the hotel is next to the circus maximus so its location is amazing. the architecture includes a beautiful courtyard , a lovely place to relax. the staff are attentive and always happy to assist. the room included a lovely bathroom.
you can literally hear everything from the next rooms. i heard loud music playing until around 3 am one night , probably from a nearby restaurant. it was not acceptable because i could not sleep. i think the hotel should ensure the rest of their guests.

I was disappointed. The air conditioning did not work, and I found many ants in the room. It was not worth the price I paid, especially given other positive reviews I had seen. The room did not meet my expectations at all
