Staff were friendly and helpful and recommended local restaurant ( Bobos)which we went to 5 nights! The hotel is nicely decorated with marble floors in main rooms, and parquet ones in bedrooms and is being extended. Luxury chandeliers and stucco ceilings give it class. The beds were comfortable.Shower space is small but adequate. Dining room small so continental breakfast quite intimate! It is quieter at the back but double glazing helps keep traffic noise down. Turn right from hotel and make your way to stops for Trams 5 & 14 plus bus 105 which pass byand go straight to Train and bus Termini where you can access all buses to main sites. It is not in the main tourist sites so eating out was less expensive Turn left from hotel and the old roman ruin of Porta Maggiore was close by with more cafes etc. Don't be put off by graffiti, it is everywhere and we walked about day and night with no problems,

We got sent to this hotel after booking elsewhere with Air Miles only to find that the hotel was full, so it wasn't our first choice by any means. I'm female and was travelling alone and wasn't pleased when I turned up at check-in time after a 12 hour trip and was turned away because the room wasn't ready - I ended up wandering around with my case for an hour and a half.
Having finally got to the room I closed the blinds and tried to get a nap but totally failed due to the considerable noise coming from the workmen nearby which was not mentioned when I checked in. When I did finally get to sleep, the door entry system kept crackling and eventually exploded in flames! So I had to quickly get dressed and run around trying to find someone to have a look. I spent the night in the room without a working card lock and without much confidence in the electrics either.
The room and ensuite were both clean, comfortable and nicely done out but extremely small; there was barely enough room to walk around the bed. Full-length windows facing the incredible gardens out back were a nice touch though I would have preferred a bit of space to unpack.
Having said that, the staff were polite and helpful, and spoke good English which was a relief.

We had our doubts. But when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were very helpful. Accomodation though small was excellent, very clean, wardrobe/drawer space limited, no tea making facilities in the room, but asked the staff about making a cuppa for us,no problem. Breakfast continental, adequate choice.
There was some refurbishment going on during our stay, but this did not intefere in anyway. Good location for all the usual tourist attractions.

This hotel was more than adorable and spotless to boot. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cons
- There were no tissues – the only thing around was pretty poor toilet paper.
- No free internet – it costs a whopping 7 Euros for 3 hours, but was wireless.
- There was construction right outside the window. It didn’t really affect anything, it was just noisy and started at 7:00 in the morning. Perhaps they’re putting in a pool.
- The nighttime front desk clerk was not so good – he was okay with English but told us to “figure out restaurant locations ourselves”.
- Be prepared – the rooms are small, even for European rooms. But just enough room for two suitcases.
- The hotel doesn’t have a dishwasher, so the poor woman attending the breakfast area had to do all the dishes by hand, which meant at points there were no bowls, or no spoons, or knives, or coffee cups…
- No washcloths; as per usual of all European hotels.

Pros
- Breakfast was free! At least I think it was free; we never quite figured out where to pay for it or how to put it on our bill, so we’re only assuming. It was limited in choice, but still good for free – cereals (good granola, and something resembling cocoa puffs), baked goods, juice and coffee maker coffee.
- Could control your own heat/air conditioning - perfect! Also could open the windows and adjust the shutters too. Made you feel like a true Roman.
- Pretty close the Colosseum, about a 15 minute walk.
- The daytime front desk clerk was great – he knew great English and always had a smile on his face.
- The room was beautifully decorated! From what I read, all the rooms are immaculate, but room 401 was superb. Also, because the hotel is so new, the rooms were spotless and clean!
- Very close the train station, which made it very convenient to take the train to Napoli and Firenze!
- For as small as the room is, it had a fridge! Very convenient for storing some cheese bought at the supermarket.
- Super new elevator – you know it’s new because it has blue LEDs for the buttons. Though, the button for the downstairs floor where you eat breakfast has a down arrow when it should be an up arrow. Not sure if that’s a bad sign or not.

Tips
- Water is a must, but don’t be ripped off by the convenience store clerk down the street – walk just a bit further to your right and across the street you’ll find a very reasonably priced supermarket, where you can buy 6 packs of water for 2 Euros! Remember to get “naturale” water – the other stuff has bubbles, blech.
- There are two or three good restaurants, even if the hotel doesn’t know about them (they only recommend the one, it’s okay, but I’m not sure why.) Turn right out of the front door and go to the first intersection with traffic lights and turn right. Aim to eat dinner around 8 or later, if you want to be a true Roman. And buy a ½ litre of wine – you can’t beat the price!
- Buy a Roma Pass in the airport, which gives you free transportation for 3 days and entrances for free into two museums or archeological sites (great for skipping the lines too, just that alone is worth it!)
