This hotel is a compromise between good location (3 min walk to Colosseo), dirty rooms, extra small shower cabins and poor front desk service. Twin type rooms are extremely small!!!! Suggestion - ask for a double room which is better!

Good standard hotel. Not too hard to get to from Ciampino Airport using easy to follow Metro. Fantastic view when climbing the steps from the metro station - first thing you see is the Colosseo!! About a 10 min walk to the hotel from the metro. About a 20 min walk to the town centre (Trevi Fountain etc); 5 min metro ride to Vatican City.

Room was average size and well maintained. Breakfast is standard stuff. Staff are approachable and helpful.

Not spectacular but not a dive either.

This hotel should not qualify as four stars.

Our room was small and dirty. Nothing like the photos. There was a giant pillar in the middle which made it seem even smaller.

The Hotel Services brochure said that there would be a buffet breakfast, and a complimentary breakfast could be delivered to the room. The buffet? 3 croissants. The cost of the buffet? 6euro. The cost of the complimentary breakfast-in-room? 15euro.

I asked about this at the front desk. The man informed me that complimentary means 'at extra cost' and that I should consult a dictionary. Really? As a native speaker, I thought my command of the English language was pretty good! He backtracked and said that I hadn't paid a high enough rate to be a respected guest. My bad! I didn't see the "Be a respected guest" option on the booking form.

Our bed was never tidied by housekeeping.

Any reccommendations for places to eat were places the Hotel had side-deals with, but I think this is standard.

In summary, this hotel offers nothing other than location and attitude. Location was good though.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 days - Sept. 11-12. We had just flown in from the US, arrived mid morning, and were happy to find that a room was available for us. It was on the 6th floor with a nice view of the Colosseum. The room was a bit worn and small - but clean and nice enough. It was hot while we were there and it was nice to have the air-conditioning, even though it barely seemed to work at times. Our room was very quiet and the bed was comfortable, bathroom small but ok. One of the nice things about the hotel was the rooftop pool and bar area. My husband used the pool twice in the late afternoon to cool off from our busy days of sightseeing. It was almost empty at this time. We enjoyed drinks outside at the rooftop bar area. Diego was the barman and we had excellent service. He even recommended a place to eat that was nearby and it was excellent - can't remember the name - but ask him - he will know. We also had the 6 euro breakfast each morning - juice,pastry,coffee - this is located on the rooftop (weather permitting) which is a lovely way to start the day - eating a pastry, sipping on a delicious cappuccino, looking out at the Colosseum. It is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palentine Hill, etc. It is an easy walk to the metro that will get you to the Vatican, Spanish steps, etc. It is about a 25 -30 minute walk to Piazza Novona - we walked this on a very rainy night and it was ok - but the metro is so easy. The staff at the front desk were very helpful to us. We were only there for 2 days and it was fine for what we needed.
