Stayed here in September . What a location and the views were unbeatable. Well located to explore all the sites of rome. Staff were excellent and the rooms were top class and well serviced. Have to say also that the service and friendly atmosphere in the rooftop bar at night was brilliant.Well worth a visit . I know I will return

Service at the front desk and at breakfast was impeccable -- friendly, polite, helpful. Room was comfortable in an old-fashioned brocade-curtains, oriental rugs style. The breakfast (included) featured fresh-squeezed orange juice, eggs, mozarella, fresh fruit. As a solo woman traveller I felt both safe and well-treated during my 6-day stay.

My only criticism is the cheesy 1970's lounge type music playing in the bar and restaurant.

I picked this hotel because it recieved great reviews. To my shock, the experience was so bad that I actually changed hotels. I'm all about "when in rome" and have stayed in many different hotels around the world, ie: I know European rooms are small. That said, I don't feel that clients should have to put up with a dirty room (urine on the toilet seat ) and a bathroom that reeked of sewage. I didn't mind that the room was small, it was the fact it was dirty and the decor wasn't vintage, it was just cheap, old and unclean. I never rate hotels online, but felt the need to warn people about the actual room vs. the reviews online. Further the restaurant is very overpriced, an appetizer is nearly 35 USD. I do agree with most folks when they say the location of this hotel is primo, it is, see enclosed view from room window. When I checked in, I was excited about the location and the lobby was charming and clean in appearance; but I was "floored" when I entered my room - I still can't believe I paid $350/night for something compariable to a truckstop hotel room --- but smaller. It is very clear that the management of this hotel needs to sink some of their profits into room improvements and lowering their prices.

This charming hotel is everything that was described by other travelers. No need for public transportation or taxis - we could walk to all the major attractions. The room was spacious with a window that opened right on to the Forum of Augustus. We could take photos of almost the entire Forum area right from our room. Adored the roof top restaurant and American bar so much we ate there 3 of the 4 evenings. Hotel and Restaurant staff were superb. We noticed that many of the people eating at the restaurant were Italian business people so we presume this was not just another tourist spot. After eating near the hustle-bustle of Piazza Espagna we were happy to return to the relative quiet of the Forum. We would return here in a heart beat - even if the bathroom light bulb was burned out the entire time we were there. It's pure Italy.
