Having just returned from Rome as a 50th birthday suprise from my husband I have to say I was very dissapointed with this hotel.Our room was on the first floor with a lovely view of the bins, it smelt heavily of stale cigarrette smoke and was very small. During the night we were kept awake be the generator which was just outside our room and some rather peculiar noises coming from the plumbing system. The hotel is in desperate need of a refurb as the room and the corridors looked decidedly grubby. To be fair we had no problems with the staff, and found reception staff very obliging. We had a buffet breakfast incuded with our stay and this was adequate for us. In conclusion I would not recommend this hotel and certainly dont think that it up to 4* standard. Its only redeeming feature is its location which is handy for the metro and bus service.

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.
