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.

This was a good, basic hotel. Nothing fancy - just decent (smallish) rooms. Comfortable, clean, air conditioned. Breakfast in the morning was reasonable. Staff was friendly and helpful. There's a small market around the corner for supplies.

As others have said - location is key...We walked nearly everywhere except the colliseum. It was nice to be able to take a night time stroll down to the campo d'fiori or the Piazza Navona from the hotel.

"we" is a family of 5 - took two rooms, a double and a triple. I'd stay there again, and recommend it. FYI - the hotel was able to arrange a driver to come pick us up fat the airport for not much more than a train - very nice to get a ride straight from the airport to the hotel.

The best feature of this hotel is its location. At the end of the street is the square of Campo di Fiori, a nice location with restaurants and bars, where you can hang out till late or just walk in 10 minutes to the area of Trevestere, where there is also a lot of things to do in the evening. The location of the hotel is very central in Rome, you can easily walk to all the sites within 10 - 20 minutes.

The negative aspect about the hotel is the quality. Rooms are very small, as are the beds (double beds are 1,60 m wide, so if you are two single travelers, get two seperate beds!) and the matrasses are hard and uncomfortable. The bathroom is also tiny, not for large people. You can live with this for a couple of nights, as there is much more to do outside of the hotel and you only get there to sleep.

Service is good, staff is nice and you get a freshly made cappucino made at breakfast.

Would I return to this hotel? No. Next time I would book a more expensive hotel at about the same location. I would rather pay 200 - 250 euro a night and get a better sleep and more quality than pay 180 euro per night for this hotel.

Just returned from a week at this hotel (my third stay in Rome), and for a reasonable price in the heart of Rome, could not have asked for better. The staff was charming and very helpful with restaurant reservations and taxis, the beds were comfortable, rooms clean, elevator functioning, there was lots of hot water in the shower and big towels. Breakfast was cereals, rolls, yogurt, cheese + ham - and the cappucino lovely (I skipped the canned fruit and juice panned in another review - if fresh squeezed is what you want, look for a hotel with more stars and bring some more euros). We were a short walk from Piazza Navona, Campo Dei Fiori and the bridges over to Trastevere. Via Pellegrino is busy enough to feel safe (we were two women traveling together) but not as loud as the bigger streets (not to say it is quiet, I'm not sure if there are quiet spots in central Rome, but that is the fun of it). Staff ranged in their English skills, but even with our maybe 20-ish words of Italian, we had no problems.
