I would recommend this hotel. Originally I had no clue as to where I would stay in Rome - so I spent a lot of time using Expedia to find hotels and then Trip Advisor to check the reviews and Google maps to pinpoint the location. Combine this with availability and it was some task! Regardless of all that, we were welcomed by friendly and efficient staff - very pleasant, who spoke perfect English. The room was beautiful. There is a free safety deposit box at reception for your valuables. Full continental breakfast was available for fifteen euros and was indeed very satisfying. Everything was clean and in good condition. The elevator was the size of a small shower cubicle though! We loved the location - it is so easy to find and a wonderfully convenient place to explore the Eternal City! It really is very close to the Vatican - close to the Metro (about a 10 minute walk). After we left, they sent an email in response to us completing one of those feedback forms - offering us 20% discount should we or family/friends wish to return. The sitting room was a teeny bit 'tired' and the room was facing a busy main street so it was a little noisy - but that didn't stop me thoroughly enjoying my stay, nor did it make me lose any sleep. I had a wonderfully relaxing time and was thoroughly happy with the service, location, room rates, food, comfort and cleanliness.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Atlante Garden Hotel. It's perfectly situated just outside the city centre, only a block away from the Vatican itself. The building itself was beautiful. I very much liked the roof terras with the little garden. From there you had a view over the whole city and more specifically the 'Borgo de Sant'Angelo'.
I am very satisfied about the service, rendered by Atlante Garden. They were always very friendly and their English was remarkable.
The breakfast was very good too.

Since this was our first trip to Rome I have no frame of reference concerning the quality of the star ratings in Rome. But this is by no stretch of the imagination a 4 star hotel. The staff is pleasant enough but our room (235) was very dark with a slight aroma of mildew. The towels are ancient and the hotel provides the basic amenities, shampoo, a small bar of soap and some bath gel. Internet access is dial up. The breakfast is passable. There were at least 4 other couples staying there that are equally upset about their rooms and over all quality of this hotel. We all expected more since the description touted roof top views(maybe at the sister hotel the Atlante Star) but not here. Don't bother looking at the court yard since its a jumble of construction. Do yourself a favor and don't stay here.

Although I read many reviews highlighting that a 4star in Europe is not what you find in North America I was disappointed upon my arrival due to the small room and lack of water preasure / hot water - HOWEVER - the hotel upgraded us to a deluxe room that was much larger with a far better bathroom upon my request without hesitation. The location is wonderful with almost all attractions in walking distance or a short subway / taxi ride and it was very clean.
