The property was hidden away on a side street. The room was clean and in decent condition. There were some marks to the head board. The private bathroom for our room was along the hall as opposed to being en suite was the only thing which stopped this from being a 5 star review. The whole staff are very good and responsive. I would recommend it to my friends, as location is great: 15 minute walk to collosseum, trevi fountain is about similar, pantheon a bit further like 30 minutes.

Staff were very attentive and so kind. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome upon arrival and nothing we asked was to much trouble. The map we received on check in of Rome and the sites and the best way to navigate the city helped us immensely. Rooms were modern and clean. Minimal noise from other guests or street. Fantastic location 2 minutes walk to metro. Good local restaurants.

It was hard to find due no sign and not really any further description beside the building. 3rd floor and was surprised he wanted the city tax right off the bat. Pillow n bed were ok quality but it was a bigger room n bath room was great but very little shelves to place stuff. Great restraunts n historical areas n shops but at night seemed a bit scary to go out.

the bed in this room was TERRIBLE. The pillows were flat and worn out. The bed itself was hard and lumpy, and I could not sleep on it. The linens were not the best either. I checked out a day early because of this. The breakfast was in theory a nice touch but the quality of what was served was poor. The person manning the desk gave me an impression that he would rather not be bothered and when I asked for transportation arrangements to the airport (which I thought was included) he told me he could not help me. He also told me this when I asked him to call a cab for me. There's no outside signage to help you identify where the hotel is. There was no apparent way to control the climate and I couldn't keep the window open for too long because it was very noisy outside. I felt the area was unsafe and was warned by a couple of locals to be careful. This caused sleeplessness as I was worried. You are given a key card to operate the electricity and you also need this card to get into the room. I was not told this and thank god I knew to take the card with me. If I had not known I would not have been able to get into my room. The elevator is very small and can only fit two people at a time comfortably. The shower head jets were spraying in different directions and the pressure was not the best. Pros of the property- ceiling art and cleanliness.

Good News...Nice Staff, central location (edgy neighborhood). A good valuables safe. Less Good news...black mold above shower, broken towel rack. Poor lighting. Limited shelf space or storage. This property is at best is a 2 star hotel. Any time your first image of a hotel is a hallway full of garbage cans, you should be concerned. Pictures available.

Terrible experience and bad service
First night I got a room where the switches to turn on the light were broken. Also, the toilet didn't have a seat and there was no hot water. The second night they fixed the hot water problem and they changed me to another room which had silverfish in the bathroom. The third night the room's door was stuck and I couldn't get inside my room, so they offered le another room and they said I could go out to enjoy the city while they fixed the problem. When I came back, they had changed my belongings to they new room and some of my bathroom things where missing. I talked to the manager and she told me they couldn't do anything until they could open again the other room's door. Next morning I talked to the supervisor (who barely spoke english) and I told them that my stay had been terrible and If they planned to do something to compensate me. She didn't even apologize as I was standing there so I decided to leave and told them I was going to leave a bad review. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE A BAD EXPERIENCE.

Supper clean, best location, lack of basic things
Supper clean in a very good location but I can not recommend it for a family trip for those who travel with a kid. There were not basic yet necessary things like glasses, water boiler and microwave there so imagine how we manage it with a baby! I do love the building, the owner who was a very kind person but honestly they need to consider these basic things to be there for their guest. Doesn't cost that much but make the room more comfortable. Wifi was super weak and disconnected many times.

The accommodations themselves were adequate, well situated, and very clean, but the service was so bad that we checked out a day early despite not being refunded for the final night. Short version: the guests were all accidentally locked out of their rooms due to technical difficulties with the key cards, and the manager refused to return to the hotel to let us in because it was after her usual working hours and she lives outside the city. Any hotel can have a problem, but it's generally good practice to try and fix it. Instead, management told us that we were probably just using the keys incorrectly and that she'd come to work at 7:30 the next morning to let us in. There was a lot of back and forth and unproductive suggestions before we finally got into our rooms, totally by fluke and with no help from management, after being locked out for nearly four hours at night. Should have been tipped off right away on day 1 when we had to wait for management to finish arguing with another guest before we could check in. Avoid.

Exceptionally clean, friendly staff
We were very happy with this place. It seemed to us that Rome was huge and just went on forever. I would recommend getting bicycles for you stay in Rome. They can be ridden almost everywhere in the city and you will get to see much more than you would without them. Plus its a lot of fun! Rent a bike on day one and use it to find a place with better bikes! (some are super crappy, buy you will be walking forever looking for the next bike rental spot) The air conditioner in the room turned on but I couldn't feel any difference, so we had to open the window. Luckily It wasn't insanely hot while we were there. Other than that everything was perfect.

Awful experience with owner
The location, room, cleanliness, and cleaning staff were all wonderful. I read other reviews that the beds are hard and the shower trickles water- this was true but manageable. We had an awful experience with the owner- their was some confusion on our arrival if we had in fact paid through Expedia or not- we wanted to confirm with our credit card if we had in fact paid already so we didn't pay twice. During the process she was rude, condescending and caused us to feel very uncomfortable during our stay. We were staying two separate days (one in the beginning and one in the end of our travel)- at check in she forced us to also pay for the day we were staying a week away and would not give us a receipt for proof of payment. Due to her unprodessionalosm I would not recommend a stay at this hotel.

Awful employee-possible owner
Their was some confusion regarding payment via Expedia when we arrived. We were told we hadn't yet paid so we wanted to verify with our credit card before paying which took 5 minutes. Before we made the actual call the employee, who we believe was the owner, was rude and condescending. We booked two separate nights (one at the beginning and one at the end of our trip)-she made us pay for both at check, was extremely rude and wouldn't give us a receipt which concerned us because we had no proof we paid and had to stay there one more night on our return to Rome. The hotel is a smaller privately run business. We found our room to be clean- the cleaning staff was very kind and helpful. The cleaning staff prepares breakfast which was very nice and delicious. I read in other reviews the shower trickles water and that was our experience as well. Overall, we would not recommend this hotel to others due to the hassle involved with the owner.

Very basic single accomm
I received important check in info. too late for it to be useful. Arriving late at night, had to rely on local waiter, guesswork and a kind fellow guest who answered the doorbell on my last exasperated attempt and gave me passwords etc. Lucky he spoke some English or that transaction might have taken 5 times as long. It is hard to find. Maybe a warning email 2 days before would be a good solution. The room is tiny, bed not to comforable. Wifi and aircon worked. Did not do b'fast. It seems like a one night job. Like student campus accomm.

Rome Trip
We had a fantastic stay in Rome, made partly by Ana and her lovely hotel. We were greeted with hugs and kisses when we arrived and was given so much great advice upon check in. The location is great - right beside a metro and within walking distance of anything other than Trastevere (which is across the river). The maid was fantastic, the room was immaculate every day. If we come back to Rome we will definitely stay here.

Quiet location 15min to the Colosseum
Nice clean and quiet hotel close to the main attraction. 10min walk to Termini station. The stairwell stairs can be a bit slippery so be careful but the lift is smooth, quiet and quaint. No signage out the front so if you're not prepared it could be a hard place to find. But once you're inside the traffic noise disappears.

Great hotel, clean, safe and friendly staff!
The hotel was perfect for our short stay. The reception was open 24 hours and the staff is really friendly and helpful. We appreciated that they helped us to print out our tickets for sightseeings etc. They also welcomed us very friendly, gave us a map and showed us where the best spots are on the map. The room was clean and the size was also perfect including a bathroom. Whenever we came back from a tour, the room was cleaned and we got new frsh towels. As we already looked at reviews about this hotel, we already knew that there is no sign on the outside with the hotel name. We were aware of that and therefore it was no problem for us to find the hotel by using the house number. It was also nice that we got breakfast in our rooms after calling the reception. The breakfast included orange juice as well as a hot drink of choice, croissants, jam, nutella, butter and rusk. The amount was enough and the hot chocolate really nice. The only thing that we did not like 100% was that the breakfast was very sweet, which we are not used to but others could like more. I guess this is more about where you are from and what you are used to. The location of the hotel was great and very close to the colloseo as well as to the Termini, which is the main station. All in all, the hotel experience was great, friendly staff, clean rooms and good location. We can definitely recommend the hotel to other people and would go back to this hotel for a short stay in Rome.

Do not be put off by the hotels star rating. We were met by a very friendly and helpful receptionist who gave us directions to everything that we needed to see in the city. We had a continental breakfast each morning which set us perfectly for the day. The space in the room was more than adequate. It's an ideal location to get around everywhere with loads of good prices restaurants minutes away. We would definately stay again.

The hotel wasn't necessarily difficult to find once I stopped relying entirely on google maps. The buildings are numbered so when you find the building you may (if main entrance is closed) have to buzz into the building by selecting the name of the hotel on the outside (this was easy to overlook hence why it was difficult to find the hotel or know where to enter). Once you buzz the hotel, they will open the two corresponding doors and from there you will have to take a lift up to the hotel. Note: the hotel is inside of a residential building.

Great location
Kind and helpful staff. Small single room with a bathroom. Simple, adequate and clean. Disappointed the TV didn't have one English channel. Enjoyed tha breakfasts delivered to the room. The hotel was a 15 min walk or one stop by metro from the central train station. I had some trouble finding it's exact location on the street. There is no hotel sign, the door was locked in the early afternoon and the bell was not obvious. There were many condominiums listed so it was confusing. After a few minutes a resident of the building entered and explained where to ring. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here for the price. Nice clean room, which had everything I needed. Small room, but I don't need tons of space, and the furniture in the room is nicely organized so more space is created. The only problem is the buzzer at night. I can always hear the ring when someone wants to get in the bldg. I would definitely come here again whenever in Rome! Great staff!
