The quality of the bedding was excellent, fragrance, free towels and sheets, everything was clean and orderly, rooms were unique, the staff was fun, friendly, music during breakfast was engaging and unusual, the breakfast was great, easy to get around. We would go back.
Walkable distance to the Metro, also near two tramway line. The hotel was quiet and clean. Staff was very helpful.

We only spent one night here. Hotel Staff was extremely helpful and gave great recommendations for dinner and called us a taxi the morning we were leaving. The room was small but clean and comfortable. The breakfast (cost 10 Euros each) was totally worth it and really good: coffee, meats, cheeses, eggs, pastries, Nutella, juice, etc. Hotel has a nice courtyard area perfect for enjoying some vino after dinner. There is a grocery store a few blocks away. Lots of options for dinner a short walk away. While the area outside the hotel wasn’t great, the hotel was perfect and felt safe. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the Colosseum.

Tourism tax was asked to pay in cash, not card. Not notified about that ahead of time. AC was not working properly and when asked, was not addressed. It was way too humid in our area to enjoy, I would not classify this hotel as "4" stars, more like 2 or maximum 3 stars. Would not come back.
Though the property is rather small and the rooms a little tight for space, everything was clean and comfortable, and a great value for the price. Vladdy and the rest of the staff were welcoming and helpful with friendliness and great customer service. Location was also good for sight-seeing and accessibility to attractions. Morning breakfast was perfect for the price.
Wonderful hotel! Front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the €10 breakfast was delightful. Shout out to Mike, who helped make our stay extra special!
This hotel was perfect! Very quaint, beds were super comfortable, breakfast was amazing, and the staff was great!! If you expect a large hotel room in Europe, that is not their style. I have been many places in Europe and it does not happen, so the size of the room did not bother me at all. Also, the location was perfect! Right in the center of the main sites and walking distance to markets and amazing restaurants!!
The staff bent over backwards to be sure their accessible room was up to par...and it was except the shower was a little difficult to transfer into from the wheelchair but we managed. Removing the glass enclosure and installing a curtain would make it easier. A toilet seat on the bidet/toilet would make it easier for those who cannot squat. Being that it is an old building (but very charming) the one elevator is quite small. It took some creative manhandling to get my wife's small power chair in but we managed. Aside from the items listed above, this hotel is very charming, it's staff very helpful. If you have minor mobility issues, you can use this hotel, otherwise you'd need a more modern building. We walked to most of our sight seeing destinations and found that most of the streets in Rome do not have curb cuts and sidewalks need repair.
The room we got was standard, nothing to rave about just clean and suitable, a bit small for 2 people. We didn’t stay in the room for very long other than sleep, showers and storing our baggage for a couple of days.
The area was convenient, near restaurants and transportation and walkable to The Colloseum. The staff was friendly, and the courtyard was lovely.

A so-so stay
Hotel is average. There is AC but don't expect the great thing. TV in the room was faulty, sound was on and off.
Hotel has potential to be better. They do have great staff.
The hotel is very cleverly photographed. But in reality, is a run-down BnB with minuscule rooms. We booked the "romantic view of the aqueducts" room and it was like staying in a closet. Also the entire are around the hotel is covered in graffiti. Didn't exactly feel safe.
Staff was amazing, friendly and very helpful.
Room was nice with a small balcony but very very small.
Clean, breakfast was lovely with breads, and fruit served in the outdoor garden.

Lovely staff & garden but shabby bedroom :-(
Lovely staff and gorgeous outside space for breakfast etc… But the room I was in was in pretty poor shape, very tired, small, noisy, the air-conditioning had been turned off so it was boiling hot, it all just felt very underwhelming!

Hello there Amanda,
Thank you for your review, we do have bigger rooms and even suits. As per your reservation, your room was a Double/Twin Standard.
We do know you needed a double bed not twin and we apologize for not being able to provide you with your request.

Nice stay, too warm
Nice classic hotel .. but the AC is not good at all.
Another 3 star claiming to be 4 star. In a shady part of town and the staff will agree. Lock your stuff up if you wanna keep it. Rooms have terrible AC. Breakfast is bunk. Beds and pillows are so uncomfortable. I can say that the staff are excellent. That’s it.
Hotel Emona Aquaeductus was an oasis in the busy eternal city of Roma! you are welcomed by beautiful garden with water fountains and comfortable chairs. Nero the hotel Cat is a great addition to the hotel and gardens.
All Emona staff where very friendly and keen to make sure our stay was perfect. We upgraded to a superior room with a balcony and rain shower. Well worth the small upgrade charge.
We where given lots of restaurant suggestions which all where as expected/promised. Fantastic food!!
The rooms had air conditioning, functioning windows, very clean and we felt very secure. Nice room amenities too.
The breakfast each morning was fresh and plentiful. Fresh fruit, cheeses, meats and pastries galore. The coffee was great.
The hotel is very close (5 minute walk) to public transportation including buses, trams and the Roma Metro. local convenience stores and a fantastic bakery very close to the hotel.
This is the hotel we would stay at again when travelling to Rome. It's funky and eclectic decor and furniture made the Emona Aquaeductus stand out in the best way possible.
A beautiful property, a little haven in the heart of Rome. The staff were lovely too

Dear guest,
we very pleased while reading Your comments and are glad to share them with our team,to incourage them to contnue to dedicate their best efforts in supporting our guests' vacations .Happy to host You again in Rome.
Everything is great! Shower is huge, great location, staff was very kind, bed it comfy. This hotel is exactly what anyone needs before/ after a long flight.
Excellent location for exploring Rome, several tram line only minutes from the hotel (Piazza di Porta Maggiore), and several excellent restaurants close by.
I liked the staff and service. Breakfast was good and good value. Room was cleaned regularly. I did not like that my room had no curtains or blinds as the sun came in at dawn and lit up the room. The room faced a fairly busy street with significant traffic noise so I kept doors to balcony closed.
Extremely unhygienic room, uncomfortable bed, same breakfast every day. Found hair in bed linen as well as bath linen. No facilities in the room. Very bad experinece. Could not even find a cab aa it’s not around the main roads. Would not recommend at all
Great Hotel in a great place but it is not a 4-star hotel

Nice hotel but lacks some amenities
The room was basic but clean and good enough as a base but not one to spend a lot of time in.
Though there’s a breakfast service in the hotel, there is no restaurant in the hotel so other meals require eating out. The breakfast was pretty good.
The Wi-Fi /internet connection in our room (second floor) was patchy on numerous devices. Third floor internet was seemingly better. Wi-Fi security was based on WPA so not really secure. Couldn’t recommend for business use for this reason
Staff were in general very helpful and pleasant.
Approx 10 mins walk to nearest subway/bus stop.
In summary not a bad base for a few days sightseeing but not for business travel.
A clean hotel with lovely staff. The room was ok but definitely not 4 star. The walk from Termini was through some less desirable parts of town. Breakfast finishes at 09:30 sharp! On Sunday whether you have finished or not. However overall it was a nice place to stay
no problems whatsoever. great place. everyone was nice and helped us with whatever we needed.

Not a 4-star hotel
The room given to me was a decent size but the AC was not working. I asked to change rooms but wasn't given the option to do so. Instead I was given a fan to use which was in such a poor condition that it would fall in the middle of the night. And then I was blamed for their maid breaking one of the lamps (I did not let them blame me for it and hence was not asked to pay for it). This 4-star advertised hotel was a max of a 2-star.

Nice interesting hotel but would not rate it at 4*
The hotel is quirky and interesting in decor - creates a nice atmosphere. Room was very clean and cleaning staff did a very good job each morning. Staff on the desk were efficient and pleasant but not particularly warm or welcoming. It is not luxurious and for some may be a disappointment but it is perfectly adequate. Superior room was not particularly large and lacked some basics - not much space to put clothes (no drawers) and was surprised there was no kettle/tea or coffee making facility in the rooms. No hot water one morning which meant showering in cold water. Breakfast was fine - the usual bread, cold meats/cheese, cereal - and available from 7-10 which should cater for most people's needs. There were some bacon, egg on offer but was not good. Hotel is located in an area not too far from the city centre and sights. I wouldn't term it the nicest area but it did not feel unsafe at any time. Manzoni Metro stop about 10 minute walk away (this is about 4 stops from centre of Rome and many of the sights) and a range of trams/buses very nearby - most of which went into Termini station which is 4 stops away.
A big big disappointment.
Local area was questionable, especially at night.
Classed as a 4 star hotel - no chance.
A 2 star at best.
Poor furnishings and fittings.
No toilet seat.
leaking toilet
Bed (SINGLES !) Not long enough for me.
Would never stay here again

Great staff; a mixed-bag of rooms; weird art
Before I start this review I want to say that the staff - everyone of them - was great. They worked very hard to solve problems and make sure I was satisfied. I was very disappointed with the first room I was assigned (noisy and the air conditioning didn't work). No other room was available except a tiny room obviously set aside for starving students (no bedspread or blankets and so tiny I couldn't open my suitcase). But the A/C worked and I accepted it for one night. The third room was much better (quieter with working A/C). The art work in all the rooms was strange and I had to hide the paintings in the closet because I found them a bit disturbing.
