great location friendly staff nearby restaurants small room noise insulation loud music
This hotel has a great location near the Colosseum. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I appreciated that there were several restaurants nearby (Guenda was amazing!).
The room was quite small, and I could hear noise from neighboring rooms. Loud music played from a nearby restaurant until late one night. This made it difficult to sleep (around 3 AM).

Charming Stay Near the Colosseum

The staff displayed superb friendliness and competence. It was easy to walk to the Colosseum and Roman Forum in about 15 minutes. A local cafe provided breakfast and afternoon gelato just down the street. I appreciate the daily room cleaning and effective air conditioning.
I noticed the shower was quite small. This made it a bit difficult to maneuver.
