The staff took care of coordinating the airport transfers. This was very helpful.

The room I was given was quite dusty. I began to experience allergy symptoms. The bathroom did not seem very clean. The shower door looked like it needed a good scrub and maintenance.

Excellent Stay near Via Veneto

polite staffspacious roomvaried choiceconvenient location

I found the staff polite and eager to assist with directions. The room was quite spacious, and it included two distinct bathrooms, which helped a lot. Breakfast featured a wide variety of choices. I especially liked the fresh ingredients. The location near Piazza Barberini proved very convenient for seeing main attractions. The SPANISH steps were close.

The old elevator moved slowly. Sometimes there was a short wait.
