I appreciate the touches like complimentary minibar drinks and the 24-hour coffee station, and the location makes it easy to explore the area around Santa Maria Maggiore. While some rooms may catch street noise, the overall experience balances Roman charm with modern convenience.”

mixed feelings about my stay.

The room felt smaller than advertised. My suitcase barely fit! also, i didn't find the breakfast particularly appealing. i mean, there was food, but it lacked any real flavor. It was just fuel.

The location was superb. Termini station was very close. santa maria maggiore basilica sat just next door. I even attended mass there one day. the staff was very kind, and helpful, especially roberta and ludovica. being able to have coffee, tea, or water anytime was a bonus, too.
The bed was very small. i am not particularly tall. half my legs hung off it.
