Locanda del Sole Luxury Suite Rome — Hotel in Rome

First of all this so named luxury suite is located out of nowhere.||Here is no shopping area in the neighborhood.||How can you order a taxi here when there is no staff? ||Upon arrival at this old house we saw a small sign: " Locanda del Sole. Luxury suite Roma."||With a code you can open the door to enter the house. ||There is no motion detector. You need to search for the light switch.||There is no elevator. You can carry your heavy luggage up the stairs to reach the the so named luxury suite.||The keycard for the room was laying on the korridor. So every person can take the keycard to enter the room. ||What will happen when some things will be taken out of the rooms from a third party and you will be kept responsible?||Inside the small apartment the furniture or home decor is simple and cheap.||The water fittings in the bathroom and especially in the shower cabin were not working correct and in addition difficult to handle!||The floor was not cleaned. Sand was under our feet.||Even the toilet was not cleaned in a correct way.||The small apartment (about 15 sqm) is located directly at a narrow street.||When you open the small window you can listen to the street noise. The house opposite is less than 20 meter away.||From that house people can look directly into our apartment which is called " Butterfly".||The AC was not working.||If you do not want to bee seen by the opposite living people you need to close the shutters. ||This is also the best solution if you feel disturbed by the street noise.||But then you need to sit in a quite dark room. ||The floor is made out of dark laminat.|The wardrobe is small. The flat screen TV is small. ||With other words: I have not seen any luxury items at all!||Breakfast is self service. ||When I wanted to check out I needed to call (phone call) the lady who is caring about the renters.||Although American Express cards will be displayed on the office door it was not accepted.||The Wifi-Password which is displayed in the room is not working anymore.|The hand written password which we have received was containing a sign which was unknown for us.||The brreakfast was a nightmare! Only things out of plastic papers. No real coffee. Even the toaster was not working.||The hoover was parked on the floor in the...

We spent 6 nights at this lovely B&B. From our arrival to departure the two brothers who run this place were so friendly and hospitable. They organised a taxi from Ciampino airport which took out all the stress of either getting a bus or negotiating with the taxi drivers. On arrival, Pierluigi welcomed us and took our cases up the few flights of stairs. We then met Marco who explained everything to us including the breakfast area which has a coffee/hot water (for tea) machine, cakes, biscuits and lots of other nice touches. We were given keys for the building entrance doors and a card for entry into Locanda Del Sol and our room, so it's a very secure place.||||We stayed in the Butterfly room (one of 3 rooms) which was tastefully decorated and overlooks Via Della Scrofa. It has a great extra large bed, a fridge stocked with bottles of water (which we also used to store wine and cheese!) and a wardrobe with a security safe. The bathroom was bright and airy and had a shower and a lovely large sink. ||||For breakfast you can either do it yourself in the kitchen area or use a small cafe 2 minutes walk away for which we were given cards to use to get whatever you wanted free.||||The location is excellent, right in heart of Rome. It's about a 5 minute walk to Piazza Navona and just a little longer to the Pantheon. The Vatican is about a 20 minute stroll. The famous Alfredo restaurant is just across the road.||||All in all we had a fantastic time and will certainly be coming back next year.||||Thank you Marco...

My husband and I stayed here for three nights at the end of December. ||||Pros:||Great location. A 5 - 10 minute walk from the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, etc.||||Clean.||||Decent Wifi.||||Owners kept in good connection via WhatsApp (never saw them on the property, including at Check-in though)||||Cons:||The smallest room I've ever seen (and yes, I've stayed all over Europe, including Rome). The shower was IMPOSSIBLE to shave your legs in or really even move.||||Four TV channels, one having the occasional English. Yes, I know you aren't here to watch TV, but watching a half hour before bed can be nice.||||Blatant lies about services. Their web site says you receive breakfast off-site and and my booking said breakfast included. When I asked them on WhatsApp where we could find breakfast, they said they don't offer it. They couldn't explain why my booking confirmation said that and told me the web site was an old page from old owners (yet where their new page is, I don't know). They did offer to give us cereal, but by the time we went back and forth I didn't want to bother. The point wasn't so much that we didn't get the breakfast, it was more that they kept acting like I was crazy for thinking we should get it.||||||Overall, I would NOT stay at or recommend the "Luxury" Locanda Del Sole. We had friends staying at an AirBNB right down the road that was MUCH MUCH nicer and bigger for barely more than...
