Located on the corner of a small street in the heart of ancient Rome, Mood 44 is a unique place to stay. The outside is the typical "old Rome façade", yet inside is modern, clean and well equipped. Given it's not the typical "hotel" experience (e.g. no room service or 24-hour front-desk staffing), I felt more like I lived there than was a visiting guest. Staff gave me an overview of the facility and recommended local eateries as during Covid they were not serving breakfast. I had an access key to the front door to come and go as I pleased. There is an elevator that goes all the way to the roof top so no need to worry about dragging suitcases up staircases. The rooms are spacious, very modern, and very comfortable. The windows and curtains block out the sounds of the city, so no issues with sleep. Using Mood 44 as a base, I was close to many of the historic landmarks (Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and relatively close to the Forum and Colosseum). If you like to walk around and get the feel of a city, and have tons of restaurant choices without the fuss of dealing with big full-service hotels, Mood 44 is perfect, especially if you are on a budget. If I get to visit Rome again, I will stay there again without hesitation.
