Cleanliness: EXTREMELY clean. Room was spotless when we arrived and was made up each day.
Size: Small but on par with other European hotels. Bathroom was actually more spacious than the last hotel I stayed in in Italy.
Location: Not the greatest location in reference to main attractions but very close to the metro so it was easy to get everywhere we needed to go. About 7 minutes walk from Termini and just around the corner to one of the blue line stops on the metro.
Staff: Very nice, allowed us to check in early when we arrived at 10am, had a bottle of spumante waiting in our room when we arrived because it was our anniversary.
Air conditioning: Not so good. My boyfriend had a travel thermometer with him and the temperature actually went up while we had the air on. We inquired at the front desk and were informed that it only works between 9pm and 12am. It was 9:30 at the time so it should have been working, but we never really got it to cool much while we were there. It wasn't bad with the windows open at night but I would imagine that it's not so pleasant in July or August. I don't think that a hotel should advertise that it has air conditioning if it doesn't.
Value: Very inexpensive compared to most places in Rome
Other: Very nice roof terrace for enjoying a bottle of wine after a long day of walking. Also, bed was 2 twins pushed together but wasn't very noticible.
Overall: Would recommend to anyone looking for a good value

we stayed in this hotel for 4 nights. it was recommended by a friend who had stayed there 2 years. i was a little sceptical after reading some of the reviews but i need not have worried. we had asked for a quite room when booking so we stayed at the building next door to the main hotel. it was on the 2nd floor and had quiet air conditioning, shutters on the windows, double glazing so was very quiet. we had tv, fridge, safe, hair dryer. the room was spotless. breakfast was in the main hotel which is a 10second walk away. typical continental but adequate. breakfast area is small but there is a large roof terrace to which you can bring your tray. you can also sit here during the day and evening, perfect for after dinner or pre dinner drinks (you can bring your own). staff were very helpful and friendly. location - 5-10 minutes walk from main bus/train/metro station (termini) and 2 minuest from castro pretorio metro. the red (a) and blue (b) line both leave from termine and the blue line from castro pretorio. metro is a cheap and fast way to travel around the city. €4 for a day pass for bus and metro. it can get crowded at rush hour but we could cope with this as we were only on for a few stops. the hotel is in a quiet street but there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. we ate at mama angela's 2 nights. our room cost €108 per night for B&B and i thought this was reasonable for the quality of this accomodation in rome. i would recommend taking a guided tour when seeing the colosseum, roman forum and palatine. you can pick up a tour from the front of the colosseum for €22 including entrance tickets.

I had booked this hotel for my family’s first time holiday in Rome. We travelled with our 2 teenage girls and we simply loved it. We were given a spacious and comfortable “red” family room on the 4th floor, as requested, nicely furnished in a classic style. The room was richly decorated by antique paintings and lamp.

The perfect central location of the hotel and its proximity to the metro added to its value: You can reach the Coliseum in just 10 minutes!

The staff was very friendly and we our 4 night stay was just great. Their recommendations for local places to eat were excellent. The only downside about this hotel is that they don't have free local calling and internet access.

Anyway we would stay there again!

I stayed at this hotel just over a week ago, and it is unfortunate that I feel the need to write this review. My husband and I checked in around 4 pm at night, and the clerk, Andreas, checked us in. He demanded that we give him 10 Euros for us to put down for a key deposit. He was not very friendly. I also found it unusual that we had to pay in full upon arrival. The rooms were fine, it was fairly quiet and peaceful, and we shared a bathroom which was not too bad. The problem we had was when we checked out, a different (and kind) employee helped us. We asked him for our deposit back, and he looked confused. They have this binder that they have all the deposits from other people full of 10 euros, but ours was not in there. He said they dont take deposits for this kind of room. He said he would get the manager to email us. She actualy walked in while we were leaving, and he told her what happened. She yelled at him and was VERY rude to us, and said that they dont take deposits for our type of room. We understood that they dont normally take these deposits, but they did from us and we just wanted our money back, instead we were treated with very little courtesy or respect. She told us shed talk to Andreas and email us back, but we never recieved anything. Overall, I wouldnt recommend staying here because, in hindsight, its only 10 Euros, but what happens when more money goes missing, youll likely be dismissed as we were.
