The room was large and quite nice. The shower water temperature was irregular and got cold. Climate control also did not work. However, the primary reason for my low score was our check-in. We entered the building to check-in and asked if it was Il Covo. The woman at the desk rolled her eyes and said yes. The check-in process was long and the entire time this woman was incredibly rude to us - the only thing we can think was because we’re American. This was not a budget hotel (in our opinion) and to be treated so rudely was no expected. Days before our stay the first nights stay was put on my card, I had used Apple Pay. She asked me for the same card and I had the physical as she said she couldn’t use tap. This started a series of rejected transactions and the receptionist berating me in a crowded lobby, “for giving her the wrong card.” My fiancé tried to explain the virtual account number is different than physical and she cut him off. When any other person came in she spoke to them and ignored us in the midst of our check-in. Her colleague came out and asked if she needed help and she turned it down. The woman with the long hair who showed us our room was kind and gave a great dinner rec. the woman who helped us figure out a key issue was kind too. But this woman spoiled our stay - great location and breakfast down the street were huge perks but for the rest of our stay we were afraid the woman from check-in would be at the desk. Truly ruined our stay.

This hotel was an excellent location for walking to all the major sites around the city. The breakfast was in a local cafe, but perfectly adequate, if a little limited. The room was very comfortable, clean and quiet. But there was no kettle to make a drink. There was a lift for getting to the fifth floor. It felt safe and secure and there was a safe in the room.

The property was clean and the staff was very nice. Had a good breakfast to start the day. Our room did not have A/C and Rome was warm the week we were there. I do believe that the hotel has rooms with A/C. It wasn't too bad seeing how the evenings were cool. I didn't catch her name, but the woman at the desk in the evening was very helpful. She brought ice up to our room when my wife fell and twisted her ankle. During the day, Rosanna was also helpful getting us going in the right direction to see the sights of Rome.

There was no air conditioning so was a bit warm and had to leave window open so lots of city noise. The elevator was nice to have. Step into shower was 12-16 inch up. Was ok but could be difficult.

Good stay

We stayed in a large room with a tiny bath and were very comfortable. Breakfast in a small restaurant 2 blocks away was nice -- croissants, coffee, bread, cheese, yogurt and juice. After a few days we paid extra for omelets to get a little protein and variety. Very nice neighborhood with good restaurants just half a mile from the Roman Colosseu.

This property was perfect for getting around to the Colosseum/Roman Forum, and also to the Trevi Fountain/Pantheon as it sits close to both. We also we able to walk from the train station as well even though with luggage wasn’t ideal. The breakfast was good and the staff were very nice. It is in the city so expect noise outside and could hear people in the hallway fairly easily. Overall we really enjoyed that we stayed here because of the ability to get around.

We had a great stay here. The room is spacious and gives you a real Rome feeling with the furniture and exposed brick ceiling. Grateful to have been on the bottom floor as the stair case up is quite windy. A staircase we climbed many times to enjoy the beautiful patio up top. The down side to the bottom floor room would be the sound of vehicles right by the window but I do believe all ground floor rooms in Rome may have this same issue. The bathroom is clean and everything worked really well. The location is great for walking and I cannot say enough great things about the included breakfast. The breakfast is at a small restaurant down the street and the food was always served fast and fresh. Note it’s a set menu but we enjoyed it all 5 mornings and the money saved was an added bonus! The staff were all so incredibly helpful weather we needed to borrow an iron or our hair dryer wasn’t working, they even called us a cab at check out! If you want a great authentic Roman experience this is a great place to stay I would absolutely stay here again.
