Ottima esperienza nel cuore di Roma
Pros:

Ottima posizione, splendida vista dalla terrazza e finalmente un frigorifero in camera che non fa rumore! Non sono aggiornato sulle assegnazioni delle stelle alberghiere, ma a me è sembrato un servizio da 4 stelle, non da 3.

Cons:

Forse solo l'illuminazione naturale, che per intrinseca conformazione dell'edificio in alcune stanze è un po' sacrificata.

Tornerò, ma non al 4 piano!
Pros:

È un hotel in cui torno spesso, primo per il prezzo e poi perché tutto sommato mi trovo bene.

Cons:

Questa volta purtroppo mi è capitata una stanza al 4 piano, tra reception e sala colazione ed era abbastanza rumorosa. Ma la cosa più fastidiosa era che l’aria condizionata ogni tot si spegneva e a Roma c’erano 37 gradi. Quindi tornerò, ma chiederò sempre una stanza che non sia al 4 piano!

We had a great time staying here.
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, breakfast, nice staff, rooftop with Vatican view, safety, good shower.

Cons:

Air conditioning did not work well last few days. (But, staff people immediately tried to solve the problem for us. Just wish it could get fixed.)

Buena opción cerca del Vaticano
Pros:

La ubicación, a un par de cuadras del Vaticano, la vista excelente y la tina de hidromasaje fabulosa después de un día de caminatas largas. Otros sitios de interés como Fontana de Trevi o el Coliseo están algo lejos pero de muy fácil acceso en metro de la cual hay una estación muy cerca

Cons:

La habitación un tanto estrecha, hay un tramo de escaleras al ingreso que dificulta si hay equipaje pesado, sin embargo el señor de seguridad muy gentilmente nos ayudó a subir las maletas. Una vez en el lobby hay un ascensor antiguo y pequeño pero funcional, eso sí, con paciencia.
