Fantastic hotel on a great place! It is located a 10 minute walk from the historical center of Rome and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely book again if in Rome. Thanks to the wonderful staff. Note: many people say the prison next to the hotel is a problem, for me it was interesting to be next to it, as it is a historical place. Also no problems with the noise from the prison.
L’hôtel est parfaitement situé, c’est vrai à quelques minutes à pied des principaux endroits, à voir à Rome, les chambres spacieuses et bien aménagées. Cependant, afin d’ éviter le brouhaha de la maison d’arrêt voisines il vaut mieux demander une chambre côté jardin… Aucun double vitrage,..emplacement top mais nuits difficiles….
Great hotel in a fantastic part of Rome! We stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are clean and modern. We had everything we needed like good air conditioning and a nice shower. The room was cleaned daily. The staff were friendly and super helpful. We were not able to pay the tourist tax with card, which was one of few downsides. The location is good. The hotel is close to the heart of Trastevere, which is an area full of restaurants and great nightlife, while not being in the center of it, which is good for those of us who want to sleep at night. It was also easy to walk to the historical city center on the other side of the river. One downside was the lack of a close metro station. This was mainly an issue on arrival when we came from the airport, but we were able to spend most of our days walking between the hotel and the main sightseeing spots. We saw some reviews about the prison that I need to address. Yes, it is true that there is a prison opposite to the hotel that we could see from our window. However, it did not really bother us. We could hear some noise from the prisoners a couple of times, but this was no real issue. Antonio Gramsci is supposed to have been imprisioned here, so I guess there is some historical value to appreciate at least. All in all, great hotel, nice staff, good location and a decent price.
Bien situé par rapport au centre de Rome, du Vatican et de Trastevere. La chambre est spacieuse, confortable mais aménagement minimum. Le rapport qualité prix est un peu élevé, pas de petit déjeuner. Il y’a aussi beaucoup de rue mal pavé pour rejoindre les transports en commun, pas top avec les valises.
Hip, funky area known for traditional & trendy dining, a buzzing bar scene & festive piazzas.
