When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Our family had a great stay here a few few days in Rome. We used the hotel's shuttle to pick us up from the airport (there is an additional charge), and then to take us to to our cruise port after our stay (additional charge). The hotel is within easy walking distance to the tourist locations we wanted to visit, and the included breakfast was very nice. The hotel has a small elevator to bring luggage up upon arrival, which was very helpful. The room itself had a separate little area with two small beds for our kids. The view from the roof is also very beautiful.

Just arrived back from a wonderful 6 nights in the beautiful city of Rome. We booked this hotel for location and cost and probably weren’t expecting very much. To our pleasant surprise the hotel surpassed all our expectations. The room we had was on the second floor and looked as if it had recently been modernised and was spotlessly clean. Large en-suite with a walk in shower. Towels could be changed every day if you wished but we chose to have this done every second. Access to the floors was by a quaint old lift, which went from a few steps above the entrance to the 6th floor, where you went up a couple of flights of external stairs to the roof top bar area. The reception was on the 4th floor. The view from the roof was amazing with particularly good views to St Peter’s due to its close vicinity. We used the bar after returning from our evening meal, which was usually within a few 100 metres of the hotel, plenty choice. The barman was a very pleasant young man and greeted us every night with a big smile and his muscleman apron. From here we could see the light show on the facade of St Peter’s. The breakfast was ample and just what was needed before a day exploring the city. We walked all the time although we understand that public transport is also good and very cheap. We used bus and metro on arrival at Ciampino we took a 520 bus to Cinecitta where we connected with the A line metro which took us to Lepanto just a 7 min walk from the hotel and cost just €1.50 each, a white taxi costs €31. On our arrival Guiseppi at reception was extremely helpful and provided us with a map which he marked up for us with all the sites and gave us venue website addresses to book any visits and also gave us the option of booking through the hotel which provided a discount to advertised rates of the private companies. We would definitely recommend and would return

Location was very good. Walking distance to the Vatican City and also close to metro station where you could easily get to all other attractions. Many nice restaurants and cafes in the areas beside the hotel so no problem finding places to eat or drink and wasn’t a busy tourist area.
The rooftop area had great views but no food or drink served up there.
Some down points, the shower was in the hotel room rather than the en-suite which was a bit strange. Also the door didn’t close correctly on the shower so floor of bedroom often ended up wet.
The double bed was 2 single beds pushed together, so made for quite uncomfortable dip in the middle.
There was only one spare socket in the room so wasn’t ideal for charging phones etc.
Also construction work ongoing on the same floor as our room so plenty of banging going on during daytime hours.
The breakfast was absolutely awful, we only had it one of the 3 mornings even though it was included in the price. We thought we were going for the safe option with cereal but on inspection the only fresh milk was over 2 weeks out of date. They had an “Irish/English” style breakfast but this consisted of frankfurter sausages and scrambled eggs that we didn’t dare try. The only edible options were croissants and toast.
Also we were charged €4pp per night for city taxes and they would only accept cash for this.
Overall, I would stay here again as good value for money but definitely some compromises are being made for the cheaper rate.

I am disappointed in this hotel. I booked a trip for May 2020 with American Airlines miles and the trip was cancelled due to Covid. It was not our choice - the airline stopped flying to Italy and obviously borders were closed. The hotel has refused to refund the miles to me, via American. I would have booked with a refundable option but that was not a choice.
I understand the strains of these unprecedented times, but we cleared out our miles to stay at this hotel and to lose them for reasons out of our control is disappointing. I recommend that anyone booking with this hotel in the future be sure to book refundable rooms (if given the option).

Our group of four was there for 2 nights. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable. Now for the not so good. There were no washcloths in the bathroom and only one plastic drinking glass. The bed had only a thin sheet and we were not told that extra blankets were available in the closet. We found this out halfway through the second night. The lobby consisted of a small room with reception desk and could hardly fit 4 people and the front desk person seemed overwhelmed. The elderly gentleman the next morning seemed unable to deal with the request to order a taxi and ended up ordering two, resulting in an altercation between the two taxi drivers. Not a great start to our daytrip to Venice. My husband was sick so stayed behind in bed. Since there was no "Do Not Disturb" sign to put out he double locked the door and went back to sleep. Halfway through the morning a woman entered the room to clean it, somehow bypassing the locked door. Would strongly recommend they get "Do Not Disturb" signs soonest. We can't comment on the breakfast since we didn't have time to try it. I'm fully aware that hotels in Europe are different to those in Canada and I'm not basing my review in that comparison. We had stayed at another hotel prior to our cruise and it was wonderful and in the same price range, so I feel I am comparing apples to apples. All-in-all I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Stayed in this hotel just last week and it was an absolute pleasure. The staff in this hotel are so kind and helpful, they are amazing. Hotel was spotless and comfortable. Our room was a bit small and the shower was in the bedroom which was a bit unusual but it was fine for us we were only there for 4 nights. Its very close to the Vatican but I would suggest taxi to the Colleuseum.
Just a couple of things I would suggest: Tea making faclities would be so nice in the room possibly a welcome pack giving a bit of information about the facilities in the spa and gym. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful stay.

The location is great and the neighborhood is beautiful, but this was a very strange stay.
The bed was truly one of the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on in my life. When you sat on the bed, the springs recoiled so much you were basically sitting on the frame. Both my husband and I woke up with pains in our legs from this bed, and neither of us are that old! Horrible, really, and since we tossed and turned so much we had a poor night's sleep. I was glad the second night was the night before our departure so it didn't ruin my sightseeing experience.
We stayed two nights and if we had planned for a third we would have checked into a different hotel, it was that uncomfortable.
Otherwise, I would say it was clean but it's not really a hotel, it's a hostel. Decorations are lurid, the lighting is odd and the shower has clear doors and is in the bedroom with no barrier to the bedroom. If one person is showering, they will have to enter the shower in full view of the other person. Make sure you're totally comfortable with the person you're traveling with lol.
The AC was great which is a point in its favor. Staff were also pleasant and helpful but I just can't recommend it at all.

Stayed here for 3 nights in Nov 21. The rooms are small but very clean and well maintained and were cleaned every day when we came back. You dont stay in Rome to stay in your room so size isnt a problem. There is a lovely rooftop you can go up to and look at views of the city by day or night. They have a fridge of beer in reception that you buy for good value, bottles of beer or wine and bring them up. Its a great location to base yourself to walk to most tourist attractions, the closet being Vatican City. Its a 5 minute walk from Lepanto metro which is great as the metros in Rome are far and few between unlike Paris. Staff are all very friendly and helpful, more on that later. Has a great old style lift like a cage. It also has 24 hour reception which is handy
and now for the but
The walls are very thin, so you can hear other toilets flushing and even people talking some times if they have loud voices. The breakfast is dreadful, its cheap but poor, small stale bits of bread for toast, burnt bacon, frankfurters for sausages and scrambled egg that is dried up. Orange juice was red, horrible tea and coffee. There is a lovely Cafe 2 mins down the road to the right as you come out the hotel door. 1.50 for lovely coffee and 1.50 for pastries
Dont trust Giuseppe, he recommended 2 restaurants nearby and both were poor. Ragno D'Oro been one with crazy Fabio. Hes more than crazy, hes rude and annoying, tried to force food on us we didnt order and took offence when we said we wanted what we ordered. Food was poor too and quite pricey. German couple beside us werent happy either. Also Giuseppe recommended we stay away from the far side of the river near the "touristy area" and stay near the hotel, which we did for the first 2 nights. Our final night we went over to the Piazza Navona area on the other side to find the place was alive with great little bars and restaurants with singing and music it was amazing. Also found a restaurant with a real Italian owner and beautiful food, we were disappointed we found this on our final night. The area around the hotel was dead and quite dirty in places with big waste disposal bins overflowing all over the road.
Apart from that it is a good little hotel

This hotel is in a wonderful location and not far from the Vatican. The staff was terrific and very helpful. Since we arrived very early they allowed us to drop off our luggage to see the city and checked us in early after about an hour. There wasn’t a tea kettle or coffee pot in the room, but the breakfast was very good. We loved the rooftop area at night.

The location was great, near to the bus stop for airport shuttle, near to the restaurants, etc. But, the bedroom was terrible, the bed is divided in half, the A/C didn’t work well, they don’t have iron available for clothes, the light was a little damaged, the telephone never work so I have to go to front desk everytime I need something. Also the wifi was bad… My experience was terrible, I’ve been in other hotels for the same rate and the experience was wide better.
