I stayed there for 7 nights. Booked a single room, but they gave me a double room. The room was still so small, I couldn't believe it was for 2 people. The bathroom was nice size with a big tub. The closet was big enough for me, but probably not for 2. Ask for a free upgrade to a larger room when you check in, like I did. It's worth a try. The bed was very comfortable, and the sheets were super clean each day. The room was very quiet with the windows shut. The bedside nightstand was too dim to read in bed. Bring your own light if you want to read in bed. Breakfast was OK except for the coffee. It must be instant coffee. It tasted really bad. If you're a coffee lover like me, forget their coffee and go to Illy's next door for a cup of cappuccino (only 1 euro). There's a PC (no printer) in the lobby. They charge you for the internet connection, but the rate was reasonable. I only checked my emails each night, and the total for a week came out to be only 3 euro. It's a very good hotel for the most part, and I recommend this hotel to first-time visitors to Rome because it's within the walking distance from Termini and the hop-on/off buses stop right across the street from the hotel. If you wanted to get back to the hotel by taxi after all-day sightseeing, all you have to say to the taxi driver is "Santa Maria Maggiore". No need to explain the location of the hotel. This hotel is very convenient for first-timers. The downside is that the hotel is not right in the heart of the city, so you have to take some form of public transportation between the touristic sites and the hotel. After a few days, it starts to feel like a waste of time going back and forth each day. And there is no good place to eat in the neighborhood, so you have to have dinner elsewhere before coming back to the hotel each night. It would have been nice if there were lots of restaurant choices within the walking distance. I am glad I stayed at this hotel this time, but when I go back to Rome for the second time, I will stay near Pantheon so I can walk to everywhere and save time/money getting to/from the hotel.

Four friends stayed in this hotel in May. Staff very friendly and rooms clean. One room more spacious than the other but both with great views of the Cathedral. Towels were changed every day and lovely fluffy dressing gowns in bathroom. Free use of safe in the rooms and tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast in the roof terrace was really good. Tea and coffee at breakfast was always cold, (only complaint)View from terrace great.
Handy shops and restaurants nearby.. small supermarket accross the road and downstairs from the ice cream shop to the left of department store UPIM. Bus from the airport to Termini only cost 8Euro. Taxi driver tried to charge us 30euros from Termini to hotel but it is only a five minute walk.
Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

We traveled to Rome with our two children who are 5 and 3.5 years and stayed at the Mecenate Palace. I wasn't sure what to expect based on a few reviews but it really was so much better. We had stayed in very small hotels in Rome, pre-kids, with small rooms. The lobby was spacious and our room was perfect for the 4 of us. No, we weren't running laps but it's relative to Rome. The kids played on the bed and floor and the bathroom could fit all of us if necessary. When we pulled the curtains, the room was dark, which is always a bonus. There's noise but it's Rome! We were close enough to Termini to walk to it but far enough to not feel like we were amongst an element. The hotel staff were all friendly and recommended a restaurant called Angelo's Pizza which was perfect. We were near a grocery store as well as a beautiful church (Santa Maria Maggiore). Every day we hopped on the Metro and went some where different. I'm sure there are other hotels which are bigger and maybe better located but we were really happy with it. And it was a 4 star hotel which means it really was quite nice.

very conveniently located a few minutes walk from the railway station, right by the lovely church of Santa Maria Maggiore and a leisurely stroll to the other major sites/sights, assuming you, like me, find part of the joy of a new city is in discovering it on foot. Staff were charming, the buffet breakfast was very good and the view from the roof garden was wonderful. Of course the rooms might seem small for some of our American friends but the hotel has been tastefully converted from an old palace and the twin I shared with my mother was more than adequate - and I liked having a kettle in the room to make a cup of tea at the end of day's sight/site seeing. Recommended!
