This was an exceptional experience for us. The stylish aparthotel has spacious, tastefully decorated and spotless rooms (we had a deluxe suite), equipped with all facilities, very good beds (we appreciate firm mattresses) and an excellent breakfastservice. By having breakfast in the room, you can more easily share the bathroom with a family of 4 people while having breakfast in peace and quiet and in a private atmosphere. All this in a historic building within walking distance of the Trevi Fountain, the Quirinale and Barberini metro station. Very pleasant and friendly staff. Contemporary Rome at its best!

    The balcony in the room, everywhere was super clean. The home-like vibe. Super responsive people. One evening the elevator got stuck and as i were with a person who couldn’t go up 3 floors i texted them and they quickly came to fix it, which was super nice :) The location was top as well. Not in the crowded places, close to one of the main stations which made it easy to get there from the airport, the metro station is near by as well. It was not noisy, you have birds around Very good value for money.

    For me it was very well located close to my family in Rome, to the east of the city. Easy to get into the centre of Rome by Metro, tram or bus. It’s a good size, very clean, safe and quiet. Lots of small bars, cafes, food and supermarket places. There’s a lot of kitchen units, but not a lot in them, which was fine for me, but anyone self-catering may want a few more things. Big fridge. Nice bathroom. Air conditioning units when needed, but the temperature was mild when I was there. The polite owner was on hand if I needed anything.
