This hotel was average.
Pros: -Near main Termini station, about 2 blocks (which, by the way, is the only spot where the 2 metro lines meet and is the main train station). VERY CONVENIENT to get anywhere in Rome. I personally preferred the metro to buses, especially when the buses have nicknames like the "wallet eater".
-Nice front desk staff.
-A/C works well. We accidentally left it on and came back to a freezer!
-Room doesn't need room key to have electricity. This is how we left the a/c on all day.
-Near several restaurants, other hotels, and a small grocery by the train station.

Cons: -Rooms need updating. Our room had upholstered walls that were moldy near the ceiling.
-The breakfast was limited-coffee, juice, cereal, and rolls. Our other hotels in Europe offered more options which let us skip lunch and just have to pay for dinner outside of the hotel, not the case here.

I read some reviews that said this was a bad area of town. To me, it felt about the same as the rest of Rome. I didn't feel unsafe but I wouldn't be out anywhere too late at night, not just around the hotel.

Competely acceptable hotel VERY close to Termini station, just a few blocks away. Very convenient if you are coming into Rome by train or going to the airport. A few caveats: please don't book this hotel if you are looking for plush accommodations, if you are squeamish with lots of graffiti on buildings in the neighborhood, if you are uncomfortable with different nationalities than you walking alongside you on the street, and if you expect a huge breakfast (there's a breakfast room, no restaurant, but an Asian restaurant next door). PLEASE book if you like a comfy room, clean, updated bathroom and shower (though rather small), a little quirkiness (front desk staff has all their reservations in a huge log book - which is probably not unusual for a family-owned hotel), and a simple, complementary breakfast (it's an American thing, I guess, but I admit I'm a little squeamish about room temperature milk on my cereal). You are within walking distance to the wonderful Rome Museum and not too far at all to the Colosseum and the Forum. However, if you want to spend most of your time around the Vatican, this is nowhere close, but again, you have the Termini station with all their connections. Let's say I would definitely stay here again, but probably wouldn't recommend this to people who are not well-travelled, but definitely to people who are there to explore Rome, and want to stay somewhere comfortable for a decent hotel price.

Very friendly staff. Family owned and operated. Very close to bus and train station. Clean and perfect for sightseeing and being able to jump on the train/bus to get around Rome.

friendly atmosphere , close to Termini station, basic breakfast,
I didn't like the decor of the room, too dark.
moderately priced
