We found the hotel in Rick Steve's book, then checked out the reviews here. We were on a budget, so we had to ensure that we got what we needed for the money. And, we did !! It's a cute little hotel, located on the 2nd floor (3rd in US). Most of the time, the front door was locked, so you have to be buzzed in, which is good, because it's safe. The surrounding area was safe. Definitely clean. Room was made up everyday. Shower was small, but it should be ok if you don't move around much. Bed was comfortable. we didn't get backache. Room was quiet, but boy, once we closed the windows, all the outside noise was blocked 90%. Free wireless, so it's convenient for our iTouch. But, they do have a laptop you can use out on the lobby. Service was excellent. Thanks Gabriela (that's a he)!!! :-) Breakfast was good; croissant, chocolate croissat, yogurt, fruits, espresso made to order. There's a market across the street on Nazionale that was used a lot by us to get different items. Very convenient. Close to everything. There's reallly no complaint about this hotel. To get good eats, ask the hotel for recommendation. We got jibbed the first time, so we asked Gabriella for recommendations and we tried them all. There was one, don't remember the name, that we loved so much that we went back the 2nd time. Gabriela also had good tips on which place to go before the next, so that we could avoid the long lines. This saves us lots of time. You'd be walking a lot. Get the Roma Pass.
We'll miss Gabriela. He is fun to watch when he's talking. You'll know what I mean when you talk to him. :)
Rome now will always have a special place in our hearts, as we got engaged there !!! Will definitely be back. And we do, we'll definitely stay here again. Room 24, to be specific. Say, what is that 2nd looking toilet for? Forgot to ask when we were there. Since we didn't know what it was for, we didn't use it. :)
Don't change Hotel Italia! We'll be back.
