everything in Rome is walkable...this hotel is one part of a large building. All rooms are away from the road, but some have windows facing into a service courtyard as ours did. However the staff are wonderful, the rooms clean & modern, the breakfast is a buffet & is lovely. I highly recommend it, I went on the basis of Trip Advisor reviews, & was never disappointed one drawback...no tea/coffee in the room(there is a fridge in the room if you want to bring back juice etc, & a nearby Spar supermarket, but the hotel minibar items arent cheap)
No meals available other than breakfast, but its Rome! Theres food everywhere!

Don't be put off by the large, imposing wooden door entrance from the busy street that you have to buzz to enter... the hotel, located on the first floor of the large building (it's even an adventure to use the old lift with manual closing doors!!), is excellent value. The rooms and public areas were very clean and the staff friendly. The breakfast was a delight, as much as you could eat from a cold buffet and served in a lovely decorated room. Great location near the Termini (but not too close to the seedy hotel 'ghetto' that surrounds the station itself). Short walk to all the main attractions of Rome (albeit a short bus ride to the Vatican). Highly recommended

3 Bedroom apartment is managed by the Hotel Cortina in an older by well run building. Angelo was a perfect host meeting us to check in and make sure we knew where we were going. 24 hour desk at hotel around the corner is great for getting help. They booked car for us to airport. To get to apartment from train station takes you through seedier part of Rome. However, once you are there you are convenient to walk to historic Roman areas (15 minute walk), bus to St. Pieters (15 minutes #40), and most piazzas and spanish steps (15 minute walk). Good restaurant options and grocery nearby.

A quaint two person elevator is available to take you up to 2nd floor unit. Kitchen was well equipped and washer was appreciated. No view to speak of, but this is Rome, you don't really stay in that much. Very clean and modern bathrooms.

Master Bedroom very sizable. a real bargain compared to the closets that are most hotel rooms in this city.

Were offered a stay in an apartment managed by the hotel. The apartment is about 100 feet from the hotel. Newly renovated, clean, stylish, and comfortable are the words to describe the wonderful one-bedroom apartment (the apartment was called the "Milano").

The apartment had an efficiency kitchen that includes a two-burner smooth-top range, a small fridge, microwave, and all plates, glassware and utensils. The apartment was on the second floor, serviced by an elevator (lift).

The rate for the apartment was a great value with a flat weekly rate. The hotel offers linen service every third day in the apartments. We saved money by having a couple of meals in our apartment with food we bought at the grocery store about one minute walk away.

The apartment had satellite TV with CNN, BBC, and SkyNews in English on a wall-mounted flat-screen. The apartment did not offer internet service, however, there is a public internet kiosk next door to the apartment entry offering 30 minutes of access for 1.50 Euro.

The bathroom was fully-stocked with amenities, the towels were nice and thick, and the towel-warmer was a nice feature. Never had any problems with availability of hot water.

Angelo and his staff were helpful and gracious. In addition, Angelo gave some great recommendations with regard to restaurants, money changing services, and shops in the area.

The location was convenient to dining, shopping, and transportation. Everything we needed was within easy walking distance. Less than five minute walk to the main "Termini" train and bus station.

The breakfast was good. It provided what you would expect at most European hotels with rolls, cereal, pastries, cheese, sliced deli meats, juice, coffee, and tea.

The entrance to the hotel itself looks a bit shop worn, but, don't let the entrance lower your first impression of the hotel. Buildings in Rome are very old, so this is a feature of many properties.

We chose to have the hotel set up our transportation to and from the airport. It may have cost a few Euro more, but, it was efficient and hassle free. The driver was waiting for us with a sign that said "Hotel Cortina" and our last name.

If you stay here, you should be pleased with the choice. Angelo, thanks for a great stay. If we were coming to Rome tomorrow, we would stay right here, felt like home away from home.
