This is listed as a 4 Star Hotel and I couldn’t tell you why You come in and the lobby smells like someone is smoking. There are no amenities that reflect the definition of a 4 star hotel… When we got to the room there was a crumpled up pillowcase and a stain on one of the twin beds. The shower leaked from the side of the glass door. We couldn’t check out 20 minutes early because there wasn’t anyone there… ordering a taxi seemed to be a big issue as well… not sure why.

Dear Janet, we are surprised to read your review after all the compliments you have made to us. I understand that you had the problem with the taxi at your departure but with all the respect you cannot book a taxi for a certain hour and then without notifying us you decide to leave 45 minutes earlier. And yes, during Ryder Cup it was a huge issue to find any taxi as we have explained to you. All the best,

Wonderful Hotel
This is a wonderful hotel. We found all the beds to be very comfortable. We found the front desk staff to be very polite and helpful. It is close to some attractions (Rome is huge so it can't be next to all attractions). It was nice to be able to open the windows and get some fresh air into the room. We felt very safe in the location and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

The staff was never warm or welcoming to us. I thought I booked the larger room since I paid extra for it. I was told I booked the standard and I should've just paid through the hotel directly instead of expedia even though I showed I paid extra for the bigger room. When we asked about breakfast we were told we didn't "pay" for breakfast. I never saw that as an add-on. I asked if we could pay then and was told there was no room for us at breakfast as the seats were all taken. They acted as if every guest would be at the table at the same time like a sit-down breakfast. I checked the following morning and there were plenty of empty seats at various times throughout the times they served breakfast. What's the big deal to pour a cappuccino and serve a croissant? The staff actually told us we were better off going out to buy our own breakfast. Completely accommodating or hospitable. We felt like a bother to them at every interaction.

Dear Steven,thank you but I'm sorry to inform you that first of all you have to know what you have booked before to complain. You booked a standard room which it's the highest category we have in this Hotel. If we didn't manage to explain it to you it's our fault. Bur for sure you did not pay any extra money. In addition to this, you chose to book without breakfast. We cannot choose what you are booking for but you can definetely. For our breakfast, we are trying to have a maximum number of guests so the service is of better quality. For all the rest, I think you have already made up your mind using the above wrong criteria so sincerely I cannot reply to you. For sure, no guest is bothering us, it is completely the contrary as we trying create a family atmosphere based even to the fact our Hotel is small.

Hotel did not live up to its description/photos, staff rude and unhelpful. We reserved an executive double/twin and we offered what looked like a standard double (smaller) upon check-in. We asked to have the 'double bed' which was two twins made up as two twins. Were first told that nothing could be done until the next day, the hotel was full, and that the beds were attached to the headboard. I showed them that the beds were not attached. Response was that housekeeping had left for the day. We offered to change the beds ourselves if sheets were provided. After much arguing, they the response was that sheets would be provided but no sheets were ever provided. We sat down for breakfast in the morning, but were told our rate did not include breakfast. We were not offered the ability to pay for it separately so we bought breakfast from the cafe across the street. We asked about parking for our car. We received incorrect info about parking on the street and finally directed to a garage about 3 blocks away which costs 45 euros for one night. To reach the hotel, you enter on the ground floor of a very musty, moldy smelling building. The refrigerator in our room did not work. Staff was generally frowning, unhappy whenever we had a question. On the good side, the room itself was clean, the property uses eco-friendly products, follows Covid protocols and was quiet. In general, for the price paid, not a good value/better choices out there.

Dear Mrs. Joyce, please read carefully the following: We have 2 categories of rooms: 1) Economy or small double room 2) Standard or Executive double rooms. It is changing just the name. So you can understand that if your room was looking like standard, it is the room you have reserved. I hope it is clear for you. On your reservation, it was requested a double bed so we prepared your room with one double bed. Also YOU had chosed a rate without breakfast. Because of the Covid measures, breakfast has to be ordered (EVEN for people that they had booked it, the day before). I hope now you can understand why the receptionist did not offer you to make make breakfast once you sat down for breakfast. Simply because he didn't have the possibility to offer it!!! Maybe the staff wasn't rude & unhelpful but they were in a difficult position and feeling stessed having a client that she was asking completely different things from her original reservation. The entrance of the building unfortunately it's not property of the Hotel (Hotel is situated on the first floor) and from the cleaning program in my possesion it results that your beds have been separated after the first night as you requested on complete contrast with your reservation. It is not our policy to give sheets to guests and to make them prepare their beds. I would strongly reccomend instead of making unhappy comments to check your reservation even now.

The hotel was on the 2nd floor of a building. With stairs right after the lift, so unsuitable for small children and people with heavy bags. The hotel is certainly NOT 4 star as advertised, the carpets and decor are from about 20 years ago, the room although clean is Tiny, and the hotel has a tramline right outside the building, which loudly passes every 10 minutes and literally shakes the whole building making sleep difficult! The location isn’t bad though as it’s a short walk to see the trevi fountain and the pantheon.

Dear Jim, thank you very much for your review. i am very pleased to read you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated the location and the staff's attitude. Regarding your remark about hte bed, I think you might be talking about the plastic hygienic cover used in order to protect the mattress. However, the sheets should usually not allow you to feel any kind of discomfort. I hope this detail may have not disturbed your sleep in any kind of way. I hope to have the chance to welcome you again in the future during your next visit to Rome. Kind regards. Jaudine Cipolla Director

The hotel was very old. You can clearly hear the neighbors conversations coming and going. There is a tram station directly above the hotel that runs all hours of the night and literally vibrates stuff off the shelves it’s so loud making it nearly impossible to sleep. I’m the states this would be the equivalent of a motel 6. 2 star at best.

Nice hotel, but only 5h sleep daily
Hotel was hard to find. It is located in an old but racy building, which has a special charm to it. Interior is vastly decorated and interesting. Staff is very helpful and professional. Room was a little dusty, although the cleaning is daily. !!! BUT make sure you get a room with atrium view, unless you want a very well scheduled 5 hours sleep. We got a room that overlooked the street and it was a disaster. Trams are passing by every 5 mins during the day, and when they do, the building is shaking and the noise makes you feel like standing near the rails. I.e., you only get to sleep after midnight and until around 5:30 (after the last and until the first tram passes by). We asked the staff to change the room, as it was obvious right away, but it didn't work out.

Great for the money
A bit of a scare when we first entered. There is NO SIGN ON THE ENTRANCE OF THE HOTEL!!! It is just on the 1st floor of the building. The address was hard to find on the building as well. It would have been helpful for them to alert us that there would be no sign on the building when the reservation was made. Even the bell you ring to get buzzed in just says “HOTEL”... nothing more. Once you get buzzed in, you walk down a dark and dank midevil looking hallway with barely any light and chipped-up walls. There is an elevator that functions but is probably from the 50’s. Once you get past all this... the hotel itself is adorable. Rooms aren’t huge, but it is a city. Bathroom was relatively spacious. Great lighting and the beds were decently comfortable. Front desk staff was lovely and the breakfast room and set-up is by far one of the best I have ever seen in all of my travels (such care and attention to detail!). The only big thing that was a bit annoying was that the building is right next to the above-ground trams that have rails in the ground, so whenever a train went by, it quite literally felt like an erarthquake. Luckily trains don’t run too late into the night so it’s not like it kept us up, but it was certainly alarming until you got used to it. Overall, a great, clean place to stay for a decent cost and close to the Jewish Ghetto (AMAZING food) and public transportation. Oh, and then WiFi worked amazingly which is always a treat in these hotels that say “Free WiFi”!

Dear Jeff, I would like to thank you very much for having shared your opinion and your pictures, after having stayed with us. I am very pleased to read that you absolutely captured the essence of our hotel even if you didn' t appreciate that much the first visual impression. In order to respect the outside facade of the historical building, the signage ought to unfortunatelly be limited. As far as the tram is concerned, I'm afraid it may be one of the less appreciated details of our central position.For your next stay you could maybe upgrade to a superior room which faces the beautiful square and is also bigger. I truly hope you will have the chance to visit us again in the future. Best regards. Jaudine Cipolla

A delightful experience
This is a small hotel for about 30 people with the aim of making you feel at home and it does that to perfection. The service is personal and impeccable and the interior furnishings and artworks a visual delight. Breakfast was refectory style, huge long table beautifully laid and a chance to be quiet or to meet some very interesting guests. Excellent fruit, a continental breakfast but requirements such as an omelette were met at an extra cost.

Hotel was in a great location that wasn't particularly far from all of the main tourist things people want to hit up in Rome (30 min walk to the Vatican, 5 min walk to the Pantheon, 15 min walk to the Colosseum, etc.). However room was located next to the streetcars so it was kind of loud, mattress was OK, rooms could do with some modernization / better lighting to make them more comfortable for guests.

More B&B than hotel
First, the good: The room was big, the AC worked great, the hotel is super clean, and the art is fantastic. We didn't spring for breakfast, but it smelled and looked great. However, there are a few annoying things that took my rating down a couple notches. First, I was traveling with my mother and we requested two beds. When we arrived, there was only one large bed. I told the guy at the front and he said, "We'll split it for you tomorrow." After a long flight I didn't want to deal with it and we stuck it out for a night, but then the next day when we got back to the hotel, it was still only one bed. Not good. Second, you have to use a buzzer to get in and out, and they want you to check the key to your room in at the front desk when you leave. No one told us that when we arrived, and there was a very unhappy front desk man on the last night of our stay who informed us that we need to check in our key. That's not really a great situation. We were only in Rome for two nights and we were staying out late to make the most of it. The "hotel" definitely feels more like a bed and breakfast, and to be honest I wouldn't have chosen it in our situation had I known that. However, if you're looking for that charming homey feel in a fantastic location with very nice rooms, this is a great choice.
