This is a difficult review to write as I liked the hotel enough but only moderately enjoyed Rome this visit.

The hotel is located near the Camp di Fiori. I specifically chose room #42 from the website as it featured a terrace, and for this reason alone I would recommend the hotel. Our room was small (as noted on the website) and the bathroom had pretty tiles and new features. It was very small with the Italian shower that simply drains away. The terrace was large - 11' x 14' - and had lovely new terracotta tiles with a matching terracotta tiled/wrought iron table and chairs. Planters offered some privacy screening from the street but not from the facing apartment buildings (we didn't find this a problem, however). While it did not have a great view, it did offer a slight view of a neighbouring church. And a great place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine or a picnic dinner.

This is a three star hotel. The room came with a bar bridge that had a small personal safe inside. No hair dryer. Not a lot of luggage storage. The size woud be perfect for a single or a like-minded couple with minimal luggage. If you travel with a lot of luggage, this is not the room for you.

Nightly charge was E160.

The area was noisy (isn't all of the centro storico?). The closest piazza was small but had a terrific neighbourhood bar/cafe and an excellent restaurant. This was my first visit staying in the Campo di Fiori/Piazza Navona area, and it was okay. Very touristy but perhaps everywhere in this tourist-lovers city is. I liked the Tridente/Piazza di Popolo area where I stayed in last time better.

Our experience was fine in this small, budget European hotel. We opted for the superior room, which included a small living area apart from the bedroom and rather large bath. The extra space of two chairs, a loveseat, table, desk and TV was welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. Unexpected nice amenties were in the bath (soap/shampoo/ lotion/shower cap/heated towel rack). The desk personnel were delightful, multilingual, and very helpful. The elevator, AC, TV worked fine. Breakfast was typical fare, but edible. Location is on a very narrow dark quiet street 1 block from a major street and it was easy walking distance to Camp di Flori, The Panetheon, Piazza Navona, Spanish Steps, and everywhere in Central Rome. Easy access to excellent dining close by. We did not experience any safety issues as police were everywhere in Rome. It was a delightful experience and we enjoyed it very much! The hotel is a good value in high season in Rome,

Small hotel, with small but nice rooms, friendly staff, good basic breakfast. The location is great, 20 minutes from the Vatican in the West, 10 minutes from Piazza Navona to the North, 15 minutes from Trastevere in the South. Easy to reach from the airport: take a train to Station Trastevere. Take the tram to Argentina and walk for 20 minutes to the hotel. Meanwhile you will cross Campo di Fiori.

Simple and basic hotel. Expensive, but then central Rome generally is. Rooms are comfortable, if cramped, and facilities adequate for vacationers interested in seeing Rome, not sitting in the room. Breakfast is basic, but served with a smile and the staff are extremely helpful.

Recommended.
