Strangely I booked to stay at a different hotel, however for reasons which are still not clear to me my reservation was changed to the Hotel Atlantico. I couldn't be happier about this! The hotel is in a perfect location right next to Termini. Thus you have access to the Metro, buses and open top tour buses as well as being able to walk to all major attractions. The Metro in Rome will not take you into the Centro Storico but buses do. Reception will tell you the numbers you need. We found them very easy to use and useful, as at 6.5 months pregnant I wasn't keen on walking far.
Breakfast at this hotel was great - a good choice; fruit, yogurt, cereals, bread and pastry products, eggs, cheese, ham, and a couple of cooked items. Amazingly they also do a good cup of tea (how British am I?)!
The staff on reception and the porters were extremely helpful and friendly.
The only slight downside was that we had a room facing onto the street and there was traffic noise. Take ear-plugs or ask for a room at the back.
We loved the Art Deco decoration!
Also - you need to be aware that you are staying in Rome and therefore you will be paying more for a hotel than other European cities. Accept this and enjoy yourself!

My husband & I stayed at this hotel for three nights and we had a great experience. The room was very clean and big!! The concierge staff was friendly and helpful. We had breakfast included and it was very good since eating in Rome can be a little pricey. This hotel is closed to the Termini Station which was very convenient. When we landed at the airport we took the Leonardo Exress to Termini Station. The hotel is just minutes away from the station so you can walk to the hotel. Keep in mind that taking the Leonardo Express can be dissapointing since it did not have air condition and it was packed with people. While in Rome we had the great experience of contacting Angelo Di Mauro which was an excellent tour guide!! He took us to Civitaveccia to take our cruise. When we came back, he picked us up and took us to Pisa and then to Florence where we stayed for five nights. Angelo is fluent in English as well as Spanish which was convenient for us!! I will definetely stay at this hotel again and I will definetely call Angelo so he can take us everywhere!!! You may contact Angelo at [---]. Arrivederci!!

During our recent trip to Italy, we used Rome as a stop-over between tours. During our first and second stops in Rome, we stayed at the Atlantico and were very satisfied. We were a party of three, so we had a nice-sized triple room. It was room with two double beds and they included a single "roll-away" type bed. The desk agent was waiting for us when we arrived each time. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the location was excellent, being close to Termini, which is where the two Rome metro lines intersect. The staff was very helpful and friendly, making dinner reservations for us, etc. They also allowed us to keep a few pieces of luggage at the hotel between stops so we would not have to pack everything with us the whole time. While Atlantico is not what I would consider a "destination" type hotel, we had not planned on and did not spend a lot of time there. We were in Rome and tried to take as much of it in as possible. Atlantico and her staff were there when we needed them and we had a delightful stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Their website is also helpful and includes some suggested Itineraries. On the whole, we were very satisfied with our stay.

Worst hotel in Europe. Very noisy hotel. Breakfast not good. Backrooms has view on "rubbishdump".
