Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Well situated. A short walk to St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican museums. Loved the quirky room, drums as end tables and disco ball in the bathroom. King-sized bed was comfortable. Staff was pleasant and attentive from check-in to checkout. Breakfast, which was included, was an excellent way to start the day. Would definitely stay there again if we visit Rome again.

Good value for money and close to the Vatican City. Public transport access excellent. Nearby corner shops for Knick knack. Walk with your favourite CD to play otherwise listen to the radio. Love the disco lights in the bathroom. Breakfast is just right, continental with good variety, consistent. You and dine in or outside in the garden. Brilliant staff days and night especially Marco.

This hotel has air conditioning which is needed during summer. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to St Peter’s Basilica and to the metro. The staff are quite helpful and friendly. A special shout-out to Marco for his excellent work! You also get a free bottled water which was a nice touch. All in all. I was quite satisfied with this affordable hotel.

Hotel not signed apart from one projected on the ground outside. Bit difficult to find, even with Google Maps. Room a bit disappointing as expected something as music related and furnished as one I had in Barcelona. But, had a good bed, small desk (with coffee making machine) and chair, large wardrobe with safe and decent bathroom with a shower stall, which was ok for me but, er, larger people may find it too small. All very clean with cleaners in everyday to make up bed and tidy up. Maybe a bit basic, but it ticked all the boxes for required facilities. Has a pleasant courtyard for meals out back for breakfast if not raining. My room was on the first floor with a patio door opening onto a common area overlooking the courtyard, with tables and chairs outside each of the three first floor rear rooms. Can sit out in the evenings if you choose. There is a modern lift for the four floors of the hotel. I've seen reviews for other hotels describing them as being 'tired' hotels, despite great photos on Expedia. Not this one. Possibly a bit basic but you are going out in Rome not staying in your room. Receptionists very helpful sorting a faulty safe ASAP and showing me the best aircon setting as on the first night I didn’t have it. Other friendly chatting re the football & can borrow cds for the cd player/radio in the room. The two guys in the breakfast room were great and very friendly. 15 mins from St Peter's Square, about 20 from Ottiavano metro. Bus r

No chance to eat breakfast because of airport shuttle schedule. Walls of my room need cleaning. Very marked up. Also, visible water stains on ceiling. Very clean, otherwise. Good hot water and pressure. Maybe it's particularly American but I was surprised I had to locate blankets in the closet. Bar soap preferable at sink. Towels were nicely sized and neatly prepared. Safe in room was a welcome amenity as we're the slippers. Biggest complaint is noise. The bar/club noise next door is a big problem as are the wandering partying guests outside yelling etc. A feature of the hotel is the rooftop bar but it was inaccessible to guests because it was reserved for an 18 year old's birthday party. Brown water poured from my faucet briefly as it did for another guest next door. Staff friendly and helpful. Shuttle on time and reasonably priced. It was an amenity in choosing the hotel. Good location for harbor views and restaurants and not too far from spectacular Roman ruins.

Overall it was a good hotel. Not very many amenities, didn’t feel like hotel but more like apartment. It was in a residential neighborhood with only 2 restaurants on the block. However it was only 10 min walk from everything which was very nice. The staff was amazing though!!! Super friendly and Marco was the best he was so nice and helpful. We had a great experience.
