We'd never been to Italy before and so this was our introduction. The plan was to stay for one night and move on to Rome. Just somewhere to sleep...... The hotel is an homage to all things Silver Screen. Once you climb the very Italian stair case to the entrance, you are instantly transported in a film buff's heaven! Every wall is covered in photos and scenes from films. There are items and props strewn on every surface and at every corner. Where ever you turn the place is utterly fascinating. Our room was a New York Theme again with items, props and paintings all taking you on an amazing journey. The room itself was perfectly fine. Clean and tidy - with the most interesting view form the window ever. We were in a court yard of sorts with hundreds of flats and balconies. It was something else from a film. Breakfast the following morning was full and varied with a very attentive waiter. Great fun for a short stay. Would absolutely go back again!!

Front desk afternoon/evening attendant did not speak English. We asked for a recommendation for a restaurant and had him write it down. Spelling was incorrect and didn't correlate to anything in the area that he sent us to. Evening attendant could be found smoking just outside the door by the desk.

Room - clean and basic. Very noisy from the air conditioner flap (something continually banged when the air conditioner was in use) to the street noise (louder when using the air conditioner) to the cleaning attendants banging doors.

Bathroom - small but serviceable. Shower was tight for a average sized adult man.

Breakfast - no hot foods; a couple of tortes, a marble (chocolate and vanilla) cake, croissants, yogurt, tomatoes, cheese, cereal. Coffee was good.
