The hotel has a stunning view and is just across the street from the Colliseum, making it a perfect spot for sightseeing. The rooms are spacious and clean, but the service can be a bit slow during peak times. Dining was enjoyable with great wine, although breakfast options were somewhat limited. Overall, the value for money is reasonable given the location.

The service was excellent, with friendly staff helping us throughout our stay. However, while the breakfast was decent, I felt it lacked variety, and the dining options could be more affordable.
