We loved our stay. Very comfortable bed, especially nice after a long day walking and touring. Sheets and blankets are soft along with pillows. White towels in the bathroom are nice and thick. Bathroom is spotless and have little soaps and lotions if you forget yours. It is a bit difficult to find once you get off the Metro at Cipro, but maybe my husband and I just have trouble following directions. :) It is about a 5 minute walk from the Cipro Metro. The Vatican is 10-15 minutes away and there are restaurants and shops all along the way. The cafe where you have your breakfast is just down the street, on the way to the Vatican, which is nice. There is a nice assortment of pastries, coffee, tea and juice. We sat outside every morning sipping tea and it was great. They have a hair dryer, coffee maker, hot tea supplies and small refrigerator which is nice to store bottled water for the next day. The only thing I wish we had was at least one English speaking TV station. We weren't in the room during the day, but it would've been nice to listen to CNN or some other English speaking news program while we got ready in the morning or while we got ready for bed in the evening. But hey, you're in Italy, so I didn't expect that anyway. My husband and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary with a trip to Rome and they had champagne, chocolates and gifts on a silver tray when we arrived. Such a nice touch and sweet thing to do for us. If we come back to Rome, we'd love to stay here again. You are in a very secure building and we felt very safe our entire trip. Thanks for everything!!!!
