This hotel is located close to the rail station and several attractions. The room and bathroom are very spacious, which is not typical for hotels in Europe. The rooftop restaurant offers good food, wine, and beautiful views. The breakfast in the morning was very impressive, with a wide variety of food and coffee. If you have time for the sauna, I would recommend it for relaxation after long walks in Rome - it’s free :-).

Great location for sightseeing and a few blocks to train station- this worked well for our day trip to Florence by fast train and walking distance to shopping, the national museum of Rome and short bus or uber ride to all tours and areas we wanted to visit. Quiet hotel great for sleeping. Next time I would request a room with a better view- we faced a wall. We were spoiled by the staff- everyone was very friendly and caring!

We are a family of five from the U.S. We stayed in the family room which is really two adjoined rooms. It was perfect for us. One room has a queen bed and a twin bed, the other room has a king bed and a twin bed. Our two older children slept in one room while me, my wife, and our youngest slept in the other. The lights were a little confusing but we got it down after one night. We stayed two days and would 100% recommend this to anyone traveling from the U.S. with a similar family size as ours.
