Clean and lovely rooms although rooms are very small. We couldn’t lay on floor both suitcases. Hotel is down an alleyway which makes it very quiet in rooms but not ideal as far as an entranceway goes. Very convenient to a number of attractions and restaurants in Rome. Also a bus stops close that takes you straight to train station.
