I liked the location, away from traffic. The hotel provides parking for fifteen euro each night. I reached tourist points by foot. I find this convenient.

My room was a bit small, not very comfortable for two people. The breakfast team were disorganized, so it was hard to get coffee. Food options were limited.

The hotel located in a quiet residential area on a hilltop. The area had similar polite and respectful guests. I found the walk to the Vatican a fifty minute walk. I liked seeing the city.

The staff was rude and snobbish to my family and me. the hotel advertises itself as a 4-star facility. It felt more like a 3-star. food and drink options were very limited and overpriced.

The location is serene, yet a short walk to major attractions. I loved the staff, they gave many helpful suggestions. There are two other properties, and the restaurant next door is fantastic. The hotel in itself is excellent, even more, in real life, so prepare to be stunned!

The breakfast could include some additional options. It could have a bit more variety.
