The staff were nice. I was allowed to do an early check in. The room a bit small compared to the other two hotels I stayed at in Italy but the balcony made up for it. There was a weird sewer smell I noticed. Overall good stay.

Close to the train station but not too close. The hotel is also close to most sites, making it easy to walk nearly everywhere (we took the train to Vatican City). Staff were friendly we even got to check in early. Staff were very helpful with all our questions. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Staff were very good and very kind, special shout to Lou who is a receptionist and Philipe in the kitchen! They both went above and beyond for me! Breakfast was good but I noticed the bread was kinda stale.. or not sure if that’s just how the bread tastes in general. Rooms are not sound proof fyi.. I could hear almost everything in the other rooms next to me and in the hallway outside. Walkable to almost all the tourist sites if you like to walk, deffo need the right shoes as there are hilly areas and cobble stones aren’t easy to walk on. Room itself was great and balcony views lovely too! Overall I would 100% recommend the major and visit again
