This was very nice hotel near lots of good restaurants and tourist sights. We had a lot of fun at the roof deck bar (loved the negoni trio and limoncello spritz) and the bedroom and bathroom were nicely updated. The hotel offered a private pickup from airport for $75, which was very convenient. It was close to several bus, tram and subway lines, which made it very easy to get around!

Gorgeous boutique hotel. Walking distance to most tourist spots. Love the rooftop bar and restaurant. The continental breakfast has a good selection of foods including hot food like scrambled eggs and bacon. Some delicious pastries and cakes too, as well as the usual continental choices. The staff are exceptional. Super helpful and friendly.

The staff was very nice and attentive. The breakfast was okay but I think 25 euros is too much to pay. The room was very nice but there were mildew stains in the tub. My wife didn't want t relax in the tub because of the mildew.

Room was comfortable, not overly spacious but I had no plans to spend a lot of time there so it hasn't an issue. It was clean, comfy for sleeping and safe to leave my stuff.
Staff were all very pleasant and helpful.
Great location for sight seeing and enjoying a beautiful city.
Would definitely stay again.

Close to the train station but not too close. The hotel is also close to most sites, making it easy to walk nearly everywhere (we took the train to Vatican City). Staff were friendly we even got to check in early. Staff were very helpful with all our questions. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Loved everything I saw and experienced in the hotel. A special thanks to LOU, who helped me solve a medical crisis with her kindness and compassion. The room was perfect for me and my husband. Love the style of the hotel and the Lanvin amenities. The location is perfect.
