This hotel has a great location if you want to get out of some of the hustle and bustle of more touristed areas of Rome. It is just a 6-min walk to the Castro Pretorio metro stop allowing you to take the metro in to various other parts of Rome. It's also around a 15-min walk to Termini. The hotel is located in the midst of many embassies which makes it very safe if over-policed. It is also incredibly quiet.
The pool was a wonderful getaway during our hot July visit. Though some reviewers found it to cold, we enjoyed it. The cool temps meant people tended to jump in and out, so that even if there were various guests around the pool, it never felt too busy.
Our room had adequate AC and the hotel bar was a beautiful area to spend time.
My only complaint is that upon check-in, we were told our child wouldn't count toward the daily tax, but then on check out, we were charged the daily tax for all of us. When I asked about this, the person checking us out didn't really explain the discrepancy or recognize the difference in what they promised vs. what we were charged, and was fairly rude about me asking why there was a a charge when we were told there wouldn't be.
