This was one of my favorite stays for our trip through Italy. The neighborhood was very quiet, yet it’s very convenient for the bus stop, taxis, and the best restaurants nearby. Valentina was lovely at check-in. What a lovely hotel.

We had an appointment to check in at 4:30pm. At 4:30pm, the door was locked. I rang the bell three times and no one answered. I stood in the cold rain outside the door and no one was there at the agreed upon appointed time.

Small Building
Palazzo Medusa is a nice little building located near a lot of the touristy areas of Rome. The location is great. The hotel itself is very small and cramped. The room that we stayed in was quite small and had one small window. The curtains over the window got stuck whenever they tried to be open. The room was very cramp and I am very happy we only stayed for one night. With two suit cases the space became even smaller.
With all this being said, it was a clean and well decorated room. I would recommend it for those traveling lightly and by themselves.
