Why people love it

  • Location. Guests say it is an easy walk from Termini and the Colosseum.
  • Breakfast. Guests praise the breakfast and mention the chef's eggs.
  • Roof terrace. Reviewers call the rooftop bar a nice place for a drink before or after dinner.
  • Air conditioning. Several July and August guests said it worked well in the heat.

The worst thing guests say

Staff attitude and room quality. Between 2023 and 2024 six guests described rude or brusque staff, and in 2024 one reported an item stolen. In August 2026 one guest gave 1 star after a dated lower-level room that did not match what they requested. In 2022 and 2021 guests reported rooms on the lower floor near the gym and train noise on the first floor.

Insider tips

  • Ask for an upper floor, since rooms on the lower level are small and noisy.
  • There are about 8 steps at the entrance and a porter until 11 PM.
  • The rooftop terrace is pricey for non-guests.
Who it's for: couples who want to walk to the Colosseum from a small hotel.
Skip it if you want a quiet, low-floor room or attentive staff in every case.
