I was stuck there for 5 days while on business. While a couple of the staff were polite and helpful, one in particular was rude and creepy. I didn't feel safe there at all.

The breakfast was OK - but I watched the waitress yell at another patron one morning for requesting a second latte (the patron even said she'd pay extra for it - eventhough it was supposed to be complementary...)

The room was small - but roof balcony very nice. The place was OK in terms of cleanliness, but the matress and sheets must be 50 years old. Very uncomfortable.

There is no bar or cafe - despite what they advertise.

Neighbourhood a bit sketchy - but seemed safe enough, easy to commute anwwhere in the city, 5 min walk to Tirmini.

I have just returned from a 3-day sightseeing trip to Rome, and spent my nights at the Siviglia. To say that the hotel was mixed is an understatement!
Reception was courteous and OK - Bar was closed.
My single room was basically a large cupboard with a clean, but functional shower/toilet.
The breakfasts were the highlight of the stay - good choice and efficient service.
The staff were reasonably helpful, if a little formal.
If you are looking for a place to bed down for the night whilst visiting the beautiful city it is OK, but don't make the mistake of trying to impress a partner - romantic it is not.
The permanent presence of the Carabinieri across the street is moderately reassuring - as long as nobody wants to blow up the Turkish Embassy.
All in all, pretty mixed, but not disastrous.

i stayed at siviglia in january this year. i was a little disappointed by the location of the hotel -- on a back street near some seedy looking pubs -- so i always made sure to be back at the hotel before dark. the receptionist who checked us in was rude and abrupt. our room was located on the first floor and was clean and comfortable with a small terrace overlooking a neighbouring street. the buffet breakfast was great -- we stocked up on bread rolls and fruit to take with us as we spent every day seeing the sights. the main train station is only a 10min walk away and from there you can travel straight to fumicino airport or any metro location in the city which i found extremely handy. the local supemarket filled in the blanks where evening meals were concerned as hotel siviglia did not offer dinner. i wouldn't recommend this hotel to families or those looking for a relaxing break but, if like me, you are more interested in seeing the sites of rome then you could do a lot worse than this.

The room was tiny, but the veranda more than made up for it. I was in room 441, so I had a corner balcony that was larger than the room itself, overlooking the Turkish Embassy. I was in Rome alone, my first time in a foreign country. Someone attempted to snatch my purse a block from the hotel, but the Carabinieri was parked on the corner, so the guy ran off when I screamed. So I guess crime isn't so bad. The maid was really sweet, but the two guys that worked the front desk were rather stuffy and brusque. My only complaints were that the pipes can be loud at night, a bellboy walked into the room to get a lemon from one of the trees on the the balcony without knocking first (I was in a towel the one time this happened), and my personal belongings were always stuffed into the closet while I was out, even if I left a note (in Italian) for them to leave my things alone. The air conditioner/heater did not work, and the sheets were stained, but the weather was perfect so I slept on top of the bed with the balcony open. Also, DO NOT drink anything from the frigobar. The price list is wrong, and you are in for a SURPRISE when you get the bill. Another plus is the pizza by the slice place up the road- wonderful!!! And you can walk to anywhere in the city. I never caught a bus or train the entire time I was in Rome!
