In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central but quiet — Guests consistently describe the hotel as both right in the middle of things and genuinely quiet. It's about 450 metres from Piazza Navona and a five-minute walk from the Mausoleum of Hadrian.
  • Helpful, attentive staff — Reviewers thank the staff for everything from walking a guest to their destination to arranging airport transfers and recommending restaurants. A 24-hour reception and express check-in make arrivals easy.
  • Comfortable, individual rooms — Rooms are modern and nicely styled, with some offering spa baths, balconies or street views. The hotel is soundproofed, and guests single out the comfort of the beds and the cleanliness.
  • Good value for the location — From £84 per night, guests describe the price as low for the location and facilities, and one review notes that breakfast is included.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms can be compact — The lowest-rated category is rooms and cleanliness, and one recent guest remarks that the modern room was on the smaller side. The trade-off for the price and location is space.
  • No pets — Pets are not allowed at the hotel, so travellers with animals will need to find alternative accommodation.
  • No onsite parking listed — The hotel doesn't list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car should contact the hotel ahead of time to sort out options.

“Fantastic stay. Wi-Fi was free, reception was open all day and night, and the staff were always willing to help - on my first visit they guided me to where I needed to go. The rooftop bar is well worth a visit. I'm coming back for Easter.”
