Picked this hotel based on Tripadvisor reviews and location. Our overriding wish was to have a hotel near the Vatican and reasonably close to the subway. We also wanted a clean, neat hotel with a couple amenities. This hotel fit the bill.

Cleanliness & Service: No complaints. The room was always well kept, and clean by the time we returned from daily sightseeing in the late afternoon, prior to leaving for dinner. The cleaning staff was quiet, courteous and barely seen. Breakfast was very good; a nice spread of fruit, pastries, breakfast meats, cereals and, of course, coffee. Staff was helpful in providing touring suggestions, arranging a taxi for our trip to the airport and arranging dinner reservations.

Location: Very nice. A little bit of a walk from the subway (~5-10 minutes) but shopping and a couple reasonable restaurants nearby, and great access to the Vatican and Vatican Museum. We are both in our late-20s, and for a couple who likes to walk, it was fine for even exploring "downtown" Rome. Taxis are also easily available from nearby taxi stands. On the otherhand, if you are looking to party late into the night in Rome, and then stumble back to this hotel, I might think twice. The streets can be pretty deserted after 11PM. Probably safe, but can be a little eerie.

Room: Somewhat on the small side, for those used to US hotel rooms, but probably similar to other Rome hotels. TV was small, and our room didn't offer much of a view. The bed was perfectly fine. If you plan on spending a great deal of time (other then sleeping) in your room, this may not be the best place to be. If you are looking for a comfortable bed and clean room, it's great.

Value: Given the nice location, good breakfast and very helpful staff, I think the price was very reasonable.
