Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, you'll need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 10:00 to 21:00, so a late arrival could be problematic.
  • Some rooms are small — The Small Double Room has a single king bed and is likely compact, as the name suggests.
  • General rating below area average — The property's 8.2 rating is slightly below the Rome average of 8.7, though reviews are still largely positive.
