Hotel Pacific Roma
The staff was amazing and very helpful, if the goal is to go to the Vatican it’s a great location, a bit far from the rest but easy to commute

Grand Hotel Olympic
Staff was superb and very helpful. Yes a little far from most things but not too far. I put a deposit on my credit card and told it would be refunded once checked out, but it hasn’t happened yet. So that’s a downside.

Quality Hotel Nova Domus
No Air-conditioning and chair table in the room wasn't clean enough

Hotel Isa
Hotel is beautiful, views are stunning. Location is great too, right in front of a bus stop! Also feels less touristy of an area which is nice. It’s also close to a small grocery store, a pizza al taglio spot, & great restaurants. Breakfast rooftop buffet is a dream & the panoramic views are gorgeous. ...
