NH Collection Roma Giustiniano
The beds were very comfortable. The rooms were clean and quiet. Service was wonderful. Location was close to bus stations and about 15 minutes walking to Rome center, 5 minutes away walking from the Vatican. Breakfast was good however not much variety. Lots of cheeses, deli meats, breads, yogurt ...
