I had a pleasant stay with a few mixed experiences. The location couldn't be better, just a short walk from the Vatican and plenty of eateries nearby. The rooms were clean and matched the photos, but they did feel a bit small and slightly outdated. The service was friendly and felt like catching up with old friends, but I was let down by the lack of a proper breakfast. Overall, it was a decent value for money, though some improvements would make it even better.

I had a great stay at this hotel, which is close to all the major attractions in Rome. The rooms were always clean and smelled great, although they didn't quite meet my expectations after the first night. The service from the staff was friendly, but I found it a bit odd that they asked us to keep our voices down. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the Vatican and the metro. While breakfast was decent, it was quite repetitive. Overall, it's good value for money, with a couple of quirks.
