This hotel is well placed for evening meal/drinks in the evening without having to walk far, a bonus after walking miles all day seeing the sights! Our room was large with wardrobe, drawer space and comfy large bed! The bathroom was also huge but with tiny shower in the corner - odd! Like other reviews we had terrible problems with the key - seems to be no easy way to unlock the door - but eventually it opens! Getting out of the room is easy tho! Breakfast although adequate to break the fast, was uninspiring, hard bread, ready prepacked toasts, meat, cheese, apples, yogurt and cake/ tarts. You get one hot drink per person and then have to pay 3 euros for a second cup! One morning we happened to go down for breakfast after a large group of Americans -the tables were not cleared, we had to clear our own space - the butter had run out and so had all the crockery and the waitress could not have cared less! We eventually found two saucers to eat our meagre breakfast of remains on!! The roof terrace was deserted and everything put away - could have be really nice but lacked any TLC! However we enjoyed our stay and the hotel, it is well placed for all sight seeing - easy stroll to the number 8 tram which connects with many buses! Get your self a Roma travel card (23 Euros from tourist hut by no 8 tram stop) which gives unlimited travel on all transport for 3 days and 2 visits to museums (Colesseum) etc jumping the queues - well worth it! After long days walking the streets of Rome this hotel is well placed and a stones throw from a wide selection of bars and restaurants - just what you need!

I stayed one night in a single room, 212, which was very small. The key to the room was ridiculously difficult to use, giving me the constant feeling that I would be locked out or locked in, which I often was for a few minutes while I struggled to hold and turn the key just right to get it to work. The shower doors wouldn't close fully, so water got all over the bathroom floor. The TV had only a few stations. The hallways were dark and depressing. I paid 80 Euros for the rooms and was told this was a "reduced rate" but to me it felt like legal robbery.

The front desk guys appeared rather put-out to provide help or answer questions. Further, after I'd paid my bill, there was later confusion over whether it was paid. I double-checked a couple hours after paying to make sure the computer records reflected my payment, as I did not get a feeling of confidence in the competence of the front desk guys. Sure enough, there was confusion, which I had to resolve.

Apart from the good location and the breakfast, which was decent and the breakfast attendant woman very nice, this hotel is not recommended. They even have the audacity to charge for internet use. Any hotel worth recommendation offers free internet, if not free WiFi, to its guests in the year 2009.

We recently stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in a quad with our daughter and son-in-law. Two of the beds were fold aways and not particularly comfortable. One bed stuck out far into the room, obstructing access to the bathroom, and we had to be very cautious going to the bathroom at night. There was plenty of street noise as we faced the street even though we requested a quieter room overlooking the courtyard and our reservations were made months in advance. The room was spare and clean. Definitely no frills. The breakfast lady was very nice, as was the housekeeper. The front staff (with the exception of one young man) were downright unhelpful, bordering on surly. The customer service stood in stark contrast to our experience in Florence at the Hotel Giglio, where the customer service was excellent. The staff was good, however, in the reservation process, promptly responding to requests and some changes. All of these negatives aside, we loved the Trastevere section of Rome where this hotel is located. It felt like a neighborhood and a bit of an oasis in bustling Rome. I would recommend this hotel with some reservation. If you need no or very little help from the staff (they did call a taxi for us), this hotel was clean and felt safe. It was also one of the lesser expensive places we could find. It essentially had a hostel feel to it at Euro 210 per night for a quad. Expensive for what we got, but Rome is expensive.

We stayed here for 3 nights during our 5 night stay in Rome. The location of this hotel is perfect if you want to be centrally located and in a part of Rome that is known for it's nightlife. During the day the are seems quite quiet and abandoned but as soon as the sun goes down, it's full of restaurants and bars.

You can pretty much walk everywhere from this hotel and it's very easy to catch the tram and then bus to the colloseum.

The room was very large as was the bathroom, the only odd thing is the bathroom was large but the shower was very tiny, minor detail though. The decor was a little dated but my expectations are not high throughout Europe it too is a minor detail.

Free wifi in the lobby and breakfast included is always a plus too!
