Melody Suite

Not a fancy hotel - but better than that - you have an owner ( Stefano) that welcomes and treats you like family. Although not in the heart of the city the Melody Suite is well positioned for easy walking access to the termini station and the main attractions in Rome. Would I stay here again - yes .

Although I was traveling for business with one extra day for sightseeing, I think Melody Suites would be even better for couples and wish that my wife could have come along. My suite had a comfortable bed and a well-functioning modern (sleek) bathroom. The air-conditioning worked well. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and they maintain very high standards for cleanliness both inside and outside of the room. There are just three suites within Melody Suites, which lies within a much larger building that includes regular apartments, surrounding a courtyard. The building is secure and located on a relatively quiet street, but is within walking distance (< 1/2-mile) of 2 or 3 subway stations and the central train terminal. Melody Suites is also a little bit longer walk to many of Rome's prime attractions, although you can take the subway a couple stops to the Coliseum, etc., if you are not a walker. There are also a couple of high-quality but reasonably priced restaurants on the very same block, where many locals eat when they want to go out on a weekend evening--a good sign.

There was no concierge there was we were told there was 24 hour service couldn’t get a hold of anybody very poor communication being in a foreign country. We expected to have a situation where there’s a concierge. The room was excellent super clean beautifully done absolutely no complaints there. The complaint I do have is though we were giving four keys which for first office is confusing. It took that many keys to get into our room. If I knew that upfront, I would not have booked this day when I booked with Melody suites and they had good Reviews. We felt very confident that we would receive the help that we needed. When we tried to book a cab we could not do it because the language barrier. So we called the concierge. They said they couldn’t do it. That was after two or three hours after I messaged them. Unfortunately what makes the whole situation unfortunate. It was when we checked out my wife left her cell phone in the room, which was certainly our fault. But we had to leave the key and lock all the doors to get out and there was no way to get out luckily for us. There were other people in the building. The building consisted of I think other businesses are
