As we spent three weeks traveling from city to city in Italy, we had several other hotels to compare Emona Aquaeductus to.
I chose this hotel as exceptional visual design is a requisite in choosing hotels- this hotel is very beautiful.
Too, we came full circle regarding being right next to a major Ancient Roman monument.
Our room was exceptionally lovely but a bit short on basic, essential amenities - no coffee maker, no luggage rack, no shelving in the bath for toiletries. The lighting in the bathroom was inadequate.
The breakfast hours were brief and early - 7:30-9:30 and if you wanted coffee you had to order it from the staff! Too, the coffee temperature was only warm. Breakfast was okay, but there was not much available - we had to ask for juice, there was no breakfast meat, little fruit and the pastries were dry and stale.
On a positive note, the staff was very nice ( they helped us order a taxi and gave us some coffee prior to 7:30am).
In addition, the original building and many of its features have been preserved ( including a very old, charming working elevator, sliding stained glass doors in our room and more). The patio is a charming oasis and commons areas tastefully, uniquely designed. As I said, visually, this is a beautiful hotel.
