“What struck me most was the sense of community fostered in this spot near Santa Maria Maggiore. Alessandro's personal touch, helping guests navigate and manage luggage, really stood out amid a city of grand hotels. For those seeking an intimate, grounded experience, it's a find-especially given its proximity to Termini Station and the surprisingly quiet rooms.”
