Our first view of the hotel from the outside was less than favourable but once we were inside that changed completely. Marble steps up to a lift that took us to a small yet spacious reception, then up via a second lift to our room which though smallish in size was excellent. As has been previously reported there is no tea/coffee making facility in the room but is available on request. There is a mini bar with drinks at reasonable prices, not the normal hotel rip off prices. The bed was very comfotable and the bathroom, though again small, was modern and clean with a pressure shower that was unbeivably good - a mini hand held shower and a giant fixed shower head. Our room faced the main road and although it was noisy at times it didn't disturb us. There was an electronic shutter that helped cut out noise at night and also left the room in complete darkness, keeping out the early morning light until we were ready to start the new day. We found the staff, especially Monica, very friendly and helpful and the only down side is tha very small lift that takes a maximum of 3 people to their rooms and to the 8th floor restaurant which has a great room across Rome. And breakfast there was very good indeed!

Stayed 3 nights. Room was well decorated, but would have thought there would be 2 chairs for a room for 2 people.

No Tea or Coffee facilities in the room, No Ice Available from Hotel. No Bar as advertised, and still listed in welcome pack. No Bistro for evening meal as advertised and listed in welcome pack.

Internet access ok from Hotel reception, but only 1 PC for 55 rooms, and wireless connection in room was hopelessly slow if you were able to connect at all

Only one small (3 person) lift for 55 rooms - 100 plus guests, meant a lot of queueing and waiting by lift doors, no accessible stairs, as they were behind the firedoors that appeared to be alarmed.

Staff were friendly, cleanliness was ok but a bit of dusting wouldn't go amiss.

Excellent location for the metro and to get to the colleseum etc, bit far to walk to Vatican but as I asaid Metro was close and good value.

Shower in room wasw good and the bathroom exellently decorated.

Beds were huge and very comfortable

Not aprticulalry good value for the cost per night, but comfortable none the less.

Rooms on Via Magna grcia side of hotel suffer from a large amount of traffic noise and from being on an ambulance route to nearbìy hospital.

Would not use again or recommend due to lack of facilities and cost.

We booked this hotel through airmiles. We were concerned because previous reviews mentioned building works so I contacted the hotel in advance and was assured that we would not be disturbed. This proved to be so. Although the building work continues it is completely screened from the bedrooms and public areas and we heard no noise at all. Our room faced the street and had a small balcony. The decor was a bit tired except for the shower room which although small was beautifully fitted and very glamorous. The location is a bit Colleseum and San Giovanni in Laterno as well as the metro. Buses for the centro storico stop right outside the hotel. The breakfast room has great views over Rome.

We stayed at the Piccadilly for 3 nights to do the usual Rome tourist trip. We chose it because it seemed good value and pretty well reviewed here. When we arrived we asked for a quieter room at the back - as per advice from other TA members. We were given a 2nd floor room at the back. At 6.30 the next morning we were woken by the sounds of hammering, clattering and loud conversation. Looking out of our window we discovered that we were basically staying in a builders yard (we had arrived in the dark - in every sense) The hydraulic lift for materials was just outside our window. Why give us a room like this - did they expect us to say nothing?
We asked for a change of room and luckily one was available at the front so we had to repack and move. The next people at reception were also requesting a room change. We then discovered the hotel was full of notices apologising 'to our dear guests for the refurbishment work'
This of course is a real dilemna for hotels - do they close up or keep going and upset the guests? We booked the hotel through Airmiles who say that they were unaware of the works. I would have liked to have known beforehand - we would not have stayed here.
On a positive note the new room had an excellent bathroom and was comfortable. The breakfast room is very bright with excellent staff and great views.
If you really are in to eating out this is not the best area. There are a few reasonable restaurants but not much choice (I'Corsari kindly recommended by a previous reviewer is now a Barclays Bank!)
Getting around is pretty easy. The metro is fairly close by. The general area is pretty uninteresting, though San Giovanni in Laterano is walkable.
This will be a very pleasant hotel - when they've finished the 'works'
