“The staff were incredibly helpful – I would have stayed longer. The room was well-equipped with a bidet, walk-in shower, and bath sheets, and the private bathroom was reasonably spacious. Being near attractions, cafés, supermarkets, and Termini was ideal. After a long day, I enjoyed a couple of drinks at Imperium Pub.”
