This will be a shorter review as I missed breakfast due to leaving for the airport early in the morning (which meant that I picked points as my welcome gift). Regardless, I preferred this property far more than the similarly-designed Pantheon Iconic as it was a better hotel and significantly cheaper. Frankly, the location didn't bother me at all - a bit more walking in Rome is not the worst thing. Here are my pros, cons, and photos:

Pros:
  • Upgraded to a Deluxe King which ended up being a corner room (I had seen a Junior Suite upgrade show up at some point, but the property ended up as sold out except for 1 room by the time of check-in)
  • View was pretty - nice surroundings
  • The bed was not uncomfortable - decent mattress (seemed like two twin pushed tightly together), the two small pillows were plush, but the covers needed to be thicker
  • Shower pressure was really good (similar shower head to Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain)
  • Italian pastries left in my room
  • Internet TV OS did have YouTube
  • Service was quite friendly - personable
  • Offered late checkout proactively, which I did not need
  • Welcome gift of prosecco offered at the bar
  • Nice Salvatore Ferragamo toiletries
Cons:
  • Bed covers need to be thicker (though, I did see a couple of extra blankets in the room)
  • Wi-Fi performance could be improved
  • There seemed to be a balcony, but no way to open the window to reach it (or I'm just stupid)
Overall, I would recommend this property, especially as it is much cheaper than other options.
