Stayed for 3 nights last week in this hotel. Got a voucher through Cultuzz (via Ebay) which made it a decent price otherwise wouldn't have bothered. Within walking distance of the Colosseum, Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. Other sights are further afield but walkable if you are keen. It's a couple of minutes away from the main bus and train station where the open topped round trip buses start and finish. We took the subway a couple of times which was cheap and easy to use.
The hotel itself is probably a good 2 star, room was ok, clean enough. Bathroom was ok but the bath was tiny and not really useable. Our room looked out onto a communal courtyard which was good as there was very little noise. It was not that hot so we didn’t really need to use the air con which was just as well because it was useless. I would not want to be in that room in the middle of summer.
Staff were friendly and helpful but very very slow. I ordered 2 beers from the mini bar (fridge was being replaced so had to ask for items). They took 20 minutes and 2 phone calls to arrive, when they did the porter had forgotten a bottle opener. 20 minutes later he retuned with it.
Plenty of restaurants nearby, we went to La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali twice which was only 10 minutes walk away, it was excellent and really made our stay in Rome (see my review if you wish).
To summarise I got a good deal so that made it worthwhile, location worked well for us but all the sights are not right on your doorstep. Unless it was cheap I wouldn't return.
