Guardado para volver
Pros:

La ubicación es EXCELENTE. A pocos metros de Via del Corso y a 5 minutos caminando a cualquiera de las atracciones más importantes de Roma.
El espacio donde sirven el desayuno y la variedad es muy buena. Habitación muy comoda y muy buena atención en la recepción.
Al llegar a la habitación nos regalaron una botella de vino y algunos snaks. Muy buen detalle.

Cons:

Solo para mejorar la reposición de agua para beber. Al llegar hay un botellon con agua pero al terminar no se repone. Un detalle menor, pero que puede sumar.

It shouldnt be a small luxury hotel of the world
Pros:

The property is very well located, but definitively do not deserve to be a small luxury hotel of the world. No view at all, no service

Cons:

They priorized service use of the only elevator over guests at prime breakfast time.
To say the window from the room had no view would be an exageration! It was not even a window

Lovely boutique hotel in the heart of Rome
Pros:

Location cannot be beat - right between Piazza Popolo and the Spanish Steps. My wife and I love to shop and the little streets in the area are filled with wonderful boutiques. The hotel setup a golf cart tour of Rome for our family which we really enjoyed. The housekeeping staff was kind enough to setup the sofa bed as well for sleep and it was quite comfy.
