Nice stay. Pool is great with the view of the colosseum. We parked our car but scratched the car, parking is really tight. When you have a small car it is ok. Bus we have a skoda superb. We weren't the only once with scratches. Unfortunately we saw other guests having the same issues as us. But really nice hotel with friendly staff. Rooftop terrace dining is also really nice to relax after a bust day in rome. Recommend!

The Hotel is located absolutely perfectly! Bothe Metro-Lines are about 10min away and the view on the Colloseum is great. The Quarter Monti is in walking-distance and the neighbouhood is quiet and has nice coffee-bars.
The staff in the Hotel was very, very friendly and helpful (test-appointment, recommendations…) and the pool was a blast! Due to Covid there was a regulation forbusing the pool not longer than two hours- since there was space, we could stay longer once. This was all good organized.
For a short trip to Rome, this hotel is definitely worth a choice!
This was our second stay at this hotel and once again it was a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is well situated with a beautiful view of the Colosseo and the rooftop swimming pool. The rooms are big enough even for a longer stay and very clean. But the greatest advantage of this hotel is the very friendly staff at the highest level.
Perfect for an overnight stay for a couple. We arrived in Rome after lunch and due to being unsure how difficult airport procedures would be (we were on a COVID-tested flight) we booked a night here before heading to Florence. The location is superb, just minutes from the Colosseum (which the hotel has a great view of both from the roof and from our room). We enjoyed a swim upon arrival (didn’t have any problems using it… it’s just quite cold, although it’s July so it’s refreshing for sure!) and the evening walking around the area. Breakfast was assisted buffet… we arrived before most so didn’t have any issues here either. It’s a simple breakfast, but this is Italy (every hotel is similar tbh) so if you want a great breakfast leave the hotel for it… otherwise it’s adequate before heading out to explore. We had a train late in the day and they had a place to leave our luggage. All in all a decent stopover hotel for us with great location, great view, and comfortable bed and good shower :)
Before I go into detail this hotel merits 3 stars if only because if the personnel. They did everything in their power to make it a great stay for our wedding anniversary despite frankly bad conditions due to covid and a hotel that is aging badly in terms of installations.
We spent 4 nights here at the end of our summer vacation to celebrate our anniversary. The whole reason we chose it was it's pool in fact and it's location.
In terms of the highlights it does have very nice staff who did their best to help from changing our first room to helping us find good restaurants. The pool is nice BUT that's if you get a chance to use it. Its first come first serve for 2h slots but no real explanation or organised system. Our first day we showed up at 17h and the lifeguard blew us off as there was too long a wait list (we were told at reception we couldn't sign up...). We figured out the system by day two and did the wait in the bar list as well as showing up first thing it opened. I am not sure we would have reserved this hotel if we had known about the mess (we get the limits due to covid but there has got to be a better system).
The rooftop is nice for a drink or a light lunch. The "buffet" breakfast is limited and served because of covid. The quality is very mediocre (and that isn't covids fault I am guessing).
The biggest problems were in the room. Feist room (a privilege superior room in theory) was large and yet...smelly as can be as if it hadn't been cleaned in forever with a huge leak in the toilets. They changed our room for a regular room since they did not have any superior rooms left (so basically we paid more for less) but we literally could not have slept in that odor or with huge toilet leaks. It also had little to no light'
Our second room was smaller but had better light and didn't smell. But the rooms are not four stars very small twin beds pushed together do not make for a bed for 2 people (especially since my husband is tall as can be):the pillows were seriously worse than in an cheap place. The air-conditioning was sooo noisy I didn't sleep our entire time. But when you turned it down the outside nosie was too much and it was too hot.
Basically we fled the room as much as possible and didn't sleep well. Truly not a 4 star place in terms of the rooms and installations.
A shame given that there are other choices in Rome (I come regularly for work) and we won't be back.
Dear Traveler,
Thank you for writing a review and sharing your experience in our Hotel.
I am so grateful for the kind words of appreciation toward our staff, they will be glad to read your review since, as you mention, they are really working hard and give everything they have to assists our Guest and try to compensate the inevitable restrictions we had to put in place.
I am deeply sorry for the pool situation but I can assure you that there is no alternative organization that could allow everyone to use it. To respect the social distancing regulations we reduced the places available, consequently to give more chances we implemented the time slots of max 2h (to fasten turn over).
However this is still not enough, but unfortunatel will never be as there are simly not anought time slots for everybody.
A reservation system would only advantage people staying 3+ nights (As they would book for every next day) cutting out the one staying 3 or less, because at their arrival they would not find availability already.
Trusth me, this is our biggest concern this days and a daily focus, unless the government regulations don’t mitigate there is no chance to make everyone happy.
Regarding the room I can assure you that I will immediately investigate about the smell but can assure you that cleaning procedure are followed with great care.
I really apologize that your experiencewas flawed with this many issues, however I hope you will give us a chance to better serve you in the future, when I wish we will be free from such strict limitations.
Kind Regards

The hotel is located within walking distance of the Colosseum. From the roof, you have a beautiful view of it. On the same roof is a swimming pool, but unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to use it: because of corona, the places are limited and it was always full.
The rooms are tiny, which is to be expected for a city hotel. The reception was perfect!
Breakfast had to be ordered from a sort of counter, again for corona reasons. Not a very pleasant experience. The queues were sometimes long because of this. For a 4 star hotel, we expected more choice for breakfast, which was disappointing.
All in all an average stay. If you want a decent hotel within walking distance of the Colosseum but away from the hustle and bustle of Rome, you're in the right place.
Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your stay in our Hotel.
We are Glad you appreciated the location and the view. We are also very grateful for the positive feed back toward our staff, they will really appreciate it as they are really working hard these days.
As you mentioned, due to local regulation, the places in our breakfast room have been reduced for social distancing. and the service has turned in an assisted buffet formula. We arranged a second breakfast room in the hotel but despite that it still gets busy at times. I apologize you had to wait in the morning but this is really the best we can manage to do at the moment.
The same can be said for the pool, but unfortunately, in this case, there was no chance to find alternatives.
I thank you again for your comments and look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
Kind Regards
