My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although clean and cozy with a lovely balcony, lacked air conditioning, making it uncomfortably chilly at times. The price without breakfast was on the higher side. The service provided a homely environment but was not very efficient, especially during breakfast. The location was great for exploring Rome quickly, although the dining options were disappointing. The facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was clean and pleasant, with a comfortable bed and Juliet balcony, but the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortably cold. The price paid was 145 euros without breakfast, which felt a bit overpriced. The service was helpful overall, especially with arranging transportation, but some staff members could have been friendlier. The location near Termini station was convenient for traveling around Rome, although the hotel's dining area lacked variety and quality for a supposed 4-star establishment. The rooftop dining experience was enjoyable and worth the extra cost. The facilities could use a little care to reach their full potential.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although spacious and accommodating for families, lacked air conditioning and were quite chilly, especially for the price paid without breakfast included.

The hotel has been quite a mixed experience for me. The rooms had an awful view and smelled like a cellar, but they were surprisingly clean. However, they were quite dark. The city tax should be included in the price. The service was very helpful overall, but there were some lapses like the complimentary beverages not being replenished. The location was perfect in terms of accessibility from Roma Termini, although the variety of food at the hotel was lacking. The dining experience needs more attention despite some good dishes.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the positive side, the location was fantastic for exploring the city either on foot or using public transportation. However, the room I was allocated was a disaster-it had no air conditioning and felt colder than a fridge. The overcharging for limited facilities, along with a surprise smoking fine upon check-out, left a sour taste in my mouth.
