We stayed at this property on the last night of a 2 week trip to Italy, and considered this to be the splurge of our trip. While there are some nice things about this hotel, it is not a 5 star hotel and of all the places we stayed during our trip, it was the only hotel I would not return to, the least nice of all our hotel stays, and the most expensive. We stayed at another hotel in Rome at the beginning of the trip as our flight was in and out of Rome. That hotel was much nicer, much less expensive - and in an equally good location.
I understand that this is a very old property and the uniqueness of it is one of its nice features. The property itself is somewhat shabby. Our room itself was not very nice. It was drab, undecorated, and plain. The bathroom was nice. The bed was perhaps the most uncomfortable bed I have ever encountered at a hotel. Room size you can’t do anything about, but the comfort of the bedding you can. This hotel advertises as a 5 star hotel, but feels like a 3 star hotel at best.
There is a nice rooftop bar, though it is very expensive. The location is great.
There are much nicer and less expensive hotels to be found in Rome. This was the only disappointment of our trip - nothing that impacted the trip - but this was nothing like what was advertised or what we paid for.
If you are expecting a 5 star or luxury stay, look elsewhere. And you can do so much better in terms of comfort and decor for much less money.
