"A delightful Stay"Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009Value:
3I stayed at this delightful hotel towards the end of November in 2006. Although this is considered off season in Italy, the hotel was busy with guest arriving and departing regularly. Specifically, I noticed that the hotel had many Italian guests which I found particularly telling of their popularity among locals. The staff was very helpful and patient from beginning to end. Unlike many Italian locals who may have a tendancy for impatience, and even dislike for americans, I found the staff pleasant and down to earth. The room was spacious and simple, clean and bright. Any request I made for blankets or towels was answered within minutes regardless of the time of night. The rates are very reasonable. Although many people may complain about the slight distance from the center, I found it delightful to have the peace and quite. A bus is found regularly up the block, and there are always taxi's. I would suggest looking where you walk on the streets of rome as dog owners don't clean up after themselves in public. The dining staff was very professional and attentive. The breakfast is decent, although the eggs are a bit watery, but there is variety. The only improvement I would suggest is the breakfast, lunch and dinner. Perhaps it is just my own taste, coming from New York, but my own experience was that the main dishes need some life and zest, but a great bargain with unlimited veggies and salads which was fresh and delicious. I found that the tap water was just as clean as the bottled water, so I drank both throughout my stay. My last night was refunded because I stayed with a friend, without any problems whatsoever, unlike other hotels which would only refund a portion (i cancelled last minute). Lastly, there is 24 hour free internet access which was very helpful.
A great hotel.
