Lago Agrio Cathedral

This is a good, basic hotel which is convenient for St Peter's and the Vatican. The city centre is also within easy reach via the metro. There is a buffet breakfast with a good selection available in the morning. Staff were very helpful, particularly the night manager who was very helpful when I had a minor accident - a fall in the room. See below. Likewise, the chambermaid was able to confirm that my hairdryer was not working and it wasn't my fault! (It was quickly repaired). The room was small but compact with enough space for me and my belongings. Wifi was patchy at best and the TV channels did not offer much entertainment, the exception being a Sean Connery film (in English, curiously) which I hadn't seen. The one problem: Aurum Hotels, please do NOT have a step between the bedroom and bathroom; a slope would be much safer.

Lots of restaurants, easy walking, felt very safe

I loved the hotel, it is a classic heritage style which I love and is small enough to mean that you get the personal touches that you don’t get in a larger property. Room was beautifully maintained. Restaurant and bar were also lovely with a nice selection in offer. Staff were all faultless and super friendly. Hotel is next to Piazza Del Popolo so well placed for central Rome sights. We travelled with a small child who was also well looked after.
