I stayed at, in fact am writing from, Villa Laetitia and have to say we are extremely disappointed. The only person on staff we've met is Miguel, who is very very nice and helpful, but it's as if whoever owns this place woken up one day and said, "I think i'll run a hotel today."

The property is under construction, which we were told in an email upon booking, but it said it "might" affect the "entrance" but would not affect our rooms. Well, the entrance is indeed trashed, but the grounds are also affected (the garden is not set up and chairs are stacked in corners). The room is big enough for us (we were told we HAD to book the suite for 3), but the floor is covered in construction dust. My feet are black if I walk barefoot. Not affected? I also can smell the dust and we can feel it when we breath in. IT's everywhere, not just contained to the entrance, which is 30 meters away. I said something to Miguel, again he is so nice, but he became defensive and said, "We told you there was construction." Well, that's true so I guess we are wrong to complain.

The shower, as someone indicated below, is ridiculous. So small you can't bend over, or escape the water to shampoo your hair. No shelf in the sower means you have to step out to get shampoo and soap, and when you do, the water gets everywhere because the shower is literally, no exaggeration, 2 x 2 feet.

We were shown the breakfast room when we arrived and assuming we could go there in the morning (breakfast time), we showed up at 9 to a darkened room, only to be told we had to let them know we wanted breakfast. Would have been nice to know that upon arrival.

Internet service is slow slow slow. Took me 5 minutes to open this page. My husband can't even log onto the network and had to go ask if he would use their hard wire to download a contract he needs to sign. We are three people in our room, but only received 2 towels. All and all, it's not a place to enjoy a relaxing holiday. For the prince (290 euros a night) we could have found a place closer to the center, with staff who have run a hotel before.

The location is quiet and pretty, but not anywhere you can grab a taxi or metro

There are also no other guests in the hotel. I guess they were smarter than us upon booking. Lesson learned.

Pluses: bed is comfy. air conditioning works well. miguel tries super hard but has limited tools at his disposal.

We stayed in a "Senior Suite" - "Atelier Room" - which would be better in nice weather than in the winter. The room, with small kitchenette, was too small and had no comfortable seating. If you stay in this room during warm weather, you have a lovely private, outside terrace which is larger than the room. The kitchenette was well supplied and a definite plus for the room. The metal spiral stairs leading from the sleeping area to the outside terrace are just about 12" from the foot of the bed, causing many leg bruises. The towels and toiletries that were provided were nice, but the bathroom was barely big enough to turn around in. One of the desk clerks was quite helpful, but otherwise the service from front desk staff was spotty - gave incorrect directions to something which was just was just two blocks away, had no change to provide to guests for use in their coin operated coffee machine, etc. The housekeeping staff were outstanding - efficient, pleasant and consistent.
In general the location is great - mostly a residential fairly quiet residential area. One of the eleven nights while we were staying there they had a large party in the patio area and, as usual, the staff left at ll:00pm with no one at the front desk or anywhere else in the hotel to supervise the party which went on until 1:00am. From 11:00pm until 1:00pm the music was sooooo loud that it sounded as if it were being played at full volume in our "sleeping" room. When I complained to the desk clerk the following morning he acted offended, but no offer of any discount, complimentary breakfast or even an apology.
The wireless internet system worked sometimes and for short periods.

We had no difficulties finding the "hotel" as other have pointed out, but don't look for neon lights or anything flashy. The area is quiet but close to the center, and full of restaurants, bars and gelatterias. We stayed at the Star Room and loved it. It was just what we needed. The rooms are carefully furnished and decorated. The lighting is perfect and the garden is beautiful. Make no mistake though, this is not a hotel or a bed and breakfast. It is a room-kitchenette combo. A nice romantic designer room.

We were fortuate to have visited Rome twice this summer.We stayed at this hotel in September. We arrived at night and had a great deal of difficulty getting in through the unmarked gates. Staff was helpful.
The rooms are decorated and furnished with designer furniture and fashions which are fine to photograph but totally non functional. They are overcrowded. Both my wife and I had bruises from smashing into things. One bed (we changed rooms) had a headboard and a footboard which made it impossible for anyone over 6ft tall to sleep.
The tiny shower had a rain shower head which poured water all over the place because it was bigger than the shower.
There was absolutely noone else in the hotel.
In June we stayed at the absolutely perfect Villa Spaletti Trivelli. For more or less similar amounts of monet there is absolutely no comparison.
