The hotel portion of this property may be amazing, but the apartment we stayed in was atrocious. There was mold in the bathroom and the floors were sticky!

The condition of the apartment, overall, was in disrepair. There are marks and scratches everywhere. It need a refresh desperately. The apartment smelled very musty like it had not been used in months! It was gross!

The Wi-Fi didn't work, so this probably will cost my family of 4 additional $$$. The air-conditioner did not work, so if you are going in warmer months, BEWARE.

I would not recommend this property. Most of the pictures they display are NOT from the apartment. I wish I would have taken pictures of how bad it was, but tried not to dwell on the negative.

Our first impression upon entering the hotel was unfortunately very unpleasant, as there was a strong smell of urine in the lobby. We were then escorted up to our room, and immediately noticed that the stairs between the first and second floors were uneven in height, which made carrying luggage quite difficult and uncomfortable.
The room itself also had a noticeable urine smell. We left the window open while we were out exploring, which helped make it somewhat more tolerable, but it was still not ideal.
Noise was another major issue. Even as late as 1AM, it was very loud. The first night, we were unable to sleep due to people outside. Once that settled down, we were woken up by staff cleaning and putting away patio furniture, followed by early morning garbage truck noise.
The only positive aspect is the location — it’s conveniently close to the main train station, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and the Colosseum. The Vatican is about a 45–60 minute walk away.
Overall, due to the cleanliness and noise issues, we would not recommend this hotel and would not choose to stay here again.

There’s an outdoor bar right in front of the hotel with young locals and it can be quite noisy at night, even with the windows closed. However, I thought I would have problems with the noise but I didn’t really have issues falling asleep because we were walking 25k steps a day and I was spent by the end of the day. The complimentary breakfast was decent - there’s eggs, salad, cured meats, pastries, fruits, bread, juices and good coffee. We thought they have a rooftoop bar but maybe they only open in the summer. We stayed there in the last week of November and weather was quite chilly and rainy. We got the Panoramic Suite and it has a glass-encased bathtub/shower area right in the bedroom, so no privacy at all when you take a shower. The suite was clean and decent-sized for two people, bed and pillows were comfortable, airconditioning was fine, staff were friendly. Their chef Roman was very friendly and accommodating. Close to everything, 10 mins away from the Colosseum. We were walking early in the morning and late at night and I felt safe around the area.

The stay was great. My wife and I did not have any issues. We stayed for ten days. My favorite part of my stay was Roman the chef in the morning. The room was always clean when we came back from our journeys. The front desk staff were helpful in recommending where to eat and getting us a taxi. For me it was the perfect location. I would definitely stay at this place again. One issue I had is the tv was in a different language and the front desk could not help in switching it. So I had to figure it out myself. Not a huge deal but it took time to set.

I am extremely upset and disappointed with my stay at this hotel/apartment. From the moment we checked in, the experience was completely unacceptable. We were never informed that the apartment was several blocks away from the check-in location. I was traveling with elderly parents, and instead of offering any assistance, the staff was unhelpful and dismissive, leaving us to walk with our luggage.
When we finally arrived, the apartment was filthy. At 3 PM, a cleaner was still inside swapping out sheets and trying to clean the bathroom, which was in a disgusting state—like something out of a college dorm. This was not the standard of cleanliness or professionalism anyone should expect, especially after check-in time.
There were no basic amenities—no coffee maker, no essentials—and the Wi-Fi they advertised simply didn’t work. I raised a complaint about the dirty sheets (which I have photo evidence of), and no one ever came back to fix the issue.
This entire experience was embarrassing and uncomfortable, especially when sharing it with others we were traveling with in Rome. I would never recommend this place to anyone. It was a complete mess from start to finish.

I was very disappointed. I thought it listed breakfast included but wasn't. I was told 15 euro each in a message. Then when I went there the woman at the desk told me 25. I said I was told 15. Didn't matter since we looked at what they offered and was not impressed so did not have. We also specifically chose a room for 3. 1 queen and 1 twin. They put us in an apartment 5 min walk away and we had to walk to get more towels plus charged me 210 euros more for 2 extra people. Looked totally different than what I chose on the site. The website says restaurant, cafe/deli. They have none of that. The whole reason we chose this was for the free breakfast, cost, and the look of the room. All we did not receive. On a positive note is was in a great location.

Not what it seems

The property it not what it looks like it the photos. The \"reception\" or \"check-in\" area and the actual room where we stayed were nowhere near each other. Upon check-in, we learned that our room was a few blocks down from the address we were given. I think I would've been a little less disappointed if I knew this in advance. We also had a long travel day, 4 suitcases, and it was raining - so all this added to the frustration. Also, this NOT a \"HOTEL\" as the title says. It is an APARTMENT. When we checked in, the rep kept saying, \"your apartment, your apartment\" so I was a bit confused. The unit itself was decent. Not the cleanest, but it was ok. There were mosquitoes biting us all night though. The location isn't great either. Overall, very dissatisfied. The gentleman who helped us was very kind, but the property itself and the description is not as described.

We were actually put into an apartment about 5 minutes walk from the Hotel. The location was excellent and it was a very nice apartment. However the shower was very dirty, with visable mould. Although we did not use the stove top it was also not very clean. The hotel had a 4 star rating. For the reasons stated the apartment was definitely not 4 Star but we still enjoyed our visit.

I can only say about the apartment. The apartment was interrible shape. We found dirt and mold everywhere, even in the toilet paper. The staff, while friendly, wasn't able to help us in any way with the apartment. They sent someone to \"clean\" the apartment after we asked for a relocation, and made it worse, they left stains on the washroom and a moldy toiler paper. This really isn't what you would expect from a 4 star hotel and with the price we payed. The only redeeming thing is the location. Not even the AC had mold and dirt and hard to adjust, no remote or anything to regulate the temperature in degrees, polar vortex or almost off, choose one or the other. Would not recommend, even after engaging Expidia about our terrible experience, hotel management isn't acknowledging (they are gohsting us!) our complaints made after our first night and onwards.

hotel situated next to bar/restaurant which had outside seating where people sat/ate and were basically very noisy until after 1am.
Lights tripped in room every time cleaners had been in????
had to go to reception to get assistance .
Main grievance was on safety grounds. Design of bath with built in shower, situated seperated from bathroom and incorporated in living area, not ideal. Coming out of bath/shower, you are then on a raised area and have to negotiate 2 steps to reach the floor level. Water from having shower runs down back wall and travels around bath and starts to gather/run down steps onto floor. Even with bath mat I still managed to slip on first step, fall back , hit my back off the edge of first step, kick and have fall on me, a heated towel rail that was leaning against wall ( obviously come away from wall previously and not reattached ), Wasn't able to grab anything to stop fall as no handrail for steps. Leaving me with a split, bleeding toe nail which required first aid. hobbled down to reception to inquire about first aid and report incident. Was given a bandage? and iodine bottle and dealt with it myself!!!
Although showing initial concern, nothing else was done about this and never once, for rest of stay, was asked about my health.
So to all future visitors, BE VERY CAREFUL WHIST HAVING BATH/SHOWER.

Ok overall

There was one front desk person who was so unfriendly that she’s bringing down the review for all. When I complained about the fact that the clear glass shower stall is literally the middle of the room rather than in the bathroom she was quite rude and kept insisting that it was the room I booked so I should not complain. I explained that I selected that room because it had a king size bed— nowhere on the description is there any mention of the ridiculous shower situation. Other issues that made us uncomfortable were the hard pillows, the very low counter in the bathroom and no hooks for towels. Also , there is a small square with a bar directly across the alley so we had a hard time sleeping most nights with all the noise outside the window.

On the plus side, it was a 20-30 minute walk to anywhere we needed to go Rome and the breakfast is excellent.

There is a cocktail bar on the rooftop. The streets below can get busy at night (not just here but throughout Rome In my experience) so request a high floor if you are a light sleeper.

The hotel is very central with 5 a minute walk to the metro station which we used to get to the Vatican; the colosseum is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Great location in a safe area.
