Über den Dächern Roms
Pros:

Ausgesprochen freundliche, teilweise deutschsprachige Rezeption, war 24 h besetzt. Zimmer wurde uns am Anteisetag sogar schon am Vormittag kostenfrei zur Verfügung gestellt. Tolle Dachterasse und tolle Lage zu vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Kaffee gab es auch schon früh am morgen vor der Frühstückszeit am Abreisetag. Organisierter Transfer zum und vom Hotel zum Flughafen perfekt.

Pros:

The rooftop was nice to take a break. The location was good and away from the main tourist heavy areas, which was nice.

Cons:

Most of the staff were nice and helpful. There were a couple of people who just seemed a little off. A little over aggressive and not friendly.

Trotz aller Kritik - Punkte: Wir würden wiederkommen. die Freundlichkeit des Personals und die Lage
Pros:

Vor allem die hervorragende Lage. Nicht so "touristisch". Gute U-Bahn-Anbindung und z.T. wirklich hervorragende Restaurants in Hotel - Nähe!

Cons:

Frühstück hätte qualitativ etwas höher sein können. Viel Konserven - Produkte, z.B. Obstsalat, Joghurt - Produkte verbesserungswürdig. Die angebotenen Säfte waren nicht hervorragend.

Fantastic location and staff
Pros:

The location was perfect for the Vatican. Room was a decent size for a European city. Guiseppe on reception was very helpful. He is a great asset to this hotel.
Breakfast was OK. Don't expect a good range of hot food, but enough of everything to start the day well. Nice, quiet area. Roof terrace is amazing.

Excelente localização e apoio para conhecer Roma
Pros:

Localização excelente, próximo da estação do metrô Lepanto, a 10 min a pé do Vaticano e com várias opções de restaurantes, cafés, mercados e sorveterias ao redor.
Oferta de transfer para o aeroporto por preço justo e excelente serviço.
Café da manhã adequado, quarto com bom espaço, chuveiro potente. Terraço com vista ótima para o Vaticano.
TV Sky com ótima oferta de canais e muito prática.

Cons:

A cama de casal era bastante alta, o que pode ser um problema para quem tem dificuldades.
O box do chuveiro era bastante pequeno, apesar do tamanho do banheiro ser bem razoável.
Esses pequenos inconvenientes não tornaram a experiência ruim de maneira geral.
