The Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps are a 20-minute walk, and Saint Peter's Basilica is only 2 metro stops distant. The area has several restaurants and bars within 0.5 km - including Pizzeria Pianeta Pizza and Roxy Bar - making dining choices convenient.

The more spacious junior suites feature a bathtub (except one) and larger windows. A limited number of rooms include a balcony or an outdoor dining area. The atmosphere is bright and elegant, with parquet floors and light colours. The property is well-maintained and clean; rooms facing the street are quiet due to the residential location.
