Hotel Casa Valdese Roma

Charming, extremely helpful staff. Spotlessly clean. Totally peaceful & quiet in tranquil, tree-lined street which, given how noisy ROME is, is a true blessing. Near many places, monuments & sights of huge interest, in particular the Vatican & the Castello Sant’Angelo. The moral ethics of the place (based on mutual trust) make it feel doubly safe & secure:

with global warming, climate change & our awareness of the problems caused by waste, it seems wrong to have a huge coffee machine using capsules that are very bad for the environment, plastic cups in individual plastic wrappings, etc. Though this is the case almost everywhere, I trust the Casa Valdese (& everyone else) will find ecologically sound replacements for these. The plus was, of course, that their coffee was better than breakfast coffee usually is in Italy.

It was small and clean

Charged for three nights but only stayed one even though they were advised as soon as we were advised the cruise ship we were on had broken down in Barcelona and was not sailing to Rome. It's a cost I have had to bear through no fault of my own. Very disappointed.
