Good location - just a five minute walk from the Termini train station and the Metro.

The Colosseum/Forum/Palatine Hill is just fifteen minutes walk away and the Vatican is only forty five minutes walk away.

There are plenty of resturants near to the hotel, with a lovely ice cream shop next door and Internet cafe also next door.

I was in the 'new rooms' which are a couple of doors away from the main hotel. You have four keys to access the room - so you feel secure but sometimes you feel like a jailer unlocking all those doors!

The room was small but clean. The TV offers just the usual Italian language stations - no satellite channels available. There wasn't a fridge in my room nor tea making facilities - which I missed.

The room had a small balcony - but the noise (talking rather than
'partying') of the people below meant I didn't really use it.

The shower cubicle is small but serviceable.

My bed squeaked - which drove me mad, especially as I was struggling to sleep in the heat and the aircon wasn't on - there was a aircon
'machine' but no remote to control - but It didn't matter to me as I preferred the breeze through the window.

Overall, I would recommend this place - It is located conviententally
for all the tourist sites and facilities, and it was good value for money.

First the minuses...The breakfast could be better, no fresh fruit, no cuts of meat and no eggs. It also does not have a lift which could be a problem if you have a room on the upper floors.

And the pluses...it is very reasonable, clean, airconditioned and well maintained. And the location is fantastic - almost next to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and 5 minutes away from the central station - Termini. As a bonus, we had very nice room on the 4th floor with a balcony.

I would not hesitate to recommend it. Expect good value for your money and you will not be disappointed.

Location is this hotel's best asset. You can easily walk to the Collosseum and Forum, and metro is just two blocks away, to take you to parts of Rome you don't want to walk to - so it's very convenient. Beds were extra comfortable, just what we needed after hours of walking through Rome, bathroom was somewhat small, and the heating/AC gave us a lot to laugh about (it worked without problems, but turning it on produced funniest spunds we've heard so far). All in all, if you're not in Rome for the luxury but you're looking for a clean place to sleep, preferably located close to everything you want to see, than for the price this hotel is just great.

We stayed in a spacious 5th floor room (was a triple really) which was in a residential building next door to the hotel reception. There was no lift which wasn't a problem for us. There were four rooms in a separate corridor on this floor so it was secure. The shower room was tiny and the shower was very small so would be impossible for a pregnant or out-sized person. The room was cleaned daily and air conditioned. Room also had TV, fridge and safe.

The breakfast was good providing you get there early as stuff tended to run out. They did have more, you just have to ask them! Typical continental buffet breakfast but no fresh fruit.

Staff were friendly and we didn't encounter any problems on our stay. We found the area and fine and extremely close to the Termini Station and walked everywhere.

Overall we would recommend the hotel for people on a budget who don't mind walking or not being central. We would give the hotel 2.5-3 stars based on our experience.
