The hotel offers beautifully designed rooms with fabulous rain showers and USB sockets next to the bed. The rooms are clean and excellent, although the view rooms are a bit small. The staff surprised us with a touching birthday cake for my daughter and were incredibly helpful and friendly. The location is unbeatable, right on the Via del Corso with easy access to all the city attractions. The dining experience was outstanding, providing one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Overall, a fantastic stay with top-notch service and amenities.
I had an absolutely TOP experience at this hotel. The rooms had a beautiful design, fabulous rain shower, and USB sockets next to the bed, which were all in top shape and very clean. The staff were very helpful, making the stay well organized and enjoyable. While the price was a bit high, the value for money was definitely there because of the quality of the rooms and service.
The hotel had stunning rooms with a huge bathroom, large bed, and modern design. The staff were very helpful, but the maintenance was sometimes lacking. The rooms were spacious and very quiet, offering a great stay overall.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were super clean and the sofa bed was very comfortable. The service, especially from Francesca and Amira, was top-notch - they were incredibly friendly, professional, and sensitive. The location couldn't have been better, right on the famous shopping street Via del Corso. The dining experience was outstanding, offering one of the best breakfasts I've ever had.
