The hundreds-years-old building is tired—in need of sprucing up. But our 2 rooms were fantastic! 4 stars for the stylish, spacious and super clean rooms. Easy walk to everything too. We’d definitely stay here again.

The entry was less than inviting. If the room was painted and furniture cleaned would help make it more presentable. Felt old and dirty.

Our stay at the hotel was very nice. We had a quadruple room and it was large and comfortable. The hotel is close to the train station which is nice if you are traveling by train. The hotel is located a few blocks away from the extremely touristic areas of town, which was nice. However, there are several restaurants and shops close by. I would definitely stay there again

This property was very nice. Great location to walk to every tourist attraction except for Vatican City. The rooms were a bit small, but they were accommodating and gave our family of 4 (4 adults) 2 separate rooms.

This hotel is tired! When you enter off the street it feels dirty, although our room was clean. I would not recommend this hotel, since it is expensive for the quality and condition of the building.
