Ruby Giulia Hotel Rome
I would 100% recommend this hotel the staff were very friendly and very helpful, it was clean and the bar was great. The location was perfect and had some nice restaurants and bars close without being right in the very busy centre. But was within walking distance to the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. ...
