I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were small and often overcrowded with people, but our bathroom was a good size. The service was a bit mixed, but some staff members were lovely and helpful. The location was great for exploring Rome by foot, with the Vatican and other attractions within walking distance. The dining experience was mediocre, and the facilities offered were okay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were far too small for the number of guests, with very limited choices, and the croissants were oddly flavored. On the bright side, our room was a good size but had mold in the bathroom. The service was a bit of a letdown as we experienced being locked out of our room due to a government tax issue, but overall the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, with key attractions like the Vatican within walking distance, but some historic sights required a bus ride. The dining experience was mediocre, with a very average spread and cornflakes. The facilities were adequate, without any standout features.

The hotel's rooms were small and the shower was tight, similar to other European hotels I've visited. The limited choice of breakfast included the strangest croissants I've ever tasted. The overcrowding made the stay less enjoyable, but the staff was helpful and the hotel was clean overall.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The location was great, just a few minutes' walk from the Vatican and surrounded by nice restaurants. The rooms were a bit small and limited in choice, though. The service provided was a mix of lovely and helpful staff with a disappointing incident of being locked out of the room over a tax issue. The dining options were mediocre, but the fresh ingredients were appreciated.
