Rome Hotel Guide - National Academy of St. Cecilia hotels in Rome, Italy.

"Although I was initially off-put by the lack of a lobby and no obvious way to enter the property, it wound up being a good experience. I had a "deluxe" room which was spotlessly clean and had been recently renovated. The property is really 2 very old buildings which have been combined, so there is a mix of modern updating with some very old fixtures. etc. If you need front desk help 24/7, this is not for you since the front desk is only staffed from 9:00 to 6:00. The elevator is very small, but new and functional (on the outside of the building!). The location is the hotel's best feature--one block from the Metro and walkable just about anywhere within 30 minutes or less."

"I stayed in room 406 for seven nights and overall had a mixed experience. The room—and especially the bathroom—was exceptionally clean, easily one of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The breakfast was also quite good and very substantial, which was a nice way to start each day. That said, there were a few drawbacks. The room temperature was consistently too warm, and it appeared that the heating and air conditioning were centrally controlled, as the in-room thermostat didn’t seem to have any effect. This made sleeping very uncomfortable. Opening the window helped with the temperature, but it introduced way too much street noise for sleeping, so we opted for the room being too warm. While the breakfast quality was solid, the selection was exactly the same each day. After a week-long stay, a bit more variety would have been appreciated. Lastly, the elevator doors close too quickly—almost immediately after selecting a floor—and do not reopen once they begin closing. This made entering the elevator somewhat challenging when multiple people were getting on. I got separated from my husband and I witnessed the same thing happen to other people when the elevator doors locked us out."

"This is a gem of a hotel conveniently located within walking distance of the Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, and Roma Termini—all within a maximum of 15-20 minutes on foot. However, if you have luggage, it’s better to take a taxi to the train station. We walked a few times for day trips, and the walk was about 15 minutes at most. As for the hotel, the staff was very attentive, polite, and courteous. The breakfast crew was always kind and friendly. The facilities were clean, with a lovely view from the terrace. I would 100% recommend this place; we were very satisfied with our stay. "

"Beautiful place Breakfast is great "

"The room was spotless, the staff were amazing, and the location was great, within walking distance to most major attractions (10-15 mins). Being right beside Villa Borghese park was such a bonus; it was lovely to start the day with a peaceful stroll through such a beautiful setting. The area also felt very safe and quiet. The hotel has such a cool, unique, and interesting vibe that really made the stay stand out."

"Everything was excellent, except its location, as it is far from the city attractions, but this wasn't a big issue with the free shuttle service offered by the hotel."
