My stay at Hotel Saint John was pleasant overall, with a clean and cozy environment and friendly staff. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to major attractions like the Colosseum, but the breakfast could use more variety. While the room was comfortable, the view was lacking and the shower temperature was inconsistent at times.

My stay at Hotel Saint John had its ups and downs. The location was a definite highlight, being close to the metro and within walking distance of the Colosseum. However, I found my room to be somewhat noisy and smaller than expected, which made it less comfortable. The breakfast provided was decent, but not very varied. Overall, it was a fair value for the price, although it didn't quite feel like a four-star experience.
