Pros
- Phenomenal location with views of the Colosseum (it's directly across the street)

- Rooms are modern and spacious for Europe
- Modern baths with gorgeous marble details and tub
- Some rooms have Colosseum views (they cost more)
- Flat-screen TVs and mini-bars
- Free Wi-Fi
- Use of nearby fitness center for a fee (discounted for guests)
Cons
- Guests can't control in-room AC, which is sometimes weak
- Located on busy road can mean rooms are noisy
- Aside from the Colosseum, the hotel is far from other sites and restaurants
Bottom Line
This luxury boutique hotel stands out for its incredible views -- guests can take in the nearby Colosseum from the rooftop restaurant and lounge, as well as from their rooms (these view rooms cost a bit more). The 16 rooms themselves are quite spacious for European standards and have modern decor, flat-screen TVs and dim lighting (that's almost too sexy to be practical). The rooftop restaurant, Aroma, offers fine dining and spectacular views -- and serves a free American-style buffet breakfast daily. All in all, it's a great option for luxury and romance -- but it's pricey, and aside from the Colosseum (which is across the street), there aren't many sights or restaurants in the immediate area.
