We loved the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms, with separate bedroom and bath areas. The hotel facilities were top-notch, including the dreamy royal beds and balconies overlooking the vibrant streets. Its prime location, close to the train station and shopping street, made exploring the city incredibly convenient. Additionally, the staff was always helpful, responding promptly to numerous e-mails and providing excellent service.
We had a fantastic stay in this hotel. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The location was perfect, within walking distance to major attractions like the Coliseum, Roman Forum, Fountain of Trevi, and Spanish Steps. The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood, which made our stay even more relaxing. The breakfast offered a good variety of options for our Western tastes. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly throughout our stay.
Nothings. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way.
We absolutely loved the central location of the hotel as it allowed us to walk to all the major sites in this city. The hotel had a variety of inviting and comfortable public areas where we could relax and unwind. Our room was spacious, clean, and had all the necessary amenities. The staff were incredibly helpful and the 24/7 gym was definitely a plus. We also appreciated the option of having breakfast delivered to our room on Sunday for a cozy start to the day.
Everything was great.
The hotel is in a great neighborhood, close to the main attractions and right next to the American embassy. Conveniently, we were able to walk to the Borghese Gallery and the Spanish Steps. The cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. We especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast served every morning. The staff were friendly and always ready to assist us with any requests.
Nothing that we didn't like.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel in this beautiful city. The room and bathroom sizes were perfect for our family, especially when traveling with young children. The hotel facilities were top-notch, and we particularly loved the spacious and luxurious suite we were upgraded to. The staff were always pleasant and accommodating, and the concierge was extremely helpful. The location of the hotel was ideal, as it was within walking distance to some of the city's most iconic attractions and close to public transportation. The hotel also provided wonderful amenities, from the cleanliness of the rooms to the thoughtful turndown service with linen towels and lavender oil for a better sleep.
It was all superb.
