platja prop de Bertikow

Overall a very nice stay at this hotel. I am new to Rome so it is difficult to say what the standard usually is but this hotel is in a quiet and safe part of town but still withing walking distance of very nice restaurants (Osteria Urbana is great!) and the Bologna Metro station. We decided to walk to the Colosseum which took us 45 minutes going past the Fontana di trevi. The view from the patio is very beautiful with lush vegetation and quite a few green parrots to keep one looking ever towards the sky. The breakfast buffet is OK, nothing spectacular but there is a wide range of alternatives. Staff is very helpful and always on hand and we enjoyed every interaction with them as they are so kind and warm. One negative for us was the lack of free bottled water which I do think should be standard in an hotel but that is perhaps just a personal thing for us.

It was hard to figure out where to go even with talking with the hotel staff on the phone. There was no staff ever onsite that we saw. The shower didn’t drain well at all, so they put a raised grey thing in the shower so that you are not stepping in the water back washed from the drain. The sink drain also did not drain. Other than this everything was good, staff was nice, location was unbeatable. Trust me, we looked. This location was the best and we were fortunate.

Location location, close to the best attraction and restaurants. Rooms are small. The breakfast is good, although the amount of people having breakfast is a lot.
