We were sent a detailed video on how to check-in outside of their office hours. We had trouble finding the keycard but we called on WhatsApp and it turned out we were looking in the wrong spot - our mistake! Thank you to the staff for answering and being friendly. The room is very tiny but this is to be expected. As others have said, they make excellent use of the space and we never felt cramped. All the amenities worked great: cold AC, TV with lots of channels, mini-fridge, safe, and a small kitchen with complimentary tea, coffee, and cookies just outside our door.
The bathroom and shower were great. It is important to note you may have to run the hot water for a few minutes before it gets hot. This is typical for very old buildings. Once it's hot it's steaming!
We stayed for 3 nights and only needed the room cleaned one of the days. After a day of sightseeing we came back to an absolutely spotless room the same as when we first checked in. Thank you again to the staff!
The hotel is easily walkable to most sightseeing locations in Rome. Because it's also in the "middle" of lots of sightseeing, it was convenient to stop in at the hotel to change clothes, fill up our water bottles, or rest between locations. Just outside your door is the beautiful Opera theatre and many wonderful restaurants and bars. The restaurant just around the corner that the hotel recommended (Osteria il Riposto) ended up being our favourite.
Thank you to the wonderful staff for a great stay!
