We had an exceptional stay at Corso Suite 107 - Rooms Wellness & Spa from March 21-25, 2025. The highlight of our stay was the outstanding hospitality provided by Mr. Emanuele Nanni, an excellent host who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. One notable gesture was allowing us to store our luggage after check-out, which was incredibly helpful. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring Rome. We highly recommend Corso Suite 107 for its excellent service, amenities, and ideal location. Thank you, Mr. Nanni for making our stay in Rome unforgettable!

    We had a great experience at this cozy mountain hotel, perfectly located in the middle of many hiking trails, far away from the hustle and bustle. The access road is restricted by a barrier gate (code-operated), which keeps the area quiet and free from unauthorized vehicles. Our room was clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom and shower. We dined exclusively at the hotel restaurant — the breakfasts and dinners were delicious. Every morning, we ordered a packed lunch for our hikes, which was very convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It was definitely the right choice for us, and I can highly recommend this hotel to other travelers looking for nature and tranquility.

The lady from the reception was extremely friendly and polite; the apartment we booked was more than we expected, very large, modern and clean with a very comfortable bed. We also ask for a late check-out and they were able to offer that, with no extra cost.

    We came for 'work' but had the opportunity also for some time to be the 'tourist'. This is my second time here but still feels that I should stay longer. The city is very pleasant, and calm so does the people here. The city offers a lot of historical places and parks to visit with excellent choice of transportations to choose from. Walking is even better because you may end up stopping at places along the way.

    Could have been better just one place so far as possible from NO SMOKERS people :( for STUPID smokers people :( :( Smokers people MUST HAVE A LIMITED ENCLOSED PLACE with ventilation in the direction of the wind They must smoke only themselves, not children, old people and those who have to breathe fresh air. Unfortunately, this is the PROBLEM OF THE WHOLE ROMANIA, a beautiful country with which God has blessed us and which we MUST take care of.

    Bear's Cave is amazingly beautiful. Definitely worth visiting. It takes about 30-45 minutes to visit and about 10-15 minutes to enter from buying the ticket to organizing the group. "La fluturi" Museum has free entry. It contains old traditional objects, local and imported. It's interesting to visit and doesn't take long.
