There was a group of 51 of us - we had a great time. The hotel isn't central but it only took minutes to get anywhere by taxi and the metro is close. Breakfast could do with a bit of a revamp and unfortunately the pool was closed, but the rooms were comfortable and clean, the staff were helpful, the bar was well stocked! We would recommend this hotel to anyone, its difficult to get a hotel in the centre of Rome that doesn't cost mega money! The Metro in Rome is so easy to use this hotel is great!

Comfy beds, clean rooms, towels changed daily. Like most Italian establishments staff are cool towards guests but we found the front desk helpful enough.

Didn't have a main meal there but breakfast is rather bland

Good Chinese restaurant and several fine pasta establishments/ Pizzerias nearby.

20 mins walk to a good supermarket for water/fruit, and 1 euro bus stop/metro stop to the centre of Rome, (journey approx 20 mins). 8 euros by taxi to Ponte Vittorio Emanuelle. No problem if you don't mind a stroll and riding buses.

I stayed at the Princess with my wife and I have never been more disappointed by a hotel in my life: the hotel is very far from the city center and the nearest underground stop is more than a mile away. You need to walk along a shabby and noisy road to get there because there are very few buses and you'll drop dead from breathing in all the pollution from the bustling street waiting for the bus to arrive!
the hotel is located near the Hilton hotel and other very nice 4 or 5 star hotels but the Princess is certainly not one of them and should never have been awared 4 stars. How deceiving!: our room was small and barely clean, the bathroom tiny and inconvenient and the staff at the reception barely polite!
We have returned to Rome since that dreadful stay at the Princess and have picked a really nice place near the Spanish steps; so my advice to you is: go to Rome but pick your hotel wisely!

My first encounter with this hotel was through its website where it showed decent photos of the hotel & room with a good description of its surrounding sites. Furthermore, it listed itself as a 4 star international hotel. As the price was reasonable (not cheap), I decided to give it a go.

As I got there, the experience was far from 4 stars. The staff was rude when I asked for directions on how to get around in Rome, stating they had better things to do and just pointed me to a map. When I asked how frequent its complimentary shuttle bus to the train station was, rather than telling me the time - they proceeded telling me off as the information was already listed on their board - which was covered with so many tour bulletins, it was difficult to spot. Their shuttle bus times only runs about 5 times a day - the last being at 5ish pm. In summer, the sun sets past 9.30pm so going back to the hotel where there is nothing to do, seem pointless. However, it is a tiring 20mins walk back from the train station to the hotel.

When I asked for additional towels, I was subjected to an interrogation as to why I needed them - the reason - the bathroom is so badly designed that it floods! When I explained my situation, they reluctantly handed me an additional rag - which was the towel.

It was a horrible, nightmares experience staying in this hotel. Do not stay in this place unless you are desperate – and even then, surely you can find something better.
