Not easy to find but very close to the colisseum. Tiny rooms but clean.
Breakfast included but they could make more efforts (bad coffee, not natural orange juice)

Rooms were very small even by european standards, refrigerator had mold. We requested some ice and were told ice is not available !! Location is good, you can walk to the Coliseum and Forum. Would not stay there again.

Hotel Edera June 7th to 11th 2007
A very comfortable small hotel set in a quiet neighbourhood with a great location. We went to Rome to attend a wedding and combined this with sightseeing. We looked at many hotels and read many reviews on the internet before choosing the Edera, one of the Leonardi group of hotels. A number of its reviews were not favourable but it appeared to have all we were looking for. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very helpful reception clerk who checked us in promptly and never questioned our early arrival, before 1pm. Our room was perfectly adequate for our needs and fulfilled our expectations – Whilst not spacious it had a big enough wardrobe, a TV – but no English channels and a small refrigerator which had room to keep the necessary bottles of water chilled. Even more important it had an individual air-conditioning unit, which allowed us complete temperature control and ensured a good night’s sleep. The bathroom had washbasin, bidet and shower and was very clean. Each day the room was cleaned thoroughly and the towels and sheets were changed.
We dealt with three different reception clerks, all of whom were extremely helpful. Taxis were ordered immediately and arrived within five minutes. A map of Rome was forthcoming and included an explanation of the nearest metro station and the best shopping streets. Nothing was too much trouble.
Hotel Edera proved to be all we desired – a quiet, cool and centrally located base from which to explore and attend the wedding. The latter proved to be an absolutely memorable experience.
Along the street to the right is a fruitereer, a corner shop and an excellent Trattoria, where you can eat in or take away a variety of pizzas and pastas – try the lasagne, it’s truly mouth-watering. The Colloseum is a five minute walk away through a delightful park.We will certainly return to the Edera if we visit Rome again.

Hotel Edera , Via Poliziano, Rome
26 April 2007

It’s interesting reading some of the previous reviews. One in particular would rate this Hotel higher than it’s three stars. One can only speak from one’s own experience and as I stayed in only one room in this Hotel, that is my bench mark. I would only rate this Hotel at the most a two Star for the following reasons. Whilst the Hotel was situated in an ideal location, a very pleasant five minute walk from the Colosseum, the hotel itself, judging it by our room and our friends across the landing, I'm afraid requires some loving care and attention.

Apart from the reception area, the overall feel is that there hasn't been any kind of refurbishment or decoration work done for quite a number of years. I use the term "dog eared" to describe our room. Though spacious, the very old wall paper was peeling off of the walls and the paintwork had been very badly touch in.

The toilet/shower room though clean was old and completely worn out.
However, the continental breakfasts were excellent and well replenished and the staff were friendly and helpful.

The overall impression I felt was that the management were making cutbacks to the point that there was no room service available and the lounge bar was permanently closed. If you wanted to have a drink
in the lounge area or court yard garden, then you were asked to use the mini bar in your room and bring your drinks down. In it's present decorative state, I’m afraid I could not recommend this Hotel.

If I were to go back to Rome I would go back to the same ideal location but I would choose a different Hotel.
