Location :- 10 minutes walk from Termini Station
Main Door on Via Palestro across the street from the British Embassy and close to other embassies.
My experience .
Booked on line in a hurry and had no choice as most hotels in the area were full. Asked for a double room . Got two single beds pushed together to make a double. My wife found this very upsetting as she prefers to sleep close to the centre of the bed and she kept ending up on the edge of the mattress which was a bit worn out .It did not help her backpain . Pillows were flat by my standard and only two per room.
The lift is very small , like many hotels in Rome, and only holds 2 persons in comfort. The firts floor is not served by the lift .
The first room which I stayed in , was one of the smallest double I have ever seen. Just enough room to stand tightly around a double bed.The same can be said about the bathroom, so small that I had to go out of it to dry myself with the towel.Towels are paper thin and only two a day are provided. Not enough if a couple take two showers a day.
Talked to the reception and was immediately offered and accepted a very nice room on the first floor which was twice the size of the first , with a reasonably sized bathroom.
Only used the room to sleep, as spent most time out .
Good points : -
1) Receptionists, are older gentlemem who offer good advice and help to all enquiries.
2)Buffet breakfast served at 0700 till 1000 was fair and service was clean.
3)Hotel area is safe , due to patrols by Embassy Security across the road.
4)Well served by the buses just round the corner , which take you to the Vatican and all the Piazzas .
5)Reasonable priced 130 euros for a double .
6) Rooms clean and recently refurbished with double glazed windows and air conditioned .
All this was taken in stride , and the Hotel served its purpose,as a base for a short weekend in Rome centre.
Unlikely but , If and IF I ever book again, I would ensure that I get a large room, not a squeezed room, and get better towels .
I wrote this , to help anyone , but mostly the Management of the hotel, who could fix most of these small problems and make the Brasile a true 3 star Hotel , from the 2 Star which I would rate it , due to these problems.

Without a doubt, the worst place we've ever stayed. Surly night clerk, bed bugs, dirty rooms, a wait staff that recycles uneaten rolls back into the basket for the next guest to eat, an electric system that requires the key to be placed in a slot in the room in order for the lights to work (which means that if more than one person is sharing the room there is a distinct possibility of getting locked out!), and inconveniently location.

The hotel was very tight, the narrow hallway, the miniscule lift and small room and bathroom. The room felt old and dingy, and if we opened the window in the bathroom a weird smell came in. Our room faced the back. The towels were exactly like dinner napkins, or tablecloth. You could hear people in the bathroom next door.
The immediate area seemed seedy and abandoned, but perhaps only because we arrived after dark. We had to leave at 6am the next morning so we didn't get to check out the breakfast.
The evening concierge was a nice older man, who offered to make us espressos in the morning before we left, but we didn't have time in the end.

Just returned from a four-night stay in Rome. Hotel Brasile was clean and beatifully furnished but the room was very small. One could hardly manage to use the shower! The towels were replaced daily with clean ones but they were thin like tissue paper.
Breakfast consisted of one type of ham and cheese, coffee / tea/ juices, 3 types of cereals, pastries, and preserved fruit. Breakfast can surely be improved!
Location is 10 minutes from Termini Station very close to Porta Pia.
Staff were always ready to help.
