After reading some of the negative reviews on this site, I was a little apprehensive - but I was pleasantly surprised.
Service - The front desk guys were friendly and did the job and hotel cleaning staff always had a "buon giorno" for us. We asked for a taxi to the airport but were told they had a private driver who did that - for 50 euros (it was a Sunday). If you're not prepared to pay that, I suggest booking either a normal taxi outside of the Hotel or travelling via public transport.
Cleanliness - I'd read reports of dirty rooms, hairs in bathrooms, etc, but our room was clean. The towels were changed daily and the bathroom was kept clean.
Room - The room was ok, nothing broken or falling apart as reported, and the decor was clean and tidy. Only gripe were the beds, which for me were ok, but for my partner not so (he said they were uneven and uncomfortable). I guess it depends on how sensitive a sleeper you are. Which takes me to the noise issue - It *was* noisy outside and even with the windows shut, you had a feeling they hadn't closed properly. I slept with earplugs - but hey, I am in a busy capital city in a good location, so I can accept that there are going to be other people around :)
Breakfast - This was also mentioned as a negative point, but as most people familiar with Italy will know, Italians do not do breakfast, but prefer to drink a cappucino and eat something sweet "on the go" . However saying that, the breakfast in Priscilla is truly shockingly bad (awful coffee, pre-packed "rusks" and dry old white bread). If you don't want to go far, there is a cafe next door who sell delicious espressos and pastries!
Television - OK, I have to make a comment about this - I read complaints that the TV is only Italian and the only English channel is CNN. I don't understand this complaint - if you're in Italy, then expect Italian TV. If the TV is bad, then explore Rome instead of watching it :)
I would recommend Hotel Priscilla - it's nothing special, but it's not a dump and it's clean and does the job. Just avoid the breakfast and do as the Romans do :)
