Positives: Location is fantastic, in a very charming and lively neighbourhood centrally located in Rome making everything walkable in minutes. Breakfast is simple, but tasty, and whilst the staff are only around briefly during the day, they are helpful and warm. The room, whilst a little more basic than those pictured, was functional enough, with a comfortable bed, and overall a very good option for the price.
The negative however is the noise!!!! I live in a big city, so road noise, people in squares outside at night are not an issue for me, but here it is something else. My room was directly above a bar that is open until 2am every night with heavy bass music that beats continuously from around 10pm until they close making it impossible to even close your eyes. The speaker must be directly under the bed meaning every beat reverberates through the wall and the bed meaning you just can’t avoid it. Even with the earplugs provided you cannot ignore it.
If you want to sleep later to make up for it, forget it. The room is also located right next to the breakfast terrace and the main reception desk meaning from 7am you will have people bumping around with plates and talking outside your door. If you want to nap during the day, again forget it… the square outside has musicians of varying talent playing throughout the day meaning even a nap will be prevented by bongos and drums.
A charming hotel, at a good price, in a very nice part of Rome but after 3 days where I probably managed 3-4 hours of decent sleep a night, I’m leaving very, very tired!
