This hotel lacks a reception area. Basically, you climb the five or so steps from street level, through the door and the lift is facing you. There is a small cubbyhole to the right and all registrations etc. are carried out here. It is a great shame as everything else about the hotel is above average.

There is a roof top terrace for breakfast which is refreshing. The rooms are basic, sparse but very clean. Beds are very comfortable and after all, there is so much to see in Rome that you only return to the hotel to sleep. The staff are so friendly and are a mine of information on things to do and places to go and how to get there. I have to say this hotel is spotless and we will stay there on our next visit to Rome.

If you are looking for value for money in a clean, friendly environment, this is the hotel for you.
