Август у Санты Марии August at Santa Maria

We spent a great holiday at this hotel at the end of the summer. Without choosing on purpose, we found ourselves in the thick of the city's attractions. The windows of the room overlooked the white-walled church of Santa Maria Maggiore, near which the OpenTour buses stopped. Every morning we admired the view of the ancient city from the roof of the hotel, where breakfast was served (you can take the elevator). We got to the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Triton fountain and the main squares on foot in 10-15 minutes, when we got used to the narrow crooked streets of Rome.
The hotel staff was calm, but without courtesy. The main contingent of the hotel in August - quiet large German families. On the weekends, noisy Italians from the provinces can come. They feel at home, smoke at meals and are not shy about expressing their emotions out loud.
The double room was cool and spacious enough (three windows with shutters), no bath, but with a shower and bidet. Cleaning was carried out every day, shampoo was added to small bottles on the mirror, the hair dryer worked, but ran out of steam quickly and had to wait for it to cool down. Slippers were not provided, but the parquet on the floor did not cool the feet. The CRT TV played Baywatch every night in Italian. Our room was on the third floor at the end of a narrow corridor and no one bothered us during the whole holiday.

I would like to visit again this calm and a little old-fashioned hotel, located in the middle of a hot stone city.
