  A little work needed

  19 Apr 2026

  A few small tweaks would easily give this a 4 star review. On the plus side the location is excellent - very central and buzzy. We specifically booked a room in the main building rather than the annex and although the room overlooked the street (a city view), which was extremely busy, we found it quiet enough with the windows closed. The aircon was efficient although noisy (my husband had to sleep with ear plugs) but it didn't bother me. Our room was extremely clean, the bed was large and comfortable with lovely cotton sheets, and good quality towels in the bathroom. Our main gripe was the general maintenance of the room - the cover for the aircon control was missing, making it look obviously uncared for. The bathroom needed attention - chipped and discoloured toilet seat and lots of black mould around the bath (it just needed resealing). The shower wasn't really functional - in order to stand under the shower it had to be directed over the side of the bath, not ideal! The bath should really be removed and replaced with a walk in shower, as there's plenty of space. We had a nice little balcony but the window boxes weren't planted and had been used as an ashtray - probably better to just remove the window boxes completely! All in all however, we enjoyed our stay and with a few small upgrades, this could be a great hotel.

  Great location with a poor experience with one receptionist who couldn’t programme the key card

  29 Nov 2025

  The location is bang in the middle of via del corso which is fantastic. Pity about one of the receptionists who had us going and coming back with a card key which was not working. We must have gone back and forth about 5 times or more - please note that our room was circa 200m+ away from the main hotel reception as it was in another building- hence the hassle! And he had the audacity to charge me €5 for losing my card which is fine if you give me a replacement which works not having to go back and forth 5 times minimum with a non-working key card! The rest of the staff was very helpful

  Disgusting! Don’t believe their photos!

  12 Aug 2025

  I’ll start on a good point- Great location.We arrived literally this morning got our small double room- in the photos it shows a double bed with 2 pillows fitting side by side, this is not the case it is a tiny tiny bed it could only fit 1 pillows and 1 person. I am only 5 foot 10 and my fiancé is 5 foot and we are both thin and we couldn’t fit side by side on this bed. To mention as well this room was dirty, dust and dirt everywhere air con blowing out hot air as it was full of dust. We let them know we can’t sleep on that bed and they generously moved us to another room with a bigger bed, that’s about all it had. It was disgusting filth up the walls something I can only describe as a bogey also on the wall, a broken manikin in the corner trampled on chewing gum on the floor, broken shower door wobbly fridge sitting on top of an even wobblier table, bed was filthy too and stained. Plus when we shut one door something else in the room would bang happened with every door was like the roof was going to cave in, provided us with a bit of entertainment for a minute or two at least playing guess where the bang will come from. Don’t get me started on the lift it either works or it don’t one of them ones you might wind up trapped in, felt like the SAW movie or some claustrophobic escape room. We checked in at 12 this afternoon and checked out after exploring Rome and moved to a much better hotel priced the exact same! An actual chain with incredible facilities and clean rooms pricing the same as this dump. I promise I have stayed in some awful places in my time and stuck with it by telling myself it’s just a roof over my head whilst I explore the cities but this one I simply couldn’t! It was that bad, to top it off we were celebrating our engagement so was a real sour note. DO NOT TRUST THEIR PICTURES THEY ARE NOT THE ROOM YOU WILL BE GIVEN!!!

  Bad experience

  07 Mar 2025

  Went for a family trip to Rome. The location was great but the hotel was a let down. I questioned the staff about the room as it was not the one we had booked. They said we had an upgrade. If you consider 2 basic rooms with a door in-between as upgrade then what can I say. The staff was not helpful and the room needed to given a good clean. This should a zero rating but it was a good location and we did actually have a good night sleep. If I had a choice I would have booked a different hotel. Be warned ⚠️
