Went to Rome in the end of February, 2009 (5 nights), for the first time having organised all trip independently. Weather was good, but little bit cool. In the afternoon the temperature of air from 7 to 15 degrees, in the first days fell to-1 so it was necessary to put on a beret and gloves in the evening. The rain was once, went hour 2. Hotel has chosen too independently on responses on http://www.tripadvisor.com. The hotel has liked, all corresponded to responses (if, as always, to reject extreme opinions).
It occupies a part of a usual apartment house in the centre of Rome, on each ladder platform of each floor 3 sound wooden doors: directly opposite to an exit from the lift an input in a hotel corridor from which there are doors to numbers, and to the right and on the left doors of apartments in which there live the Roman citizens (see the photo). The system of electronic keys Everywhere works-at an input from a ladder, at an input in number.
Advantages, important for me:
1. An excellent arrangement: in 200 metres from via Nazionale (used buses much) and in 500 metres from Termini (was going to go for one day to Florence).
2. Pure silent number (5 floor) in which there is a table, a minibar, a case, the TV, the safe, a teapot and tea-coffee-sugar, the conditioner (which I periodically included on heating). The window left directly on opera theatre-beauty. A bathroom with a per capita cabin which in the sizes is quite convenient, a dryer for towels and with all necessary [--] which worked. Towels changed every day.
3. Good sound insulation if only neighbours did not rustle in a corridor about my door. And when all were in numbers-silences. Only, sometimes someone silently played music behind a wall, probably, the neighbour-Roman. It was very lovely!
4. A breakfast: flakes of 2 kinds, yoghurt (tasty), sausage , cheese (triangles in a foil), oil (it was not pleasant to me, has bought and ate the). Batches - my favourite pie with spinach (the dough as for a pizza) - super! Any fruitcakes and pies (2-3 kinds), croissants, simple rolls (1 kind), all fresh, warm. Fruit-oranges, apples, bananas. Juice. And at last, the waiter brings coffee - by request. Cappuchino it is very good, once tried chocolate, too it is tasty.
5. In a hall always in an easy approach 3 computers with Internet connection.
6. Since I do not know English, and I speak in French a little, for me it was important, that one of employees on reception spoke in French.
7. The kind personnel though no problems at me existing and to check up them in a stressful situation it was not necessary, and thank God!
8. Presence shuttle the airport-hotel and hotel-airport at the price of 14 euros (in one party).
Lacks, for me not having special value:
1. A room and a bathroom small on the area.
2. A floor everywhere stone, that is good, probably, in a heat. And when the temperature and reaches in the evening to-1 it is cold at night. So take warm socks.
