You carnt go wrong booking this hotel, if you want a great location. Your walk out your front door ( Big large wooden doors, are the main entrance to this hotel). You are on a beautiful little cobblestone street, full of markets, shops, restaurants and bars. Two minutes walk to the river. The room itself is nice, but basic. The reason it is basic is because it has been left with a lot of character. There was three of us and the apartement was plenty big enough. My husband and I had the main bedroom and our 19 year old had the loft bed out in the kitchen area. There was another single fold away bed in our main bedroom. So if you are a family of 4, this apt would accomodate you all and it was very comfortable. We stayed 2 nights, and as for the noise it's not too bad. It certainally would not stop me from booking this hotel apartements again. Rome is very easy to get around and there are lots of good locations to stay. We stayed in two locations to get a different feel. The other location was near central train station, which was also good. The thing I loved most in this area though was the atmosphere which started the moment you walk out that BOLD BIG FRONT DOOR. Also they have one of the oldest elevators I have ever seen. Great character. We had the downstairs room on the left as you walk in and it had a little courtyard outback, for those who like to sit around, although in saying that if you want to sit around you are better of out on the street and enjoying all the happenings. Pretty quiet room this one as well!!!
