The check in was smooth and easy, they even had croissants waiting for us that day and each morning! It is near an Irish pub so you can hear some street noise at night. The bed was kind of creaky. It is an older building so it smelled old and things seemed a little outdated. No lift, so be prepared to bring luggage up. The location was close to the Colosseum and public transportation, which was very nice for traveling around Rome!
