My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and spacious, providing essential air conditioning during the hot days. However, the outdated and stark furnishings were a bit of a downside. The service was friendly and accommodating, although the staff's knowledge of local dining options was lacking. The location was ideal for exploring the city's major attractions on foot, but the dining experience left something to be desired with cold food. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's facilities were adequate and functional.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic, from the amazing dinner on the first night to the great location overlooking the garden. The rooms were very clean and spacious, but there was an unexpected bill to settle due to a booking oversight. The service was excellent, especially with assistance for transfers, although there were some issues with the billing process. The location was superb, allowing easy access to all the sights Rome has to offer. The dining experience was delightful, and the facilities were top-notch.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had some gorgeous views, and they were surprisingly spacious and pleasantly air-conditioned, which was a lifesaver during the scorching heat we experienced. Although my room wasn't ready right away, the high ceilings and excellent bathrooms more than made up for it.
