Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Dining options limited — The lowest category is Dining at 8.7, still decent but the weakest area — the shared kitchen suggests limited in-house food service.
- Walk to the Colosseum takes time — At about 25 minutes on foot, it's not the closest base to the main sights, so factor in the walk or use transport.
- Small room selection — Only two room types are offered — a double and a family double — so options for larger groups or those seeking more space are limited.
