“The property is quite clean, the staff extremely helpful and breakfast decent. The position is ideal for visiting Piazza Navona and close to most sights and other areas too.”

“The spot is excellent, a short walk from lively Piazza Navona and lots of good restaurants. One staff member, in particular, was wonderfully warm. The room was cosy and contemporary, with nice lighting and a bathroom that had everything needed. The choice of pillows was a thoughtful extra that made for a good night's sleep.”
