The shower had mold in it, the ceiling above bed had mold, the shower did not drain, at the end of a quick shower there was 2 inches of standing water in it. The TV had no stations. The walls were beat up, if there was something else available we would have left. The area is cute around it.

Il y avait une forte odeur d’humidité dans la chambre. La personne qui nous a donné les codes d’accès ne parlait pas anglais. Difficile d’avoir des informations. La douche n’était pas propre et elle avait un faible débit d’eau. Impossible de se laver les cheveux. Le siège de toilette était brisé. Peu d’insonorisation. Nous entendons le cadran de la chambre voisine.

the bed is very dirty, old and torn. bed linen and towels were not washed properly, caused an allergy. the entire apartment is old and requires repair. the shower in the bathroom barely works and there is mold. At 6 in the morning, the workers are banging on the door as they vacuum the premises. every day someone comes in and cleans the room without asking. we were not happy.

Honestly, if you’re thinking about booking, think again… we were in room 1. As soon as we walked in the room, the smell of mould hit you worse than stepping off a plane and the heat slapping you in the face. The smell was so over whelming! At first I couldn’t see any, and I looked everywhere! I opened the windows and went out for a few hours hoping the smell would go. When I came back the mould was starting to become visible, it must have been wiped down before we got there. I could barely sleep the smell was so over powering. Day 2 I cried and really didn’t want to go back.. the mould was starting to show and it was everywhere! I tried reaching out to the property for a refund so we could afford to book another hotel, but they ignored my messages and we had no choice but to stay. I bought our own cleaning products, LOTS of air freshener and kept the windows open and all times with the bathroom door shut. This slightly helped but honestly was the worse hotel I’ve ever stayed in! We spend as little time as possible in the room. The only good thing was location wise - around 20 minute walk to most things. If you’re reading this Popolo - I want a refund!!!

The location was good and quiet, but the facility was not. We arrived in our room to find a broken toilet seat, a ceiling pendant light hanging only by a screw, and a shower panel in poor condition. Hope they fix before someone else use it.

La chambre était normale de premier abord. Cependant beaucoup de problèmes. - Poubelle pas vidée - Serviettes qui sentent le vinaigre - La douche qui fuit - La cuvette qui se détache des toilettes - Le cuir du lit qui s’effrite -Le matelas beaucoup trop mou -Absence de rideaux occultants - Gérant pas disponible au téléphone le soir -Les lumières qui ne fonctionnent pas toutes - Un seul oreiller est confortable sur les 3 dispos - Égouts bouchés, on patauge quand on se douche

Non volevo lasciare alcuna recensione ma siccome insistono con le email, mi hanno costretto. Tutto bellissimo codici sottocodici per entrare ma arrivi all'interno e il castello casca in un istante (almeno per quanto riguarda la stanza 4). Umidità a grappolo e cattivo odore, prese sflilate, buste anti umiditò nell'armadio pronte a bagnare tutto, coperte macchiate. Per una notte (10 ore) si può soprassedere visto il prezzo.

Det har intet med et hotel at gøre, men nærmere privatudlejlning. Der var ikke så nemt at finde, og der var ingen reception. Værelset var meget slidt generelt, og fler ting i lejligheden var defekte. Det var dyrt i forhold til stand og beliggenhed.

È stata difficile da trovare ma grazie alla receptionist disponibilissima ce l’abbiamo fatta. Molto comodo il check in con i codici. Stanza non grandissima ma comunque carina. Durante la notte abbiamo sentito bambini piangere e la porta sbattere. A parte questo il letto era comodo e abbiamo dormito bene. La doccia però era rotta.

There is no staff, no reception. You have to wait in the street by the door, and contact them by WhatsApp! Finally they give you code to get into the building. This is not a hotel, very unusual. I have never had a bad experience like this. We were assigned room #3, very very small, almost impossible to take a shower. The area for taking shower is very very small. It is around. 24 X 14 !?! They made the bed, and changed the towels daily however the container for soap was empty and never was filled!?!?! Overall very bad experience, 3 uncomfortable night. Very very uncomfortable shower.

This is a good property if you are traveling on a budget. Convenient location and about 8min walk to Metro and 20min walk to Trevi Fountain. Faculties in room a bit run down and really just a place to sleep for the night. They were kind enough for me to leave my suitcase there after Check-out to explore the city, which was a great plus. You do not meet anybody, as not a normal hotel; they will send you codes of how to gain access to the rooms etc, so no room key. So need to have WhatsApp.

It was a nice hotel. The room was small but neat and had everything we needed. We got the code to enter the hotel by text message which worked really well. There is a bus stop around the corner which makes it really easy to get around. The area feels safe to walk around also late at night. I'll definitely come back next time I go to Rome.

First this is an apartment building with a section for rooms to rent. We arrived and there was no one to greet us. One of the residents had to contact the owner since they were not answering our calls. We finally get into our room, which was adequate. The next day we arrive back to our room and the code to get in was changed. Once again, the owner was not responding to anyone’s calls. The location isn’t ideal and the room was small but for the price that’s expected. The service however was inexcusable.

We got lucky and another person staying there let us inside so we could call for a check-in. Without them, who knows how long we'd be stuck outside. The area around is sketchy AF but that's not their fault, just be aware. The room was fine, did the job and had met our needs. The room was in need of some basic repairs but nothjng major.

I can't believe Hotels.com actually lists this hotel. Take it off the website. Service is non-existent. Someone else stated that there is no reception. This is still true. There was a lady next door, spoke no English, that gave us the code to the "what" was the hotel. There are 5 rooms, no way to tell which is yours as there's no one to greet you. A cleaning lady came in a few hours later, again spoke no English. She contacted the owner and got us into the correct room. After we had the right room, the stay was pleasant.

The staff were unprofessional. The codes to my room were shared with a taxi driver because it's free to send to the taxi driver's phone rather than sending the codes to my phone because they will be charged. Hence I could not stay in the hotel my first night.

There was a paper on door to the room with 2 phone numbers to call. No one answered. 3 of us tried several times. We had to quickly find another room for 1 night elsewhere and paid double. We could not get into room. Days later in e-mail I received info with code to get in. MAD!! They could have sent it days in advance. After my 16 day Italy trip aI will fight this charge. It was not even a hotel. It was someone renting out their room and they called it a hotel
