Budget hotel that delivers what it promises - it's not pretending to be a 5 star so you must go expecting that.
Location is great for the Termini as everyone else has said - it's a 3 minute walk. Don't get ripped off by a taxi who'll charge you €20 to take you to the hotel via the scenic route. Taxi from Leonardo Da Vinci (Flumincino) airport will be €40 flat rate if you book a cab. If you pick one up then who knows! The other airport €30.
It's about 15-20 minutes walk to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain. 40 minutes to the Campo De Fiori and 50 minutes to St Peters. The termini however is very well served by the regular buses. You can get a night bus to the Termini easily.
Area around Termini is nothing to worry about - if I had not heard this prior to going then I would not notice it. It's simply not as scenic as other areas of the city - but this is Rome!
We paid €10 p.p.p.n for the breakfast, which while buffet style and ample was not great quality and even in the touristy places around the hotel you'd probably get better. Not bad at all though. The green house with views over the area was nice as the weather was gorgeous.
Staff were very courteous - not a single issue there.
Negatives:
Not able to borrow iron and iron board from reception (although a daily ironing service is available).
Maid service seem to ignore so not disturb signs and make up the room anyway (we checked in late, crashed and did not think it was worth them coming in the next day as we had not really lived in the room)
Our room on the 5th floor seemed to be right under the breakfast room and therefore when they started setting up it was a bit loud (6-7) and the same when breakfast started (7-10.30).
Internet Access expensive (wifi in room) - listed on various websites are free in room. Seemed to be a free wired connection in room according to the literature, but no actual point to plug into (maybe we did not find it - the minibar was hidden away and we only found it on our last day)
