Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel lists no parking facilities, so plan for public transport or nearby garages if you drive.
- Check-in at separate address — Check-in takes place at Via Merulana 286, not the main Piazza address—allow a few extra minutes to get oriented.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, so late arrivals need to coordinate ahead.
- Pets not allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, which may matter for travellers with animals.
