“Great location and room; paper thin walls”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2010

people found this review helpful

The room my husband and I stayed in looked exactly like the photos on the website. The room itself was very clean, and rather large. The bathroom, however, was narrow and the shower quite small....it was difficult to take a shower without constantly hitting my elbows into the shower walls. Another con was the paper thin walls. The rooms are connected by a locked door and there was a family staying in the room next to us. All we heard at night and early in the morning was the kid constantly talking or singing.

One huge bonus though, was the free wifi. We got so used to paying for EVERYTHING in europe, like bathrooms, water, etc, that having free wifi in the hotel was a huge relief.

All in all, I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this hotel to friends. The price, location, and service we got was unbeatable.

“Would come back anytime!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

We stayed for four nights at this hotel after an exhausting search for a nice hotel across Rome. Let me first say that the location, size and cleanliness of this place is fantastic. The
( despar) supermarket is literally at your doorstep. the free skye tv with loads of kiddies channels to chose from and the free wireless internet was a real advantage as it kept both the kids and my hubby entertained.
Most sites are walking distance( we even walked to the Colosseum), except the Vatican city.There is a tiny functioning lift. The air conditioning works well. The Fontana De Trevi is across the road, Pantheon, Piazza Novona, Piazza Venezia , Spanish steps are all easily walkable. The 110 hop on hop off stops right at the main road outside. A main bus stop termini is 4 mins. walk from the apartmnents. Metro, information office, shopping areas are all easy walks.

The only thing is that it is not really a hotel or a B&B, it is more like a serviced apartment with a single person at the reception from 9 am to 9pm.There is no service to speak of and you are totally on your own apart from the apartment and cleaning service which is provided on a daily basis.

The only negative is that there was no tea kettle, microwave or basic amenities like sugar, salt, dish washing soap, tea bags.We had a to do a super fast trip to the supermarket to get us going. We were given a kettle when we requested on day one but it leaked and the lights tripped. The kettle was only replaced on the third day in the evening. There were three different people manning the reception at various times, the girl Natasha and the young guy were helpful, but the older guy was not.

The young man at the reception ( didn't get his name) was very helpful and changed our soap dispenser, fixed our lights, gave us directions and extra blankets when we asked for them.

I would highly recommend this place just for the sheer location, price, size and cleanliness. It does not have the luxuries of a hotel, but has a clean room, toilet (large bathroom but no bath tub, only a shower but with hot water all day long) and working A/C to sleep well at night.

One must do while in Rome, the gelati at the fontana the Trevi ( the first one was marginally better than the second), and the streets from the Fontana to Pantheon worth a dekko!!

“Top location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2009

We are a young family and the location of this apartment was excellent. Just across the street is a supermarket, buses and taxis close by, main attraction 'trevi fountain' was a 5 minute walk, spanish steps 10 minutes, top class shops 10mins. Overall, we really, really enjoyed our first time trip to Rome and having stayed in this apartment made it even more better. Our two bed apt had a kitchenette, clean bathroom and comfortable bedding. The only downfall was the noise at night. The cars and i think it was the airconditioning was a bit noisy, but it still disturb us completely.
