We stayed here for four nights as part of a package with Riviera Travel. On the whole we were pleased with the hotel. The room was well appointed, the beds comfortable and there was a nice bathroom with a good shower. All was very clean. Internally the hotel was quiet and we could not hear sounds from adjacent rooms but... More

I was a guest in the hotel universe for a meeting a few months ago and I got good service from all staff, ready to solve any request with kindness and sympathy. Excellent service wi-fi and a real business center. Unappealing details with old elevators, small closets.

I arrived early, 10:30 AM, to check-in, exhausted from a 9-hr flight and the gentleman at the front desk worked very hard to find me an available room so that I could check-in right away (and sleep :).

Good hotel. Walking distance to many tourist attractions. Very helpful and friendly staff. Rooms are small (seems usual in Rome) but lots of organizational space. Very clean (hence the 4 star score). Buffet breakfast was good, but the dining room was very warm. Might have just been my Canadian blood. On a negative note, the AC didn't seem to work.... More
