My stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were incredibly well appointed with beautiful furniture and high-tech features like Bluetooth room audio and Bang & Olufsen TVs. They were very spacious and well designed, but not quite soundproof. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive to my needs without being obtrusive. The location was perfect, especially if you are interested in historical architecture, and the hotel is right beside historical ruins. The dining experience in the morning was not worthwhile. Overall, a wonderful stay filled with luxury and comfort.

Staying at this hotel was like experiencing a chic blend of modern design elements in a unique setting. The rooms, though smaller, exuded luxury and character, with each one telling a story reflective of the building's history. Located on the top floor, the ambiance was truly special.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were well-equipped and spotless, but the arctic cold made it a nightmare to get comfortable. The kitchen was a bonus for cooking meals with fresh market ingredients nearby. The service had its ups and downs with quick responses via WhatsApp but lacking help late at night. The location was a standout, right beside historical ruins and close to all the main attractions. However, the dining experience fell short, especially in the morning. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely incredible. The rooms were amazing, the staff was exceptional, but there were a few areas that needed improvement like the lack of laundry service and instructions for the TV. On the bright side, the upgrade with a complimentary champagne was a lovely touch. The location was perfect too, being close to many major sights in Rome.

The hotel is situated on top of a small hill, right by historical ruins and only a short distance from iconic landmarks like the Colosseum and Fontana Di Trevi. The convenience of the location is a major plus.

The hotel has a wonderful location close to many major sights in Rome and boasts big, luxurious rooms that are clean and comfortable with an amazing design. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking delicious meals with fresh ingredients from the farmers' market next door, although it did not fully meet our expectations and somewhat spoiled our holiday.
