Brilliant hotel in a great location
We were a group of 4- 2 couples who stayed here 30th Aug-3rd Sep. First time in Rome and will not be our last! :)
This hotel is a great location-near Trevi fountain, Villa Borghese and other tourist spots like many reviews will tell you. We walked everywhere. Usually 12-15 miles a day but you could get transport to colosseum etc if you needed to.
Staff are VERY friendly and helpful-just the loveliest people with a sense of humour!
They kindly printed out our Vatican tickets which we had forgotten to do. They will keep your bags for you if you arrive early and they also kept them once we checked out as our flight was not till late afternoon. They organised a driver to take us back to the airport as well, at the same price as a taxi, and he was so nice! He pointed out so many things about Rome it was a pity we didn't have him when we arrived!
Bar staff were helpful in making an equivalent to a shandy for me (lager and lemonade), nothing was too much trouble and when eating on their cosy, semi private balcony area one night we were given a variety of complimentary nibbles too. A lovely touch and they were delicious.
Rooms were modern and well equipped, bathrooms looked great with the marble! All the toiletries were great and the bed was comfy too.
Safe is provided for your valuables and we would stick our water in the fridge for the morning as well.
No noise despite being a busy street-the windows block this out effectively.
Temperature in the room was perfect for us as well.
The only frustrating thing was no tea/coffee facilities in the room. I like a coffee when getting ready and a cup of tea before bed. We did ask and were told we could have a kettle if we wished. It seemed a bit of a hassle to go get milk, tea, etc so we didn't bother with this but the offer was kind. We did have a cappuccino one morning in the foyer but tended to just get one when walking around.
We didn't use the spa only because we had no time to do so! We didn't have breakfast either only because we are used to grabbing something small late morning when out and about.
We would use this hotel again if tea/coffee was provided but would highly recommend anyone stay here as for many this would not be an issue.
Thank you for a wonderful stay xx
