Worth weighing
4 to weigh- You'll need to use transport for the centre — The quiet, hilly location is a deliberate step back from Rome's busy streets; most trips to the historic centre, Vatican and Colosseum start with a bus or taxi.
- There's a climb to reach the hotel — One guest notes that the route up to the hotel involves a bit of a climb, which could be a consideration with heavy luggage or limited mobility.
- Pets are not permitted — The hotel policy is no pets, so this isn't the right choice for travelling with animals.
- Fixed arrival and departure times — Check-in is only between 13:30 and 23:59, and check-out is by 10:00, leaving little flexibility for very late arrivals or relaxed mornings.

8.4Verified guest“My room was large, spotless and had a comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and brought an extra blanket when I asked. I liked the view on the taxi ride down into town, and as a solo woman I felt safe walking in the area. The herbal shower gel was a small but nice touch, and the Wi-Fi worked well throughout my stay. I would happily recommend this hotel.”
8.4Verified guest“Very good location and a solid breakfast, with clean rooms, friendly staff and lovely views, all in a non-smoking property.”
8.4Verified guest“A charming hotel with a mixed crowd of international travellers. I enjoyed the continental breakfast, which had a wide choice of cereals, pastries and fruit. The hotel is in a pretty area with a park nearby and several bus stops for getting around the city. Wi-Fi and TV were both provided, and it felt relaxing and excellent value for the price.”
8.4Verified guest“The staff were polite and spoke English. Breakfast was fine, and coffee was brought to the table. The location is a quiet residential area, yet still close enough to the centre and within walking distance of the main sights and public transport.”
8.4Verified guest“The hotel sits in a charming residential district, so it feels like a peaceful escape from Rome's busy centre. A short bus ride gets you to the Vatican and the Colosseum, and Termini is easy to reach for onward travel. The rooms were clean and comfortable with everything needed for a pleasant stay, and the continental breakfast offered plenty of choice, including cereals, pastries and fruit. Beautiful parks surround the hotel, adding to the relaxed atmosphere.”
8.4Verified guest“There was a cute, friendly atmosphere and guests from all over the world. Breakfast had a wide range of options, and the rooms were basic but well equipped, with Wi-Fi and a TV. The outdoor area was a lovely place to relax, and the hotel's position near several bus stops made exploring Rome simple. The park across the street and the 25-minute walk to St Peter's Basilica were both big pluses.”
