Hotel Residenza Al Saraceno (Rome, Italy)

This accommodation was a hit with reviewers for its central location offering easy pedestrian access to the Trevi Fountain, which is one block away. Guests also found the Spanish Steps, Pantheon and Piazza Navona to be within easy walking distance. Being serviced apartments and not a hotel, guests liked having a supermarket, café and dining options on the doorstep. Taxi ranks, bus stops and metro stations were also conveniently close by. Guests mostly found the location to be quite tranquil for the city center.

This accommodation was often described by reviewers as feeling like a home from home. Many thought it was bright, clean, spacious and well-appointed with comfortable branded beds and modern fittings. Guests liked the independence of the serviced apartment format, which gave them the flexibility to eat in, cook or dine out.

Most reviewers reported a friendly welcome from helpful staff who happily shared their local knowledge.

Occasional street noise, including the sound of supermarket delivery vehicles, kept a few light sleepers awake as did the sound of people pacing in the corridors, which was sometimes audible in the rooms. A few reviewers also felt the curtains didn’t block out light well enough.

Some reports indicated occasional frustrations with the free Wi-Fi service in the rooms.

A few issues like mold in the bathroom, light bulbs that needed replacement and what some called tired-looking furniture took the shine off this upscale accommodation for some visitors. The old-fashioned elevator posed occasional problems due to its limited capacity. While most guests enjoyed their stay, some felt it was on the expensive side compared to other Roman accommodation of a similar standard.
