It was very cheap for its location. The place was clean, the staff met us at the door and took our bags. The breakfast was simple, but the effort was nice and they definitely didn't have to do it for the price. We were near the front door, and the walls are very thin so can hear alot, like the doorbell, but people seemed considerate. Room was a bit pokey. All in all though it was good, not for a romantic stay in a room, but as a reasonable base to see Rome and not spend loads (59 Euros a night). The area I didn't find as bad as some have said, but I can understand why you wouldn't want to walk there as a single girl maybe. Manzoni station is five minutes away, 15 minutes to the Colosseum and 10 or so to the Terminii. It is on the other side of town from some of the evening life, and the tube doesn't go everywhere but that's not to say there is nothing on that side of Rome also.

The room was clean and of regular size. We even had a nice balcony. Shower in the bathroom was rather small. Staff was great and very helpful. As other reviews indicated, a quick walk to Termini or the Coliseum was no problem. Hotel is not in the greatest neighborhood, so if travelling alone use caution.

The Hotel is reasonably priced but a little bit far away from the Termini. It is about 15-20 minutes walk. The room is clean though a little bit small but the shower is extremely weak. Overall, it is acceptable given the low price.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Ducale twice last November, first for 3 nights; we went south for a few days and then came back for 2 more nights. First, the price was very good for the hotel with breakfast included. On our last night the hotel made a car reservation for the airport for us and the guy was there exactly on time. That was 50 euros well spent. The hotel is 15 minutes from the train station. When exiting the station make a left and keep walking for about 12 minutes or so and then the street the hotel is on will be on your right and you should be able to see the sign from the main street. Location is so and so, not the best, not the worst. The minibar is only half way full, so you can store a few things of your own in the fridge. Also, the minibar prices are cheap. We kept getting stuff out of it every day. When we left for Capri we paid for the 3 days plus mini bar stuff and she didn't have the right change and did not charged us for a few items. The breakfast was OK, the only thing I did not like is that they were charging extra for cappuccino than for coffee, and since the breakfast is free, it should have just been free also. The guy at the reception during the day was fantastic. Every time you would ask for directions of any sort he would get out a map and mark the places and give you the maps. I wished I would have known that before. I bought a map of the city at the station for 5 euros. His were better (they were marked) and I still have them. The night clerk, a black guy was OK, a little bored all the time. Over all, for the price, more then OK and Rome is just as fantastic every time. A true joy. By far the most beautiful city on earth.
