Stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in March, as 2 of our party were running in the Rome Marathon (both completed it ✅) & it was my birthday too! 🥳
An interesting albeit, slightly eccentric but quite unique hotel in a converted monastery which sits alongside a nunnery & working church. Rooms located on the street side (we were in 223) are a little noisy especially if you have the window open at night, but others at the side overlook some gardens & are quieter. The rooms themselves are tad austere, with basic furnishings, sheets & blankets bedding, but clean & functional. Power sockets old fashioned but found couple of modern European type of plug sockets by unplugging TV & lamp. Main thing missing from the room is facilities for making drinks in the room. So, take a travel kettle, mugs & drink ingredients if you want teas & coffees in the room. Some vending machines for drinks & snacks in communal seating area on lower ground floor. Staff were pleasant & friendly with pretty good English. The terrace on the 4th floor was being refurbished so wasn’t open, but there is another smaller terrace on 2nd floor. As a result, the continental breakfast which used to be served on 4th-floor terrace was served in a windowless room on the lower ground floor with a TV a one end showing rolling pop videos! Breakfast reasonable & comprised pastries & cakes, bread, ham, cheese, jams, cereal, yoghurt, juice, fresh fruit bowl (apples & oranges), teas & coffees, but no variety so same every day.
