We booked this hotel through expedia, 2 adults 2 children. The metro is not 5 mins away but a good 15 min walk and with suitcases and bags was awfull. On arrival we were given a map of Rome and shown to our room. The hotel is dark, dirty and in much need of an renovation. Our room had the shutters down so no natural sunlight.The beds were like sleeping on concrete and the air con did not work. Which considering it was over 70 degrees was a nightmere. The staff were not pariculary helpfull. The breakfast was vile. Dirty tables,food left in a stainless steel food warmer for what looked like hours. Very little choice of food. The local attractions are only reachable via metro,unless you are prepared to walk for miles and miles or be ripped off in a taxi. The Vatacin is a good 25 min walk to the main entrance, the Vatican museum is approx 10 min walk away. I would never stay in this hotel again, its shabby,dirty and in a poor location, in the middle of a residental area. We had a view of a football court and blocks of flats. I would never recommend this hotel and it should not be classed as 4 star but 2 star would be better suited. Worst hotel I have ever stayed in Europe.

I booked this hotel via a pre-paid web site and admit the price was good compared to most hotels in Rome. But, it was a big mistake, one I won't soon make again. I was quite disappointed that it was billed as a 4-star hotel on the site. I don't think I would give it more than 2 stars personally. The room was dark, very outdated and dirty. The shower curtain was stained and there were scuff marks all over the tub. The carpet was filthy and shabby. The bed spread was old and outdated. The TV looked to be from the 80s.

This hotel is badly in need of a renovation and amenity facelift. The breakfast was ok. The staff didn't change the stained tableclothes between uses. The only highpoint from my point of view was the location. It was very close to the Vatican and a short walk to the Metro. However, I would not stay there again.

Just arrived back home from a 4 nights vacation in rome, we stayed at the Nova Domus hotel and suites, and I must say that I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews on this site, but we were plesantly surprised, the hotel was nice and not at all dirty as I read some one said. The staff was all very sweet and helpfull, and the rooms nice.
The only thing to put a finger on is the location, it is ok close to the metro and the vatican, and we had no problem getting around to the sights, but the next time I go to Rome I will choose a hotel closer to the Termini or Piazza Navona.
But all in all a good hotel I would recomend if you have no problem that it is a good walk from most of the sights.
(btw. sorry for my poor english, I am from Denmark and english is not my native language)

It was extemely dirty and the staff at the front desk was very prejudice against american citizens. I was yelled at because my suitcase hit the stairs and made a loud noise. I explained to the man at the front desk that the elavator was not working and I had to take the stairs with my two suitcases and he made many hand gestures at me. I did notice how nice he was to French and Italian citizens. The walls and floors in the Resturant had dirt and red sauce all over them. Staying at this hotel ruined my trip to Rome. I will never go to Italy again.
