Viatges a Ain al-Sabah

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.

We had a great two-night stay! The front desk staff provided very precise directions via train to the hotel from our port in Civitavecchia beforehand, so we had no trouble finding Relais de la Poste. The location was excellent and very central. Close to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and plenty of shopping, restaurants, and beautiful piazzas - perfect for first timers wanting to take as much in as possible in a short time. Just a 30 minute walk to the Colosseum or the Tiber River and St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City. Our room was quiet, clean and comfortable. They offered a self serve breakfast each morning for an additional cost; and had a cold water and ice filling station available for guests to use at any time. The air conditioning in the room worked great which was appreciated during 40 degree heat! The front desk staff were very kind, polite, and helpful, and getting in and out of the building was easy. We enjoyed our stay here, and would book again should we ever find ourselves back in Rome.

The power outlets were sparse and old which made the connection very loose. Also no direct USB-C ports which made it hard to charge anything bedside. The rooms were very small and after opening bags, there were no wiggle room to move around and adjust.

Lovely hotel and prompt and good staff assistance when needed.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Place is next to the Brooklyn Bridge, Wall St, Chinatown, just so much to do and you can just walk everywhere.
