Charming hotel in a great, central location in Trastevere. We booked a suite with a garden view which was located on the first floor. The hotel has a small but nice garden in the center portion of the building with lots of chairs and tables where you can sit and relax, have coffee or breakfast, etc.
Our room was spacious and the bathroom had a shower and a jacuzzi tub. The bed was comfortable enough and they provided plenty of pillows. The pressure in the shower wasn't the greatest and the toiletries were minimal, I wish they provided hair conditioner and body lotion. Also no robes or slippers were provided which is unusual especially when booking a suite. There's a safe in the room and they provide a complimentary smart phone which you can use while going around the city for data as well as local calls. They don't have blinds on the windows and the curtains don't entirely block out light. The windows in the room aren't sound proof and since they're facing the garden, we could hear the noise and chatter of people congregating in the garden late at night.
The breakfast was small but adequate providing eggs, ham, cheese, breads and some pastries, fruits, yogurt and cereals. The best part though was the coffee machine which made the best, really strong cappuccino with a nice thick creamy foam. This machine made much better espresso coffee drinks than did some attendants at other hotels. They also offered trays in case you want to take your breakfast to the room.
There was a tram stop less than a block away from the hotel, as well as a taxi stand just across the main road. The hotel does arrange transportation if needed (a private car to the FCO airport is 50 euro, a taxi is a flat fee of 48 euro). The entire staff was very nice, friendly and helpful.
