The hotel offers beautiful rooms in a new annexe, along with a nice breakfast in the morning. However, the actual appearance may differ from the photos shown. The service was extremely courteous and professional, especially in the reception and rooftop restaurant, but some experiences were unnecessarily nasty. The location is ideal for exploring Rome, being close to Termini station and other attractions. The dining experience was excellent, particularly in the arancian rooftop garden. On the downside, the hotel seemed to be in a residential area, diverting from traditional tourist spots.

The hotel offers stunning views of the statue and The Basilica from the heavenly rooms, including a cozy sofa cum bed for kids. However, the rooms are small and require mobility due to multiple stairs. The service was friendly and helpful throughout, ensuring a smooth check-out experience. The location is ideal, within walking distance of Rome's popular spots and restaurants. The dining experience, served on a lovely rooftop terrace, offers a good variety but is limited in warm dishes. Overall, a comfortable stay with a great location.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience.

I was thrilled with the stunning view of the cathedral from my room, but it did get a bit stuffy and hot at times. The hotel offered excellent service, though more detailed information on tourist destinations would have been helpful. The location was unbeatable, with easy access to major attractions and amenities nearby. The dining experience was typical Continental fare, with a lovely terrace view, but some variety would have been appreciated.
