My husband and I got to the building and it didn’t look like a hotel or anything really, pretty much like a residential building with not much to say we were in the right place. At the time a resident was coming back to the building and she was kind enough to let us in. She didn’t really speak much English so I said hotel and she pointed to the fourth level. The lifts was very tiny and we only just managed to get ourselves and our 2 luggages in. When we got to the fourth floor there wasn’t really a reception area. There was just a laptop on a tiny table. To get checked in he took a photo of our passport on his phone and we filled out a sheet with our cc details for any damages etc. We found this unusual but thought anywhere you check in they will take your details regardless if it’s on a computer or phone. Our room was exactly like the pictures and it was very comfortable. The only weird thing was our room didn’t have any blankets so we had to ask for them. The walls are also thin and unfortunately on our first night we had extremely noisy neighbours and couldn’t sleep till 1-2am but they checked out the following morning. Overall after a day of adjusting it was a nice place and walking distant to a lot of restaurants and touristy attractions.

Beautiful modern room with a view friendly staff. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and it was close to the Borgese Museum and gardens. It didn't have the same old world charm as some other places in Rome, but it was a great value overall.
