For anyone recently travelling to Rome with last minute or booking.com please note that the issues with hotel rooms not being paid for is not the hotels fault. I got official confirmation from LM VIP office, it's the supplier not the hotel. Originally I was supposed to stay at the hotel trevi on the trevi fountain but due to storm damage they moved me here. Also with the payment issues I had to repay and then get a refund from LM, (which I am, fyi email the CEO it worked for me lol). I was met by Geovanni, who seemed no nonsense at first but after a short period of chatting to, was actually a perfect professional but with a big heart and I made a friend. If it wasn't for Giovanni my short solo trip would have been miserable. Restaurants recommendations were spot on and great places, one was a lovely local place just on the main street 3 min walk from hotel, brilliant food and well priced. Second was a bit more up market but I asked for seafood and got the best. Hotel location rather good, Rome is best seen walking so if anything this has a good central location, it's about a 15-20 min walk to trevi fountain. Not all the rooms are off the street, I did have a street room and kinda liked the novelty. WiFi is a bit poo but if that worries you then don't try budget holidays in old cities lol. Yes there are some homeless but they get moved on by the locals or the hotel it's not as bad as some are making out. This hotel is not a Hilton bit it's well run it is friendly anyone saying it's not, is likely one of those who think they are super important and have no social empathy. Beat in mind I had a horrendous first day in Rome and I'm so glad I ended up at this hotel. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the main areas. Recommended it for those who just want a good reliable base to sleep. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Still Giovanni and all the staff are amazing. Just make a little effort to remember they are humans doing a rather difficult job. (Photo is taken from bathroom to front door that leads to the street) Thank you! Dale
