The staff was very friendly and they upgraded us to a bigger room with a balcony even though we had paid for a smaller suite.

While the male staff at the reception was extraordinary but the female staff was very mean and rude and had no interest in welcoming us.

Awesome hotel, close to the Colosseum and public transport.
Google, July 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
The location was a little far from main attractions though but shouldn’t bother you if you’re travelling without a child - which wasn’t my case.

Beds202Strength
The beds were comfortable.
Booking network, August 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
The room had great AC, comfortable beds, blackout shutters, and was close to the train station, which was ideal coming straight from the airport.
Booking network, September 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
There was also a gap in the middle of our bed in which we kept falling in between two mattresses I assume, even though it was supposed to be a kingsize bed.

Quiet at night4314Mostly good
around a mile from the Coliseum, great breakfast and quiet air con rooms.
Tripadvisor, September 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
The location was perfect—on a quiet street away from the busy centre of Rome, making it a peaceful place to relax after a day of sightseeing.
Booking network, June 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
The guests in the room next to ours were very loud, this was beyond the hotel's control but just a warning that the rooms are not completely sound proof.

Family atmosphere in a nice old Villa next to a 2000 year old Aqueduct

Nothing, some things look a little dated but to be honest thats the charm of the hotel.

The rooms are small, but the high ceilings more than make up for it.

Unexpected charges and refunds6 of 2991 in 50 reviews
I don't know who should have made me aware of the City tax that needed to be paid in cash and not charged to me credit card.
Booking network, April 2026, rated 7/10 by this guest
There are far better properties in Rome compared to this place for the price they charge, nothing in the hotel was 4 star; bathroom was old, poor noise insulation and they will charge you cash for tourist tax.

The pictures on the internet do not do justice to the interior space, nor courtyard/garden.

The rooms do not reflect the photos online, my room had orange sheets that were also stained and not white, the cleaning could be improved, also being a 4 star I expected perhaps a courtesy kit with shower gel and not just shampoo, and maybe slippers, and it is not true that there is a mini bar as…
