Adequate Stay at Central Hotel

central locationrooftop breakfastunstaffed barsmoke smell

The hotel is located centrally providing easy access to key attractions. Breakfast was offered on the rooftop terrace which gave nice views of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.

The lobby bar was not staffed limiting options for evening drinks at the hotel. The rooftop bar had a strong smoke smell making it unpleasant for nonsmokers.

nice viewnoisy cisternunaddressed request

The rooftop was a nice place for breakfast and dinner. The view was acceptable.

I was quite let down. My room felt very dated and old fashioned. I asked for a non-slip mat for the bath because i had broken my leg, but it never arrived. My toilet cistern dripped constantly, it was VERY noisy, and this also went unaddressed, impeding my sleep.
