7.4Verified guest“Our rooms with shared bathrooms were great. At $57 the price was very reasonable. The staff went out of their way to help, and the location just a short walk from Scala Sancta was both peaceful and convenient.”
7.4Verified guest“The hotel's position was fantastic and right in the centre. It was also close to Termini in 20 minutes as well as Roma Termini railway station.”
7.4Verified guest“The room was spotlessly clean and had a lovely romantic feel, with a spotless bathroom. The staff and the owner were all excellent. The location was good, within walking distance of the Domus Aurea ruin.”
7.4Verified guest“Conveniently placed near bus and metro stops, and within a 20-minute walk to the Colosseum. Offers independence and a simple space for a few days. Affordable with a private room and bathroom, and you can walk to many attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was quiet at night because of where the window faced. Highly recommended.”
