Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Gemelli hospital and the train station. The rooms show signs of wear and had some cleanliness issues, but the service was friendly and helpful. The dining options were limited, and not Mediterranean, but the hotel facilities were satisfactory for a comfortable stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit outdated and lacking technology, did have a small TV. Unfortunately, my room was at the end of the corridor and had no internet access. The service was friendly overall, but some staff members seemed to only speak Italian. The location was convenient for certain needs but not ideal for easy access to the city center or attractions. Dining options were limited, although the gentleman running the dining area was quite caring. The facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms, although spacious and comfortable, lacked modern technology and cleanliness was an issue with food remnants on the carpets. On the bright side, the staff tried to address the internet problem and were friendly and understanding. The location, while convenient for the nearby train station, was far from the city center. The dining experience had its highs with a caring staff member, but there were missed opportunities for better options. Despite some shortcomings, the facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was isolated at the end of the corridor without internet, but the staff made efforts to resolve the issue. The room itself felt old and lacking technological updates, and it was not properly cleaned as there were still food remnants on the carpets.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is convenient for those using the train station nearby, but it might be far from the downtown area for some. The rooms were in need of updating and were not the cleanest, with lingering food on the carpets. However, the service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff ready to assist with anything. Dining options were limited, but the gentleman working there was caring and attentive. Overall, the experience had its flaws, but the friendly service and convenient location made it bearable.
