Pros:

Alles! Das Personal war so hilfreich und freundlich bei der Umsetzung unseres 5-tägigen Aufenthaltes mit Rollstuhl in Rom.
Danke noch einmal an Marley und Alen für die schönen Tage!

Unser Zimmer war komfortabel und hatte alles, was wir für eine Städtereise erwarten. Klimaanlage, jeden Tag frische Handtücher und die Kleinigkeit, die im Bad repariert werden musste, wurde auf Nachfrage erledigt.

Beim Frühstücksbuffet war für jeden etwas dabei, süß und herzhaft. Die zusätzliche Bestellung à la carte für frisch geschnittenes Obst oder getoastetes Brot fanden wir im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit echt eine gute Idee.

Die Lage war ideal. Wir konnten auch ohne öffentliche Verkehrsmittel alle Sehenswürdigkeiten bis auf den Vatikan zu Fuß erreichen und die Restaurants in der Nähe des Hotels hatten leckere und authentische Gerichte.

Das Hotel ist also perfekt um zum ersten Mal Rom zu erkunden und gemütlich den Abend ausklingen zu lassen. Wenn wir wieder mal in Rom sind, dann definitiv in diesem Hotel.

Prettig hotel
Pros:

Een prettig familiehotel, de meesten waren ook erg aardig. Prima ontbijt en erg leuke locatie.

Cons:

Misschien omdat het halloween weekend was, was de prijs best pittig. Het is een goed onderhouden hotel, maar eenvoudig.
We bleken een piepkleine kamer te hebben, niet te doen voor 2 personen, dus voor 100 euro een grotere kamer genomen

Good location but very limited space
Pros:

Location is good. Very close to Colosseum and in a walking distance from al the rest of main attractions

Cons:

The bathroom is so small that you can hardly use it. Would be very iseful to have a small shelf in the cabin just to put the soap or shampoo somewhere but it is so small that there is no space for it. So how do they think I shall keep it?
