We booked this hotel after arriving in Rome. The hotel we reserved was near the train station and not as close to the sights as we would have liked. After a while, we realized why this hotel had vacancies in the middle of the busy tourist season. We had two rooms for 4 nights,so we spent a considerable amout. The rooms are small, but very clean. However, someone staying at the hotel (or perhaps one of the staff) smoked (there is a new law in Italy that no smoking is allowed inside hotels). Our entire floor reaked of cigarette smoke that definately infiltrated our room. We complained numerous times but the staff just insisted that there was no smoking allowed in Italy's hotels. The night clerk just dismissed this and told us to talk to the morning staff. Because we wanted two adjacent rooms, we did not request a change. Also, our rooms were in the back of the hotel which backs up to a small alley with a bar. This bar is obviously a favorite spot for tourists,because it was so loud from about 11pm-2am every night that we could not sleep. It was nice that breakfast was included, but it was mediocre at best. The coffee was instant from a machine and was not very good (although the staff would bring fresh coffee (Italian) on request. The orange juice was really artificial, but the pastries were good. They did not provide fresh fruit for breakfast. The location was the hotel's best feature. We were able to walk to all of the major sights; no need to board one of the packed buses! Definately do not stay at this hotel; it is not worthy of its 4-star rating. With a few changes, they could improve.
