I hesitate to write this review because the deserve it but I also don’t want the secret to get out! Prior to arrival I had so many email threads with this hotel for preplanning, including getting a birthday cake for my nieces. The hotel staff answered every email quickly and patiently that I had 1000 questions. When you arrive at the hotel you have to press the buzzer and they will let you in. I love the decor of the rooms because it feels like a historical house instead of a hotel. There’s also a communal kitchen with a large refrigerator for guests to use. The rooms are very clean and smelled very nice. The beds are also more comfortable and less hard than a lot of the other ones we had during our trip. The location of the hotel is great, very close to the Colosseum and also within walking distance of other main sites. I also liked that the hotel is in a quieter area so we didn’t hear any noise. There is a laundromat around the corner whew you can drop off laundry per kg, info given to us by the hotel staff. Also, the view from the terrace is gorgeous, especially at sunset! Barbara, who works at the front but also at the rooftop bar making drinks is an absolute treasure. The hotel helped us to arrange and surprise my nieces with a birthday cake on their terrace for their birthday one evening. They ordered the cake for us from a local bakery in advance and picked it up for us too. Barbara was at the terrace bar and brought us over the cake and some lovely drinks. The cake was absolutely delicious. After checkin, they messaged to let me know that we had forgotten things in the room so we were able to go back for it. Throughout our travels in Italy, not everyone was friendly or welcoming so it was really a pleasure to meet such genuinely kind people. If we are ever in Rome I will certainly stay at this hotel again and I highly recommend staying.
