A hidden gem a stones throw from the historic heart of Rome
Pros:

The room was excellent, with comfortable beds, fridge, multi function shower, safe, and a door straight to the outside. Breakfast was large and varied with everything from cakes to cold meats and cheeses, fruits and cereal, with excellent coffee.

An absolutely excellent choice for somewhere to stay in Rome if you'd like to be *just* outside the busy centre, but still close enough to walk or bike to everything if you please. The neighbourhood is filled with beautiful villas, mature trees and basilicas, including the famous keyhole view to the Vatican which is just next door.

The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and always on hand. Special recommendations to the front desk staff and night porter, and the breakfast waiters.
The hotel is also close to the Testaccio district which is not known by tourists but has excellent wine bars, a covered market and many gelatarias! Try Piazza Testaccio on an evening for wine and small plates.

Will definitely stay here again if I come back to Rome.

Cons:

The room I had was a little on the small side, and on the ground floor so didn't have a view but on the plus side had its own private door to the outside terrace.

Lovely location and breakfast but a hotel is only as good as the rest it grants.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent

Cons:

Room 802 was very dirty under the bed. There was no soap in the bathroom. We found used serviettes under the bed. It was also impossible to sleep through the night due to the noise of other guests speaking loudly and slamming doors in the middle of the night (2am). THis was mainly due to the fact that our room was so close to the Concierge.

Highly recommend.
Pros:

Room was delightful, period decoration tasteful but didn't lack modern facilities. The bathroom and shower were all excellently maintained, the room had character and a wonderful view, the breakfast with garden seating available was perfectly adequate, no hot food but in the climate that was not an issue, the downstairs bathroom/toilet, complete with shower and ample space, was a godsend on departure day. Staff were extremely helpful and polite.

Cons:

Perhaps a greater variety of fresh juice and fruit at breakfast, otherwise no complaints.

Pros:

We have stayed in this hotel several times , great location in Rome, good breakfast etc.

Cons:

This time we booked last minute and it was not mentioned in the booking that it was a room for disabled- but only «economy standard. «and the last left- so we booked it.
The room was small, dark and the bathroom had a toilet that you almost « sat» in the shower. This was a disappointment unfortunately- but we will come back!

Pros:

Location, staff, general ambience.

Cons:

Had to pay for an omlete at breakfast. Shower wouldn't work upon arrival but was fixed fairly quickly. Should have been tested by cleaner. No instructions on how to use complicated shower. Height off the floor of bathroom mirror was too high for my 5' wife...could not see to dry hair.

Pros:

Struttura molto bella, in una zona molto bella e tranquilla di Roma. A pochi passi dal Colle Aventino in Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta. Stupendo

Cons:

Unica nota negativa della stanza è stata l'assegnazione, ci è stata affidata una stanza per persone con mobilità ridotte e quindi non troppo confortevole con chi non ha queste necessità, ad esempio il wc dentro la docci a noi non serviva.
