Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was an amazing experience. The rooms were spacious and clean with all the facilities you could need, and the view of the colosseum from the atrium was breathtaking. The service was friendly and attentive, offering extra car tour services for guests. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the small town with a view of the amphitheatre. The dining was fine but not exceptional, and the freshly baked bread was a highlight.
The hotel provides a captivating view of the amphitheater, making it a unique experience. The service is warm and accommodating, but it might be affected by the understaffing. The location is excellent, offering a close proximity to various attractions. However, the dining options are quite basic and could be improved. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for enhancement.
