The bathroom was poorly designed due to the fact that when you took a shower, the whole bathroom would be flooded and the water would even go into the bedroom.

Unpleasant surroundings6 of 2791 in 46 reviews
One tip: taxis often drop guests at the main street near the hotel sign, requiring a walk through a dark, dirty narrow alley and steps.

Good hotel, friendly staff, I did not like the location, although it is between Trastevere and the Vatican has few rooms around and the narrow secluded street from which you access I find dangerous if you return in the evening.
