We found this in a travel guide book. They came back with the best rate out of the three other hotels in their class. When we arrived, we were greated by a friendly staff and given a nice clean and quiet room. We found that we were within walking distance to many of Rome's attractions: Spanish Steps, Colosseum and The Pantheon to name a few. There are several nice cafe`s within a block or two. In retrospect, we knew we picked the right place to stay in Rome.

Stayed for two nights - not too far from the main train station, and on a quiet street in Rome. The room was small, but we weren't there to hang out in the room. The location is good - close to the Metro, the Roman Forum and yet still in a quiet location. Not many good restaurants in the area. There are two buildings for this hotel - we stayed in the room across the street from the main lobby. It was a pain to walk across the street for breakfast, but that was our only complaint. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and there was a computer that we could use - free of charge!

We stayed 6 nights in this hotel and were very happy with the choice.The location is great, the hotel is very clean , very friendly stuff.If you want ot see Rome mostly walking and come to a nice place in the evening to rest this hotel will be perfect choice and very good value for money.If some people are not happy about the breakfast ( saying it is not big enough) they should book a 4 or 5 star hotel .
Thank you all in the hotel ITALIA !

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at this lovely little hotel (16-19 April) and will do so again when we visit Rome. I read many reviews before choosing Hotel Italia, and we were not disappointed in this final decision. While the room and bathroom are small, we knew that ahead of time, and since we were getting on a cruise ship soon, we didn't mind not being spoiled with a large room! Moreover, we were in our room so little that the tight space was no problem.

We loved the location, choosing it because of its proximity to Termini. But in actuality, it was close to everything for us. I do admit we are walkers, but aside from the Vatican (which we did walk to), the major sites in Rome are simply not that far away.

The staff at Hotel Italia is its strongest point. Sabrina was so friendly and helpful. One evening manager (wish I'd caught his name) was especially helpful. He'd seen that I was having trouble making phone calls from my room (I was now in the lobby on their free laptop - another nice touch), and he offered to make the call himself! He tried several times. Another staff immediately took care of some noisy girls in an adjoining room. We were impressed with all the staff, and the ones who help with the breakfast buffet were attentive as well. Great cappuccino, but do beware that the breakfast is fairly basic. It served us well, however, and if you need more, there's a grocery store across the street, which we used. Ricca Est is a terrific restaurant just a couple blocks away. We ate there twice, and we felt it was a good sign that locals were lined up to get in.

Take advantage of the free internet, travel books, terrific staff, and outstanding location.
