I have spent 5 summers in Rome and this hotel is by far the best deal! Staying in Rome can be very expensive, and if you aren't willing to fork out a lot of cash you find yourself living without the creature comforts of home, or miles from the city center. This hotel is in the heart of Rome, and across the street from the ministry of defense, so safety is not an issue. They have a lovely little breakfast that is included, served to you by an adorable grandma, and a sweet yorkie that greats you at the door. The rooms are basic but have one feature that is hard to find for a good price... air conditioning!

I highly recommend this hotel for their hospitality, convenience and price!

As with everything else in Rome (like the Sistine Chapel) book way in advance to avoid disappointment. We booked this hotel at short notice and were disappointed.

15 minutes walk from Spanish steps along a busy road, rooms very small, basic and not very clean. One room was decorated like a jungle with just a small window out on to the laundry/cleaning supplies ! Breakfast basic - a slice of stale cake, rolls and a yoghurt, not buffet just set at the table each day. If booking direct with hotel you must pay at end of stay in cash - very overpriced for what you get..

Do not spoil your trip to this wonderful city by staying here !

We booked by mail and you receive a confirmation mail few hours later. When you arrived, the service was performant and the room (included bathroom) was very clean, with a good dimension, etc... The hotel is in the centre of Roma and you can visit the historic town by foot. We had just take bus to go to Vatican, but it's easy to go by foot in ~40 minuts. It's a great place and when we'll go to Roma, we'll go to this hotel !

Good we checked email before leaving for Rome. After sending us a confirmation of our reservation they sent us another email cancelling our reservation without any explanation. We were left to scramble to find an hotel at the last minute. They never replied to our email. I would not trust this place.

This is a basic hotel with no frills, but we found it much better than hotels we'd stayed in a few blocks closer to the train station. The rooms are small but fine to sleep in, the plumbing is fine and the air conditioning was not strong but did help. The breakfast is adequate though certainly not cheerful.

As previous reviewers noted, the real beauty is the location. Walkable to many sights, and an easy 10 minutes to Termini. It felt safe and quiet at night. Our stay was short so we wanted something near the train station. For a longer stay I'd recommend trying to find something near Piazza Navona or Campo dei Fiori--it's great being in the heart of the historic center for evening passegiata.

We also were caught off guard by the cash-only requirement. I took another look at the website later, and the special deal did mention it--though we didn't realize we were booking that way.
