  : The train station was very close to the hotel, a 7 min walk. We got there around 10am, early for check-in, but thankfully the guy (I completely forget his name!) was there and still allowed us to check in and leave our bags. We left and our room was ready a bit early around 2:30pm. Finishing check-in was very easy. I did notice some of the reviews mentioned there was never anyone around and that was basically true. Very rarely was there someone in the actually hotel (which only had a few rooms, but seems common in Italy). We did see someone cleaning rooms, but they don't clean the rooms during your stay, which was fine by us. The guy did give us his personal number and told us to reach out if we needed anything, but we didn't bother. The location was amazing! We loved how central it was and there was tons of bars and restaurants literally right downstairs. We didn't bother looking for places to eat, because we just went downstairs and went to a different restaurant each night! Our colosseum tour also met about 3 min walk away which was fantastic! The room was huge. We got the standard double room with a queen bed and it was very comfortable for my sister and I. I'm much more used to comforters so that wasn't great. It has a large window, with a cute view of the very active little street outside with all the bars and restaurants. Not really a view of the city, but fun to see anyways! It did get a bit loud at night, but if everything is closed up and the blinds closed, it wasn't bad. The room also had a nespresso machine.
  : Bathroom could be updated. It wasn't horrible, but definitely didn't fit the updated feel of the rest of the hotel The "blanket" on the bed was incredibly thin. We had our own blankets for traveling with us and used them along with the sheets and "blanket" they provided. Stairs. About 4 flights of stairs to reach the hotel. Not awful, but definitely something to think about when booking. Lights: and honestly I just feel stupid for this, but the lights in the main halls of the hotel were never on when we were coming and going. We just always turned on our phone flashlights to get around. It wasn't until our last day that we figured out that next to every door (entry door and room doors) there were light switches to turn the lights on and off. Something I wish someone would have told us before!
