“This hotel strikes me as a particularly appealing base in Rome, especially for those keen to explore on foot. Its location close to the Spanish Steps and other major sights means you're immediately immersed in the city's vibrant atmosphere, and the self-catering apartments offer an extra layer of independence and comfort. It's a place that seems to blend historical charm with modern convenience quite seamlessly.”
