My stay at Hotel Vespasiano was fantastic overall. The service from the staff, especially Fulvia at the front desk, was very nice, adding a personal touch to my experience. I enjoyed a generous breakfast each morning, but I did encounter an issue with the king-size bed not being quite long enough for me. Despite that, the charm and location of the hotel made up for it, and I'd definitely recommend it for a trip to Rome.
