Pros:

Blisko watykanu ogólnie ok jesli chodzi komunikację miejską. Cicha okolica

Cons:

Napewno to że nie wiedziałem że będę musiał zapłacić 60 euro podatku turystycznego. I żeby korzystać z basenu trzeba posiadać czapek

Pros:

Var hyggelig ansatte i resepsjonen

Cons:

Rommet og dusjen opplevdes ikke som rent, når vi viste vaskehjelpen dusjen og badekaret sa dem at det er rent og ønsket ikke å gjøre noe med det. Og aircondition kan ikke justeres fra rommet.

Personnel super !
Pros:

Personnel très agréable avec un monsieur qui parlait français. Le jour de notre arrivée, nous avons pu avoir la chambre bien avant le check in convenu et le jour de notre départ nous avons pu laisser nos bagages à l'accueil pour finir quelques emplettes au centre ville. C'est donc l'hospitalité et l'accueil que je mettrai en avant par-dessus tout.

Cons:

Aucune chaîne française à la télévision, mise en place de smart TV avec applications tel que Youtube ou Netflix.
Il manquait une fontaine avec de l'eau potable.

Pros:

La ubicación, las instalaciones, los servicios... todo de diez. Está en un punto medio del aeropuerto y del centro de la ciudad, muy fácil acceso.

Cons:

La única pega es que la cama es un poco dura, pero compensa la comodidad de todo lo demás.

Bridget stay so budget food, staff and overalll experience
Pros:

Was okay for the price paid. Not luxury but not luxury prices. Man who came to fix air con was nice as was maid.

Cons:

The food was awful. The staff front of house are abrupt. Air con cut out at 3:30am and can’t control from room. Also not allowed to take any food or drink from outside. Although it’s wasn’t a bad stay would not stay again

I will definitely use it again, I would recommend it.
Pros:

Ample room size, garage with gate essential when travelling by car in Rome. Good variety of breakfast choice, reasonable pool size for a dip.

Cons:

The restaurant, not a great service, food was not up to standard, quite expensive, there are better places near by.

Hotel buono e con camera spaziosa. Piscina utile d’estate per rinfrescarsi. Buona la cena, la colazione la rivedrei. Sta
Pros:

Mi è piaciuta molto la camera, era molto spaziosa.
Inoltre io ho optato per il pacchetto di mezza pensione e sono stata soddisfatta. In particolar modo della cena, sono stati proposti piatti della tradizione e soprattutto i primi erano molto buoni!
Un punto a sfavore invece va alla colazione.
Molto carina la terrazza.

Cons:

La colazione era abbondante ma di scarsa qualità.
Lo staff della reception non l’ho trovato motivato e allegro.
Il baretto in terrazza non è al livello della terrazza.
Mi è dispiaciuto trovare le jacuzzi in terrazza con vista su San pietro chiuse per manutenzione. A mio avviso sarebbe da far presente prima dell’arrivo di un cliente.

Bien pour 4 nuits
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner de qualité et la piscine. Hotel proche des transports surtout des bus. Serviettes changées et lit refait tous les jours.

Cons:

Les chambres sont confortables mais a rénover, joins douche, calcaire douche, peinture qui s'écaille au plafond et déco un peu sombre. Cloison fine
Attention aux photos qui sont enjolivees.

It feels like a once great hotel trying to decide on its current identity, but we enjoyed our stay
Pros:

The reception staff were very helpful and got better the more they warmed to you
The pool was a blessing after the heat and walking around Rome
It’s manageable walk to the Vatican and to the bus/metro for centre, but it does require some energy and also the area around isnt amazing
The breakfast was pretty good and the breakfast staff were very attentive
It’s a very clean and tidy hotel, the reception and corridors are quite new and modern
The roof bar is nice and the night view of the basilica is beautiful…… I think it could be made more enticing….. I was surprised how few people used it when we were there.
Car parking was great and check in was seamless.
All 8 of us ( kids , teens and adults) were very happy overall

Cons:

I have no complaints ( other than the pool closed early one evening for forecast rain that that didn’t happen….. and after a long day walking Rome I really wanted a swim!)
It just feels like it could easily be a 10/10 hotel …… but isn’t quite there……. Just needs lots of very small tweaks to be perfect

Pros:

Att ha möjlighet att bada efter en varm dag
Trevlig och hjälpsam personal i receptionen
Bra frukost, mycket att välja på
Hotellets restaurang var jättebra, trevlig personal
Takterrassen

Cons:

Vi fick ett tråkigt läge på vårt rum. Balkong mot en cementmur.
Upplevde det stressigt och rörigt under frukosten, väldigt högljudd hantering av disk, svårt att njuta av sin frukost. Tror det skulle behöva "tassar" under stolarna i frukostsalen. Det blev ett otroligt högt ljud när alla drog in och ut sina stolar hela tiden...
