Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is in a brilliant location, right in the center, in a very quiet street and close to the main tourist attractions. The rooms are on the smaller side but clean and cozy, though being close to the breakfast area and reception can get noisy. The service is welcoming and helpful, making the stay enjoyable. The dining offers a good variety of European and delicious food with only slight improvements needed in freshness. Overall, a charming and convenient stay in a calm area.
The hotel is in a prime location, steps from the splendid Piazza Espania, offering a quiet atmosphere but somewhat overpriced. The rooms, though quite small and lacking natural light, are comfortable, providing a cozy stay. The nearby attractions make for a convenient stay, with a few nuisances like an early morning shop alarm.
I had a mixed experience staying at this hotel. The location was superb, right next to Piazza di Spagna and within a 20-minute walk to most tourist attractions, making it easy to explore Rome. However, the rooms lacked natural light being on the first floor, were a bit small, and the dining experience, although adequate, had its shortcomings with surly service. Nevertheless, the staff was incredibly warm and helpful throughout my stay.
The hotel offers classic, yet somewhat outdated rooms that I found not so easy to clean at a high price. The service was extremely helpful and welcoming, changing my room to a quieter one with a cozy atmosphere near the splendid Piazza Espania. The location is fantastic, just minutes away from the beautiful Spanish Steps and surrounded by lovely restaurants. The dining experience was good but could have a richer variety of food. Overall, a mix of positive and negative aspects.
The hotel offers rooms that are exactly like the pictures, albeit not too big and located outside the main entrance to the right, giving a separate feel from the main hotel. The service is wonderfully helpful, with staff going out of their way to assist. The location is amazing, situated in a quiet street parallel to Via Del Babuino, perfect for exploring the city easily. The dining experience was good but could have more variety. Overall, a great place to stay with friendly service.
The hotel was a cozy spot with small but well-appointed and clean rooms. The cleaning staff started early at 8 am, but it wasn't a big issue for me. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to assist us. The location was superb, near the Spanish Steps and surrounded by charm. The dining experience was good, with friendly waitresses and a nice variety of options.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet, but quite small even for a 'small double room'. The service was exceptional with incredibly polite staff willing to accommodate requests. The location was prime, just a block from the Spanish Steps. However, the dining options were disappointing and left much to be desired.
My stay at the hotel was lovely overall. The rooms, although a bit small, were clean and comfortable. The service was excellent, with a very accommodating staff. The location was unbeatable for exploring Rome, and the dining experience was more than adequate. However, the rooms were on the small side, and the price could have been more competitive.
