Read in full. This hotel ended up working out great but threw me in the beginning. You have to understand what this place is. It’s a budget friendly room with modern amenities. This is NOT a traditional hotel w a lobby, concierge, grand front entrance etc… The website shows a building across the street which is misleading. That is the “view” part of the name. The “actual” hotel is located in a non descript office building on the 3rd floor. At first sight, bags in hand I was very upset and started looking for other places to stay.
Once I calmed down, the experience did get better. The interior was sparkling clean, modern and new. The rooms were actually quite comfortable relative to the tiny older hotel rooms in the area. The staff was highly attentive.
I went out at night and there were a series of locking doors so it actually felt quite safe. I had my 8 year old daughter with me and we didn’t have any concern for safety.
The location borders on the popular Monti area which with tons to do. It it walking distance to the Colosuem. It’s also a short walk to the Roma Termini station, but I regretted walking due to cobblestone sidewalks. It’s only a few blocks but worth a taxi with luggage.
Bottom line: The interior of the hotel was excellent. It was just the exterior experience that made me very uncomfortable in the beginning. Had the hotel disclosed this, I would have better understood the situation.
