My husband and I planned to stay here for the first night of our ten day vacation in Italy. Only spending one night in Rome, we really wanted to stay at a hotel that had a room with a balcony, so we could experience the sounds of the city and sleep with the balcony doors open to enjoy the beautiful mediterranean air at night. And that’s exactly why we choose the Corso Grand Suite. However, things weren’t as expected....
After checking in, we excitedly entered our room and headed straight to the balcony. As we parted the curtains in front of the balcony door, what we found was construction, scaffolding, and a cover over the front of the entire building...the balcony didn’t exist. We got zero breeze and zero views...to say we were disappointed was an understatement.
Still, the hotel itself is in a great location, convenient to all of the attractions in Rome. The room was clean and the bathroom was newly renovated, so definitely suitable for our needs.
However, if you’re like us and looking to book here for the balcony/views, definitely call before arriving to ensure the construction has been finished. We understand construction happens we just wished it had been handled better. We should’ve been told prior to arrival, or at least at check in, or better yet, when we mentioned our disappointment to the owner he could’ve acted like he cared. Instead he told us, this was communicated to you, when in fact it definitely wasn’t.
