Ethics

1. We provide equal opportunities to everyone who wishes to become part of our team. We do not discriminate based on age, gender, origin, religion, or disability. On the contrary, diversity is welcomed, enriches us, and gives us greater human resources to better serve our guests.
2. All members of our team are legally insured and receive working schedules that allow for a healthier balance between work and leisure, within a safe environment.
3. We promote human relationships through a higher employee-to-guest ratio, allowing more time for meaningful social interactions to take place.
4. At Hostal Rom, we allocate 1% of online reservations made through this website to NGOs.

We encourage our guests to continue sending us feedback about our services, as well as our sustainable practices, so that we can continue improving. All of the above ultimately represents progress for all of us.
