Igor gave us a friendly welcome. He also advised us where to go. The location worked well. It was a short walk from the train station to the Colosseum. The rooftop setting for breakfast was lovely, the bed felt comfy.

friendly staff helpful staff fresh bathroom broken air conditioner lukewarm water hot water
I appreciate them letting me leave my bags when i got there early. my luggage was already in my room when i returned later. That was super thoughtful. gigi was very helpful explaining the map and good places to eat. the bathroom felt very fresh and clean after a long day of travel.
the air conditioner wasn't working. it was warm in the room even with the fans they gave me. there was no hot water when i tried to shower at night. the attendant showed me that it wasn't super cold, but i really wanted a hot shower after walking all day.

convenient location friendly staff good options
the location was really convenient, close to Termini station. I found it easy to walk to many major attractions. the street felt quite safe at night. The staff were helpful and friendly, which i appreciate. Breakfast had good options, made mornings easier.
the room had very cold floors, and i noticed the hotel didn't provide slippers. It would have been much more comfortable with them.
