A little conflicted. But would have to say more style over substance. Check in was friendly and easy and quick. Hotel room was big and spacious. Location walking distance to everything. Down side. Went to get coffee after arriving early. Directed to sit in lobby of restaurant and told she would take care of us. No one ever came back. We looked around. Nothing. We left after 20 minutes of not being served. Decided to try our luck at roof top. Cold night. No heaters. Seated quickly but took 10 min for someone to take our order. Happy hour not clear so if explained would not have ordered food as well. Had to ask twice in 10 minutes to get 2 glasses of wine. It was not busy. Asked for bill and showed voucher. Was first told to see manager, but then said server would take care of. We waited. We had to get up and go to cash to pay as never came back. Cafè across corner can serve 10 at once. And quick. Mama shelter needs better staff training for restaurants. No coffee/ tea facilities in room. Could not get kettle so had to buy my own as restaurant only opens at 0700. One garbage can in room. Masks were odd. Overall great location but would suggest you just sleep and get out to the eternal city.

Excellent staff and servicing, rooms spacious and well equipped. Quirky design interesting and engaging. Only criticism is evenings in restaurant far too noisy. Presence of DJ very distracting and made it impossible to have dinner conversation. On request we were quickly moved to Pizzeria area (thankfully not too busy during our visit) which was slightly quieter but music still intrusive.

The hotel was excellent, clean and quiet. The staff was very helpful, and the restaurant had excellent food and coffee. It was just a minute walk from the metro station and bus stop, so very easy to get around to everything within 10-20 minutes at most. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood away from all the tourists.

Cannot say enough nice things about this stay. I don't travel much, they made everything SO EASY and SO NICE. The restaurant in the hotel is PHENOMENAL. The staff were KIND and HELPFUL. The room and furniture and common spaces and finishes are VERY high end. Will recommend to every person going to Rome. Oh and the LOCATION is 10 minutes from the Spanish Steps via metro. And it's right next to Bonci? Amazing.

Excellent customer service. They took their time to give instructions. Always ready to help. The only downside is the lack os space in the room because the bed is at the centre of the room. Other than that, it’s all great!
