Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although agreed upon in advance, felt tiny and ill-equipped, leading to discomfort during the night due to poor air circulation behind the curtains. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff offering a delightful experience. The location is superb, allowing easy access to major attractions, although the high restaurant prices were a downside. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the rooftop view, and the facilities were satisfactory.
Staying at this hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms, while equipped with a mini bar fridge and a safe, fell short of the glamorous image portrayed on the website, being small and cramped. On the positive side, the service was exceptional, from the helpful bellman to the attentive Maitre d', who even made a thoughtful gesture of spring flowers as an apology. The location, though ideal for sightseeing and dining, seemed to lack the expected luster. Dining, on the other hand, offered a spectacular view of the Imperial forum but was hit-or-miss with the buffet breakfast. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.
The hotel has a quaint charm, with slightly dated rooms and reception but a lovely terrace to relax. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from Rome's iconic Colosseum. The service is welcoming with outstanding views of the Roman Forum. The dining experience, though with great views, may be limited. Overall, a great choice for exploring the historic sites of Rome.
I couldn't have asked for a better location in Roma. The hotel offers amazing views of the Forum and classical buildings, and it's just a stone's throw away from key landmarks like the Colosseo. However, dining prices were steep, with even a boiled egg costing 5 Euros! Nonetheless, the comfort of the room and the convenience of being right under the dining room made my stay memorable.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were well appointed, spacious, and charming, with a really lovely private balcony and large bathroom. The view of the forum from my room was simply breathtaking. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. The location couldn't have been better, being close to all the main tourist spots and right by the Colosseum. The dining experience was varied and plentiful, offering a great view of the Forum. The facilities were excellent, making my stay truly enjoyable.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway, but they could use a bit of refurbishment due to their age. The service was top-notch, with staff being incredibly helpful and always around to assist. The location was ideal, offering a peaceful atmosphere while still being within walking distance of major tourist attractions. The dining options were limited, but the overall experience was pleasant. I would definitely recommend this hotel for its charm and convenience.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while just off a nice terrace with a view of the forum, had a bit of a humid smell and could use a bathroom upgrade. The service was welcoming and helpful, but some staff members seemed disinterested. The location, right in the heart of ancient Rome and close to the Colosseum, was unbeatable. The dining was enjoyable with a good buffet selection. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Roman Forum and Coliseum, making it perfect for exploring the historic areas. The rooms were clean and tidy but in need of some minor improvements. The service was exceptional, especially in helping with detailed information and arranging transportation for our family.
The hotel's location is truly exceptional, right by Ancient Forum with easy access to key attractions in Rome. The rooms, while cozy with a queen bed, could benefit from some improvements such as better lighting and power outlets. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were minor issues with reservations. The dining options were convenient but pricey. Overall, a mixed experience with great location and service but room for enhancements.
The hotel is ideally situated close to all the top tourist attractions, offering clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. A downside would be the high prices in the hotel restaurant for basic items like eggs.
