The hotel was great ! Spotlessly clean , lovely large room and bathroom . The breakfast was plentiful with a large selection of choice both hot and cold. We loved the location - just a stroll to the sights of the Coliseum and Trevi Fountain. A lovely stay in Rome!

Trastevere Roma | UNA Esperienze
It was an overall 5 star experience. Staff is great, rooms are comfortable, breakfast buffet is delicious, upstairs restaurant is amazing and the location is perfect. Close to everything but yet distant enough from the noise. Fully recommend and I will be staying here again on my next visit.
