Rome's Gloria Hotel

I booked a 1day-stay at Gloria Hotel thru online arrangements at Via Germanico in Rome. To my surprise, l was informed that my check-in was booked for the next day instead of my perceived present booking date. A gentleman from the Hotel (l think his name was Arminio?) was quite polite to inform me that l mistakenly booked a wrong date and that no vacancy was available that day. He was just so helpful and kind enough to accommodate leaving our 6 large, heavy baggages at the reception area until we could find a place to stay elsewhere in town on that day. The flight going up to the 4th floor is quite a challenge given the antiquated elevator that can only accommodate 2 persons or 1 person plus 1 large baggage at a time. Luckily, he was able to make arrangements with another Hotel on the 2nd floor (Nautilius Hotell), wherein a last room was available to accommodate our transfer. Although my booking was non-refundable for cancelation, l admit it was an oversight on my part, and that the hospitality and cordial treatment by Mr. Arminio was truly worth my commendation and gratitude to all the staff of Gloria Hotel. I will definitely book here again when l return to Rome soon. The location is perfect within a quiet neighborhood just proximal to the walls of the Vatican and nearby shopping! Grazie mille, Hotel Gloria. Dio vi benedica!

The room was cozy and had everything I needed. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome. Highly recommended!
