Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although agreed upon in advance, felt tiny and ill-equipped, leading to discomfort during the night due to poor air circulation behind the curtains. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff offering a delightful experience. The location is superb, allowing easy access to major attractions, although the high restaurant prices were a downside. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the rooftop view, and the facilities were satisfactory.

Staying at this hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms, while equipped with a mini bar fridge and a safe, fell short of the glamorous image portrayed on the website, being small and cramped. On the positive side, the service was exceptional, from the helpful bellman to the attentive Maitre d', who even made a thoughtful gesture of spring flowers as an apology. The location, though ideal for sightseeing and dining, seemed to lack the expected luster. Dining, on the other hand, offered a spectacular view of the Imperial forum but was hit-or-miss with the buffet breakfast. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.

The hotel has a quaint charm, with slightly dated rooms and reception but a lovely terrace to relax. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from Rome's iconic Colosseum.

I couldn't have asked for a better location in Roma. The hotel offers amazing views of the Forum and classical buildings, and it's just a stone's throw away from key landmarks like the Colosseo. However, dining prices were steep, with even a boiled egg costing 5 Euros! Nonetheless, the comfort of the room and the convenience of being right under the dining room made my stay memorable.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while just off a nice terrace with a view of the forum, had a bit of a humid smell and could use a bathroom upgrade. The service was welcoming and helpful, but some staff members seemed disinterested. The location, right in the heart of ancient Rome and close to the Colosseum, was unbeatable. The dining was enjoyable with a good buffet selection. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
