The hotel is great if you're planning to visit Il Tempio della Fortuna in Palestrina or this part of Lazio/Rome in general. Run by a local family for years. Very friendly and great food. Great location in the centre of town and perfect for bars and restaurants...and there are plenty of those around. Overall, a good stay, despite its condition.

The hotel is in desperate need of a refurbishment and needs to be brought into the 21st century.

very charming authentic Italian hotel. Staff is welcoming and super sweet. Nice location close to restaurants. The old city is absolutely amazing. Parking right outside if you get there early.

Beds and pillows are not comfortable, but after traveling in Italy it seems like the standard. also a bit noisy outside, but it’s Saturday in the middle of the city so what can you expect.

Helpful personal. Nice location in the very heart of the historical town center. Quiet room. Nice Italian breafast.

all was fine.

The welcome from the proprietress was very warm and helpful. The city has introduced new car access and parking restrictions, and directions ahead of time were clear and precise, although I needed a local interpreter. It would have been helpful to have these in English on the website. Parking outside the hotel is no longer free, and the manager was immediately alert and helpful in arranging where to park, and even getting patrons at a nearby bar to move so I could park overnight before retiring for the night. The hotel and room were meticulously clean. The furnishings, decor and equipment in the hotel are old-fashioned, but, although some might look for something more contemporary and updated, I found this to be part of its traditional charm. I very much appreciated the opportunity for a bath, and not just showering.

I had no idea there was WiFi until I discovered the signal on my last night, after going to bed. Air-conditioning is advertised, but I could not get it to work. I was obliged to sleep the three nights with the windows open, but, since there are three bars on the piazza, even those socialising outside quietly were a disturbance until 1am and again at 3am. I found the restaurant service, and again on departure in the mornings, very subdued and even unfriendly - most unusual in Italy, where I have been visiting for work and leisure for 35 years, and a contrast to the proprietress. After dinner one evening, after I had seen my guest to his car, I returned and asked for a grappa. I was very surprised indeed that Euros 20 was added to my bill for this. I needed to stay in the area and this is the only hotel, and, while I liked it, the man overseeing and serving in the restaurant could have offered a happier and more hospitable welcome.
