adequate but with issues.

small room unstaffed front desk

The location was near the basilica santa maria maggiore. That was convenient.

The room i had was really small and quite spartan. It felt basic. the front desk was often unstaffed, so getting immediate assistance wasn't always possible. we had a number to call, but it was not always ideal

Really good Central Accommodation

convenient location attentive staff breakfast selection

The location is ideal as Termini station is very convenient. Metro and buses are close to the hotel. The hotel provided clear instructions regarding location and access codes. I appreciated that the staff was pleasant and attentive. Breakfast was delivered to my room, with a good selection of choices.

My room was rather small. The photos did not give an accurate representation of the hotel.

Public areas maintained a super clean condition with information readily available. Sweet jars and biscuits were restocked each day. Air conditioning worked well throughout the premises, welcome.

Rooms

The room was super clean and nicely furnished. It featured a queen sized bed, a safe, and a fridge. The bathroom had a walk in shower larger than I expected. There was plenty of hot water.
