Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:30 to 22:00 and check-out is by 10:00, so late arrivals and leisurely mornings need planning.
  • Occasional service inconsistency — Service scores 9.7 and most reviews are positive, but one guest noted that some staff members were not professional.
  • Paid airport shuttle — The airport transfer is a paid service, so it is worth including in the budget if you are flying in.

“It made a convenient base for a shopping trip, right next to the shops, Piazza del Popolo and Spagna metro station. The room was beautifully maintained, air-conditioned and had a large bed. The decor was sophisticated, and the fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and dining area were all excellent. The location was magnificent, close to a lively, elegant square, and the staff were wonderfully friendly and courteous. We would happily come back.”
