We liked the location, walking distance to the Vatican and not too far for other attractions, The pick-up transfer from the airport was very confusing, both to book and to find once at the airport. It was September but still very hot out, especially since we were walking every where. The a/c in the room was cool but barely- we do wish we could have made it colder. Breakfast was nice but I don't think it was worth the price. I would not pay for it again. The patio area is very cute and peaceful. We were supposed to get complimentary water every day: I asked for it after a day of a lot of walking and he said no, assuming it was in our room. It wasn't. Looking back I think even if there was water waiting in our room, it would have been nice to get some water when we needed it the most. Our room was on the 3rd floor and the elevator is not air conditioned.
First time in Roma and I was very happy with the room, staff, and service. The location is also good. I forgot a ring and Stefano replied immediately when I texted via WhatsApp. I was able to recover it because a friend went to pick it up. Stefano was very kind and helpful.
Thank you, I will return again.
Well situated. A short walk to St. Peter’s Square and the Vatican museums. Loved the quirky room, drums as end tables and disco ball in the bathroom. King-sized bed was comfortable. Staff was pleasant and attentive from check-in to checkout. Breakfast, which was included, was an excellent way to start the day. Would definitely stay there again if we visit Rome again.

Nice, quiet place, close to buses, metro, tram and the Vatican. Wonderful restaurants nearby, especially the Antico Falcone (Via Trionfale), and good ice cream at Manny's Gelateria (Largo Trionfale).

It is a great cosy hotel just 20 min walk from Vatican museums. The hotel looks brand new. The room is spacious. The mattress and pillows are comfy.
Good value for money and close to the Vatican City. Public transport access excellent. Nearby corner shops for Knick knack. Walk with your favourite CD to play otherwise listen to the radio. Love the disco lights in the bathroom. Breakfast is just right, continental with good variety, consistent. You and dine in or outside in the garden. Brilliant staff days and night especially Marco.
This hotel has air conditioning which is needed during summer. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to St Peter’s Basilica and to the metro. The staff are quite helpful and friendly. A special shout-out to Marco for his excellent work! You also get a free bottled water which was a nice touch. All in all. I was quite satisfied with this affordable hotel.
Hotel not signed apart from one projected on the ground outside. Bit difficult to find, even with Google Maps.
Room a bit disappointing as expected something as music related and furnished as one I had in Barcelona. But, had a good bed, small desk (with coffee making machine) and chair, large wardrobe with safe and decent bathroom with a shower stall, which was ok for me but, er, larger people may find it too small. All very clean with cleaners in everyday to make up bed and tidy up. Maybe a bit basic, but it ticked all the boxes for required facilities.
Has a pleasant courtyard for meals out back for breakfast if not raining. My room was on the first floor with a patio door opening onto a common area overlooking the courtyard, with tables and chairs outside each of the three first floor rear rooms. Can sit out in the evenings if you choose.
There is a modern lift for the four floors of the hotel. I've seen reviews for other hotels describing them as being 'tired' hotels, despite great photos on Expedia. Not this one. Possibly a bit basic but you are going out in Rome not staying in your room.
Receptionists very helpful sorting a faulty safe ASAP and showing me the best aircon setting as on the first night I didn’t have it. Other friendly chatting re the football & can borrow cds for the cd player/radio in the room. The two guys in the breakfast room were great and very friendly.
15 mins from St Peter's Square, about 20 from Ottiavano metro. Bus r
The photos look nothing like the actual room. Everything is 20+ years old and is moldy, rusty or doesn’t work properly. The floor was super sticky I had to buy slippers to wear my entire stay. The a/c didn’t work properly and would make loud noises randomly.
It was just okay, like nothing really stood out as good and the breakfast was not as filled as pictured, also the little espresso coffee maker was small and the water jug is like a 2 liter that you get from the store for everyone to share. I feel like the pricing should be lower for the quality tbh, stayed at other hotels with similar pricing that were just cleaner and nicer overall, it is a best western though so there’s that, also the disco ball was cool.
