The hotel rooms were big, clean, and very quiet, with okay amenities. I appreciated the free mobile phone provided in the room for use during the stay. The service was particularly friendly and useful, and they organized our airport transfer as well. The location was great for walking to restaurants and sights, although not in the heart of Rome. The dining was worth the extra cost, and the facilities were convenient for my stay.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are spacious and enjoyable, with some being claustrophobic, but the beds are great. The service is accommodating and helpful, especially for vegetarians, but there were issues with room access. The location is excellent for sightseeing and public transport, although there might be better options for the money. The dining experience is good with delicious options, and the facilities are well-kept.

The hotel is perfectly situated, close to major attractions but away from crowded tourist spots. The rooms, though compact with minimal storage, feature modern amenities like a Manet and offer views of the ventilation system. The attentive service and helpful staff enhance the overall experience, resolving issues promptly and providing useful guidance for first-time visitors. The dining options provide good value for money, with a rich selection of fruits and juices available for breakfast. However, the small rooms and occasional noise from neighboring toilets are minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, although the bed had a slight dip in the middle due to two beds pushed together. The service was adequate, meeting my needs without issues, despite the initial lack of friendliness. The location near Roma Termini station was superb, with easy access to transportation. The dining experience at the hotel's restaurant was a great value, offering a buffet spread for a minimal cost.
