This was a really nice property centrally located to some great places. First day I even woke up to a violinist and laying outside my window! I would say the only downside is the wifi and reception. Not the hotel’s fault but Rome is just awful with reception and wifi. If you’re coming, order a MiFi hotspot that you can pick up from the airport on arrival. You should always have good reception with it. Great hotel!
