I visited this hotel in February. Good location, very close to the Vatican and to a metro station which was useful for getting around. The first problem with the hotel is that it's difficult to find. Athough it is signposted, the signs arent enormously clear, and the only signage outside the actual hotel was a small brass plaque above head level, so we did spend a while looking for it! Once we got inside we spent a good 10-15 minutes looking for a member of staff to check us in, eventually we managed to find a cleaner who clearly had no idea what he was doing, but after a couple more minutes someone appeared who did know what to do. The staffs english was extremely limited, so although they were all very friendly, I wouldnt exactly describe them as being helpful, as they couldnt really understand what we wanted help with!
The room itself was lovely, beautiful furniture and all very, very clean! We were provided with plently of towels and we had a kettle and a fridge so we could make drinks. However, we were only provided with one pillow each. Sounds like a small thing, but after a couple of nights sleeping with one (very flat!) pillow it does tend to give you neckache! The staff didnt understand when we asked for another one either. The bed was also a little too firm for either of us, it actually got uncomfortable after a while.
The room was also, although beautiful, very small. Okay for a weekend away, but any longer than that and I'd suggest you stay somewhere else!
One main point with the room is that it had an amazing jacuzzi bath in it! Very luxurious and just generally a nice touch! However, it did become neccessary to use the bath as the shower was useless and flooded the bathroom everytime we used it! Not ideal.
We were provided with keys so we could come and go as we liked, which was excellent, and as I've mentioned already, good location! Several nice restaurants nearby, and grocery stores too which was useful.
The best bit about the hotel was the breakfast, you got to choose from a menu and choose a time for it to be delivered to your door. The breakfast itself was lovely, but they did get our orders wrong every morning and it was also late every morning.
Despite the hotels faults, I would stay there again, I'd just have to get a very good deal! None of the faults were massive, and we still had a lovely stay, it was really just niggly bits that I can imagine, if you stayed there for longer than we did (3 days) would get annoying.
