My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, though clean, were not in the best shape with issues like a broken toilet and maintenance problems. On the bright side, they were spacious and reasonably clean. The service was friendly and accommodating, even offering us ant spray. The location was a bit rough, especially at night, but decent if you're on a budget. The dining options were limited, and the staff struggled with English. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel was a cheap place to stay.

The hotel offers super clean rooms with comfortable bedding and essential amenities, but the bathroom experience could be improved. The staff is generally helpful, except for some hiccups during the night shift. The location is decent but can feel a bit rough at night. The dining options are varied, but some aspects were inadequate. Overall, a passable choice for a stay in Rome.
