In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Central location between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo. — The hotel is on Via del Babuino, a high-end shopping street, and reviewers say many of Rome's main sights are within walking distance. A nearby metro stop also makes the Colosseum about 15 minutes away by public transport.
  • Apartment-style interiors with room to spread out. — Suites include sitting areas, tea and coffee facilities, and the property lists cookware and kitchen utensils among its amenities. Several guests said it felt like having their own apartment in the city rather than staying in a standard hotel room.
  • Attentive, well-regarded staff. — Staff score 8.1 in the rating breakdown, and reviews call them friendly, professional and service-minded. Even without a permanently staffed reception, guests say key collection and requests were handled smoothly.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window and no full-time reception. — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:00, and because the reception isn't permanently staffed, key collection and payment need to be arranged in advance.
  • Value for money is the weakest of the rated categories. — Rates start at £118 per night, and Value scores 7.4 out of 10, lower than the other category ratings. One guest describes the rooms as clean and stylish but not luxurious, which fits the self-catering, semi-hotel model.
  • No pets allowed. — The property policy states that pets are not permitted, so guests travelling with animals will need to make other arrangements.

“Our stay was fantastic. The location could not have been better—just a short walk from the Spanish Steps and close to all the attractions. The suite was spacious and nicely decorated, with a comfortable bedroom and living area, and the kitchenette was a bonus for simple meals. Staff, especially Elena, took great care of us. We would happily return on our next trip to Rome and recommend it for the location, space and service.”

“A modern, spacious studio-style room in an excellent location, with a good shower and free Nespresso. Staff were friendly, though there is no permanently manned reception, so key collection and payment need to be arranged in advance—not a problem for us. It felt like having your own small apartment right in the centre of a fashionable neighbourhood.”

“Very clean, with large, cosy and well-decorated rooms. The bathrooms and showers are spacious and the equipment is excellent. It is centrally located on a high-end shopping street, close to the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, with a convenient metro stop nearby—the Colosseum is about a 15-minute ride away. Staff are welcoming and provide personal service.”

“The suites, set between Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo, are very nice. You can walk to many of the must-see sights while feeling as though you have your own pied-à-terre in the city. The design is modern, simple and cosy, the showers are excellent, and the free Nespresso is a plus.”

“Communication about ongoing road construction was pleasant and professional. The location was convenient, the rooms clean and the staff friendly. Comfortable amenities with good coffee and cookies, and modern, spacious accommodation, made the stay enjoyable.”
