Based on other reviews, we booked a "tower" room. From the photos it looked like there was a separate tower building but not so. It turns out that a tower room means you have a terrace. It was okay but there is only a lattice partition between rooms which means you can see your neighbors and they can see. you. This hotel is in a predominately residential area with limited dining and shopping. The one advantage is that we could walk to the Metro and the Vatican. The breakfast buffet was good with plenty of options including cereal, yoghurt, breads, eggs, bacon, etc. The dinner dining however we were not impressed with. The dining room has 11 tables of which 3 were occupied and when we arrived just after 7:00 pm we asked if we could be seated. We were told "you need a reservation". So we went to reception to make a reservation for 7:05 and told that the dining room was booked and that the earliest reservation we could get was 7:30. You're kidding, right? Nope! Since we were also having trouble trying to work the TV remote, we went back to our room to wait for someone to come and help us. The person who showed up, didn't have a clue how to get us to the English channel we wanted so we said forget it and went down to dinner. The room is adequate but the hair dryer is old and the bathroom sink had hairline fractures which indicated its age. For the amount of money spent, I would suggest a hotel closer to the interior of Rome as taxis to and from venues were expensive.
