Shelter of Dreams

convenient location ample space
The hotel's location near the Cipro metro station was convenient. This allowed easy access to all the key sights around the city. Our upgraded room had ample space and cleanliness that added a touch of luxury to the stay (I genuinely enjoyed it!).
There was no coffee maker in the room. Morning coffee would have been a welcome addition.
Facilities

The hotel included inspirational indoor and outdoor spaces and comfort. The gym offered scheduled one-hour slots, but I never saw anyone use the facilities s. These amenities added much to the ease of my stay.
Dining

The on-site pizzeria offered perfect pizza, which I found enjoyable. Breakfast included fresh fruit and vegetables every day, but the choices remained consistent. (The breakfast was great, especially the pancakes!). The bars served lovely cocktails.
Location

The hotel is near the metro station Cipro. It is slightly outside the main tourist area, great for a quieter experience. It is within walking distance to the Vatican and close to local shops and restaurants.
