Excellent Hotel, Old World charm, Bedrooms somewhat small but very hign ceilings gave great sense of space. Well appointed bathroom, Tall elegant windows with olde timber shutters for extra shading as required. Very conveniently located close to main railway station, walking distance to many of Rome's historic attractions, shopping and bus tours of city.

Staff helpful, excellent buffet breakfast, comfortable lounge area with nice discreet bar / coffee service available.

The Massimo D'Azelgio was a good hotel & in a good location. We were on a 14 day tour so our tour group made our reservations. My husband & I were able to walk to many of Rome's attractions to include the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Colisseum - even saw some of the filming of "Angels & Demons" when we exited the Pantheon. We took an extremely long walk our 2nd day and went over to Castel Sant' Angelo. The hotel has free street maps at the front desk which we used in conjunction with a tour book that we had brought with us.

Across the main street, the Via Cavour, is another hotel. This hotel has a rooftop terrace with a bar. Just enter the hotel's lobby and take the elevator. It was a wonderful place to spend our last night in Rome, watch the sun go down & enjoy a glass a wine.

Our room was on the 2nd floor facing Via Cavour & it was a quiet room. We did not hear the traffic. The hotel served a good buffet breakfast. My only complaint would be that our bed was a bit hard.

This hotel was on the "Ten Day Crown of Italy" Tour we went on with Gate 1. I travel a lot for my job in the states and stay at Hyatts, Hiltons, etc. I was pretty much pleased with this hotel. Ask for a large room when you check in and if they have one free, they'll move you (couples...book twin bed rooms in Italy. They are normally pushed together anyway. King and Queen beds are NOT the size we are used to). We had a large lovely room with a beautiful bathroom, refrigerator, flat screen TV and good air conditioning. My 2 kids received the same type of room. Great location for the trains and buses (be adventurous!), a Conad supermarket in the nearby Termini station where we picked up 6 packs of water for 1.5 Euro, bottles of local good wine for 4 Euro, snacks, etc. Breakfast was pretty good. The hotel was clean, service was great.

We have just returned from a four nights visit in Rome.
The hotel provided easy access to both metro and busses, whilst it was not lacking in the areas of cleanliness,staff service, room quality and breakfast.
We would definetely recommended for couples who need a base from whch to explore the city of Rome.
Of rather minor importance was the small tremure felt when train cars from near by metro station passed by.
