“Great value for money with thoughtful details. Perfect base for exploring, with monuments walkable and Termini and the center easy to reach. Staff were excellent, and the room basics like a fridge helped. Breakfast on the rooftop at Les Etoilles had fantastic Vatican views, though the orange juice was a letdown.”

8.3Verified guest

“Convenient for sightseeing on foot, with plenty of local restaurants. The staff at the neighboring hotel, where breakfast is served, were friendly and helpful. The 6th-floor restaurant view was spectacular. Would have liked tea and coffee in the room, and the air conditioning could have worked better.”
