacks were noted (no hotel slippers in one case), and bar food/served items had at least one poor report.
Value for Money
6.6
Multiple guests complained about price relative to what was included (unexpected city tax, high room rates without breakfast for some), reducing perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.3
Breakfast is frequently praised (freshly baked pastries, good selection) though some guests missed fresh bread and there were isolated complaints (frozen bar food).
Overall Experience
7.9
Overall positive stay for most guests (recommended, perfect/very good experiences), tempered by occasional service or value issues reported by some visitors.

Not with the cost and not worth the 4* rating
Pros:

Location
I knew location was good as have stayed at this hotel 4 years ago

Cons:

Considering it was meant to be 4 star and I had used this exact hotel previously
The Hotel did not live up to expectations!
Rooms disappointing. Paper cups in room and very poor quality, nothing to stir drinks. Shower only rain head so not adequate for Women! No mirrors except bathroom which steams up!
Bathroom overpowers bedroom space.
Not worth the cost at all. I Would not return.
Staff nice on reception and good location.

Soggiorno sorprendentemente perfetto, non soltanto grazie al comfort dell' hotel. Anche per il meteo
Pros:

Colazione entro i limiti standard. Ottimi i prodotti offerti. Mancava il pane fresco. I dolci perfetti, sfornati in giornata.
La posizione dell' hotel è magnifica: a pochi passi dal Colosseo e dal Centro Roma Capitale.

Cons:

Come ho anticipato, avrei gradito del pane fresco a colazione. Per il resto, nulla da aggiungere.

Pros:

habitación bastante moderna y grande. Camas muy cómodas. Cerca del Coliseo, a 15 min a pie.

Cons:

El personal. Muy poco amable. El domingo teníamos una media maratón y preguntamos si podíamos hacer late check-out, incluso pagando, para tener tiempo de volver y ducharnos y dijeron que imposible. Nos dieron una sola llave de la habitación, siendo dos personas, y cuando pedimos una segunda, no tenían. En fin, por 300 euros la noche sin desayuno, al menos uno espera tener una llave por persona...

Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

El agua de la lluvia se metió por la ventana
El plástico del marco de la puerta se desprendió
La puerta del baño chirriaba
La comida del bar toda congelada
Calidad precio caro- hay que sumar la tasa de €22 al dia que no se nos comunicó
El desayuno para el precio que cobran debería estar incluido

Pros:

L'hotel è stato ristrutturato, il cambio di look con gli arredi e i colori molto bello e piacevole all'occhio. Stanza grande, letto comodo, con tutti i confort. Colazione buona. Posizione comoda perchè ben collegata con i mezzi, e comunque 10 minuti a piedi dal Colosseo e da altre attrazioni.
