ALL COMFORT ASTORIA PALACE, Rome

The hotel occupies the top floor of a 4-storey building in a residential, non-touristy neighbourhood. Policlinico Metro is a 2-minute walk, providing direct service to Termini station (2 stops), the Colosseum (4 stops), and onward connections. Numerous bus routes also serve the area without needing transfers. The quiet street is safe at night, with several authentic trattorias, bars, a supermarket, and a park within a 5-minute walk. The property is well-suited for visiting La Sapienza University and the Policlinico hospital. Those arriving from Fiumicino Airport should budget approximately €48 for a standard taxi transfer.

All rooms include a private bathroom (en suite or external), except one double room sold with a shared bathroom on the same floor. Standard rooms offer an inner courtyard view, while others include a private terrace with garden views. Room sizes are described as spacious enough for three people, with a large desk suitable for working. The beds and pillows are comfortable, and daily housekeeping is provided. Rooms away from the road are notably quiet, and the air conditioning works effectively. Some rooms feature a balcony or terrace, but none have a separate balcony - rooms sold as 'with terrace' have direct access to a furnished outdoor area. The one double room with a terrace is only reachable via stairs.

Breakfast costs €6 per person and includes orange juice, yoghurt, fresh seasonal fruit, cake, biscuits, sliced bread, rusks, a choice of jam, Nutella, and whole-grain bread. Hot drinks (coffee, cappuccino, tea, hot chocolate) are prepared on demand. Gluten-free alternatives are available when requested at the time of booking. The breakfast is served in a cosy indoor lounge during cooler months, or on the terrace in summer, creating a pleasant start to the day. There is no restaurant on site, but guests can order breakfast in the room, and drinks (wine/champagne and fruit) are available for an additional charge. The surrounding area offers many authentic local eateries within a short walk.
