My sister and I stayed here for two nights and found it to be clean and convenient to the major sights. About two blocks down on the same side of the street was a wonderful little restaurant I would highly recommend. I would stay here again given the price, or you could pay three times as much and get the Hilton.

We had three days at this hotel in Oct 2006.

Yes, the room was small, but the accomodation was very comfortable, with everything clean and tidy. It is a typical 3 star hotel in Rome, and I would recommend it as such. The staff were extremely helpful with info for tourists, and the location of the hotel was quiet, yet very convenient to rail and bus transport.

Two typically Italian restaurants were avail within the same block, and the food was excellent, and the prices great. A pharmacia, and supermarket were within 5 mins walk.

Overall, an excellent, well priced place to stay.

I don't get all the other people that complain about this hotel: they must be little princes and princesses who expect 5 star service for only 2 star price. If you are not as spoiled as most of these respondents below, you will find this hotel a good deal for it's reasonable price. The room is small, but hey: you're in Rome! You don't need to stay in your room all day! I do have to admit that the bed is a little short (my boyfriend is almost 2 meters tall and was kind of sticking out of it). But the room and the bathroom are clean, airconditioned and not noisy at all. The breakfast is pretty good for Roman standard: The Romans themselves don't eat a lot of breakfast anyway (just some coffee and maybe a croissant).
Overall, I think that if you are not spoiled and do not demand luxury on you trip to Rome, this is a good place at an excellent location for a reasonable price!

My wife and I spent four nights in this Hotel in June, 2006. We were booked into the hotel by our travel agency in Holand where we live. The reviews of the hotel were enough to scare us off, but we had already paid for the Hotel and there was little we could do. Overall the Hotel was not that nice, but not nearly as bad as we had feared. The rooms were small, and the bathroom very foolishly laid out. The toilet was next to the wall, and in front of the sink, so that if you bent over, you hit your head on the sink. You had to sit sideways on the toilet when you used it. We had the breakfast included at the hotel, but it was so bad that we skipped it two of the four days we were there. The "coffee" they served was shockingly bad. Imagine . . . really bad coffee in Italy. What a dissapointment. The outdoor seating area that they feature prominently in their brochure was closed for renovations and we ate our breakfast in their very cheesey dining room.

Our bed was very bad, and we had to put the mattress on the floor in order to sleep - this worked out well for us, but was a pain in the neck to do every evening. The Hotel staff was helpful but not overly friendly - we didn't feel that we were made to feel welcome. If we could have changed our hotel, we would have.

One good thing about this hotel was its location. A few minutes walk from the nearest Metro stop, and about a 10 minute walk from the "terminus" or central bus/metro station. This made getting around Rome fairly easy. There were probably 20 hotels within a five minute walk of our hotel, all of them pretty much the same style. There were a few nice ones but they were very pricy. If you are spending a lot of money on a trip to Rome, it would be a shame to have to stay in a mediocre hotel such as this one. Bite the bullett and stay at a Hilton.

Overall, I would suggest you avoid this hotel, but if you have already paid and can't cancel, it is a tolorable place to stay.
