Plage du Marché

Overall a very nice stay at this hotel. I am new to Rome so it is difficult to say what the standard usually is but this hotel is in a quiet and safe part of town but still withing walking distance of very nice restaurants (Osteria Urbana is great!) and the Bologna Metro station. We decided to walk to the Colosseum which took us 45 minutes going past the Fontana di trevi. The view from the patio is very beautiful with lush vegetation and quite a few green parrots to keep one looking ever towards the sky. The breakfast buffet is OK, nothing spectacular but there is a wide range of alternatives. Staff is very helpful and always on hand and we enjoyed every interaction with them as they are so kind and warm. One negative for us was the lack of free bottled water which I do think should be standard in an hotel but that is perhaps just a personal thing for us.

Nice hotel with all sights within a few minutes walk. The staff was very nice and helpful throughout our visit. The rooms are fairly small but OK given the location. The breakfast was very good with a lot of different choices and not crowded. A nice bonus was the outside roof jacuzzi that you can use. Be aware that it will take a good 20 minutes to fill so make sure that you speak to the staff in advance. It was excellent to slide down in a nice cooling bath after a day walking in the Rome summer heat. We had a room facing the yard so we had no real view but in return it was very quiet so it was perfect for getting a good night's sleep.
