This was our first time to Rome so we didn't know the area well. I chose this hotel because it looked close to the sights yet it was newer, clean and had a quad room (me, husband, 2 teenagers). It was PERFECT. It was walking distance to the Trevi Fountain and other areas. It is near the opera house and good restaurants. We always went toward the left out of the hotel where the sights are and good restaurants in many neighborhoods nearby. We used the Repubblica Metro stop to easily get to the Vatican and all the different areas. The staff spoke great English and were incredibly helpful with storing our luggage, giving us a metro map, arranging transportation to the airport upon departure. The room was exactly what we needed. The kids were very comfortable. New room, new / great bathroom and rain shower. Spacious bathroom. Great AC. Overall, I was very pleased with this hotel.
