La camera era comodo e fornita di ogni confort, dall'angolo col bollitore, alla culla e una poltrona a forma di uovo
Pros:

Camera accogliente, posizione ottima e parcheggio davanti alla struttura.

Cons:

Bagno piccolo fornito di vasca, avrei preferito doccia ma problema superabile.

Pros:

Boli sme maximálne spokojní... Manžel mal dokonca v čase pobytu narodeniny. Po návrate z výletu ho na izbe čakala flaša kvalitného vína a blahoželanie. Boli sme veľmi milo prekvapení. Pri ďalšej návšteve sa určite vrátime..

Fantastic hotel
Pros:

The hotel Gaurdian is the perfect location for accessing all of the sites in Rome. With friendly and informative reception staff, who were happy to provide assistance. The rooms were excellent. Clean and modern. Very comfy bed. The breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Great quality. Staff were lovely. The bonus for us was the fantastic rooftop bar. It was a great way to end busy sightseeing days. We loved the relaxed and calm atmosphere. Just brilliant. Highly recommended this hotel. We will be back!

Średni
Pros:

Na plus w pokoju osobno toaleta i osobno umywalka z lustrem.

Dobre śniadania, ładne pokoje

Cons:

Pokój dwuosobowy sprzedany jako trzyosobowy. Brak 3 zestawu do herbaty itd. Za mały pokój jak na 3 osoby. Stosunek ceny nie odpowiada jakości. Czasem zbyt duży hałas Pań sprzątających.
