Lovely little hotel about 5 mins walk from Santa Maria Maggiore (which is beautiful inside and out), there is a small supermarket below a department store which is handy for water and snacks on days out. Make sure you stock up if you're going for a week as the water on snack huts are extremely expensive, we paid 6 euros for a bottle of water!!!

The air con in reception was fantastic and the reception staff were brilliant.

Breakfast was not great, nothing hot apart from tea and coffee and it was all pre-packed!! Not good.

The hotel comes with a quant little terrace area and bar, which was nice when the sun had set a little.

This hotel was ideal for hard core tourists and if you're only interested in Rome for it's attractions then this is perfect.

Nice place. Helpful staff. Great location close to the Termini train station & subway for mobility to other locations in Rome. A little noisy as its on a busy street. Breakfast is not much to brag about. Sleep was comfortable.

My family (parents and two college-age daughters) stayed at this hotel for four nights while visiting Rome. I picked this hotel after reading Rick Steves' Italy guidebook and was not disappointed. There is nothing spectacular about the hotel, but the rooms were clean, cool (although the air conditioner was sometimes loud), and not too small. The location is convenient if you are arriving/departing from Termini train station, and it is also very close to a Metro stop. Many attractions are within walking distance, and all are accessable using the Metro.

Our only problem was that one of the managers had informed us that there would be an additional charge for paying with a credit card (which was not mentioned in Rick Steves' book or when I reserved the rooms and, at least in the US, is probably in violation of service agreements with the major credit card companies). However, the manager at the desk when we checked out said that those were the "other manager's rules" and didn't charge us more than the Rick Steves' rate of 95 Euros for a double bedroom w/bathroom.

All in all, we would recommend this hotel.

Like others, I selected this because: a) it is close to Termini station; and b) Rick Steves had checked it out. Like Rick said, it's a business travel kind of place. Not a lot of charm. No feeling of a family-run hotel or b&b. The staff contact I had was acceptable, but they certainly didn't go out of their way to add anything to our stay. But it was clean and relatively spacious for what I expected in Rome.

The AC wasn't working, and I would have gotten someone to fix it if we'd been staying there for more than one night.

I'd go back just because it is so easy to get to/from Termini and a metro stop is just down the block. For the price, I think it's a good deal.
