I was nervous about this hotel because there weren't any reviews on TripAdvisor. I read some reviews on another site, and it seemed to be
OK.
The location was incredible. It's literally about 30 meters from the Pantheon. When you walk out the front door, you are 10 steps away from Piazza Rotunda. It's an incredible location. The price for this location is great. We paid just 100 EU for a double room.
When we arrived, it was not a good experience. There is no reception (which is fine), so you have to call and have someone meet you. Luis (or Luigi) was there on time to meet us, and he was very friendly. Unfortunately, we had not been warned that there was construction going on in the entry of the building. The rooms are on two floors of a building that houses apartments. There was a portable toilet and a small truck in the foyer of the building. There was construction work going on and there was exposed wiring. It was a big surprise, and it really frightened some of the people who were staying with us.
There is no elevator, and the rooms are up two (or more) flights of steps. Some of the rooms have the bed area up a small spiral staircase that would be difficult if you were overweight or had accessibility problems. There are rooms that are on one floor, though.
The rooms, however, were a nice surprise. They were clean and nicely decorated.
The breakfast was not that great. It was packaged croissants, juice, and decent coffee. Of course, you are right in the middle of Piazza Rotunda, you're a few steps from all types of wonderful places to grab coffee or other breakfasts.
Once the construction is done, I feel like the prices for these rooms
will increase dramatically. The rooms are nice, spacious, and clean. The location is incredible.
If you're staying anytime soon, be forewarned about the construction and the accessibility issues in some of the rooms. For people who just want a clean place to sleep right in the middle of the historic center of the city, this is a good choice.
