Rooms are spacious and come with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, minibars, and safes, and apartments add kitchenettes. Decor can look dated, and street-facing rooms will be noisy. A breakfast buffet is served daily in a charming breakfast room, or guests can opt to dine alfresco in the lovely courtyard with a fountain. A bar there serves drinks and snacks in the evening. Travelers who would prefer more modern rooms should check out the Hotel Caprice instead.

Scene
Historic hotel with relaxing courtyard, most popular with couples and families
Housed in a former monastery that dates back to the 1700s, this charming hotel is cozy and classic. The lobby on the second floor features a beautiful vaulted ceiling with frescoes, plus sofas where guests can hang out. Rooms and apartments are spread over five floors served by two elevators. A highlight of the hotel is its lovely courtyard, with a central stone fountain flanked by tall columns. It's a quiet, relaxing place to hang out in the evening and have a drink and a snack from the bar, and guests also can have their breakfast there in the morning. A second terrace on the fourth floor provides another outdoor hangout spot. Despite its pluses, the hotel is fairly typical for central Rome budget and mid-range properties, and many interiors could use some sprucing up. It mostly draws couples and families on vacation, but groups and individuals also pass through.

Rooms
Spacious rooms with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, plus apartments with kitchenettes
This hotel offers double, triple, and quadruple rooms, as well as studios and Family Rooms with kitchenettes. Because of the historic nature of the building, the rooms differ in size and layout. Rooms are spacious for Rome, and they feature classic decor that looks a bit dated, with old-fashioned bedspreads, dark wood furniture, patterned carpeting, and damask striped draperies. Standard features include air-conditioning, flat-screen satellite TVs, free Wi-Fi, safes, and minibars stocked with bottled water and soft drinks. Apartments have one or two rooms and add kitchenettes with stovetops, refrigerators, sinks, and dishes and glasses. Bathrooms are compact, with shower/tub combos, bidets, hairdryers, and toiletries. Views are of the city or the courtyard with its fountain and lush greenery. Keep in mind that rooms overlooking the streets are liable to pick up substantial noise.
