Positive Reviews
positive:
Super location for sightseeing on foot
The bulk of Rome's must-see monuments, landmarks and sights are conveniently no more than 20 minutes' walk from the hotel. These include the Pantheon, the Vatican, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. In a city that can be tricky to travel around, the location was a real bonus for guests who generally scored the accommodation highly on this front.
positive:
Peaceful oasis due to apartment vibe
Visitors generally liked the combination of a relaxed ambience and quiet location offered by this accommodation. Some said it felt like having your own handy Roman apartment because it's tucked away down a relatively tranquil street near the river while retaining proximity to the heart of the city center.
positive:
Friendly staff and comfortable stay for most
On the whole visitors reported hotel personnel to be helpful, friendly and professional. Most reviewers found a good standard of cleanliness and comfortable rooms.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some underwhelmed by free breakfast
The free continental breakfast left some guests unimpressed due to what they called a limited choice and average quality of food. If you want to try breakfast in a Roman cafe, there are many options to choose from within a short walk of the property.
negative:
Bathrooms small according to some guests
It can be a matter of personal taste or experience, but a few reviewers described the en suite bathrooms as being on the small side.
negative:
Form over function?
Occasional frustrations finding enough drawer and hanger space in the bedrooms prompted a few reviewers, especially those travelling with lots of luggage, to question whether form was put before function when the accommodation was designed.
