My friend and I returned from Rome a week ago. We stayed in San Giusto. Before that I read many reviews and was a bit confussed since they gave such a different impression of the hotel. I myself was very happy with the San Giusto. The price was very good (last minute) - we paid EUR 335 for five nights for a double room. The hotel was nice and in a very good location. It takes about 7 -10 min by metro to go to main places in the centre of Rome. Breakfast was lovely, good selection of food, pleasant environment. Receptionsts were friendly (except the older man who was just doing his work - no complains about him) and smiling. The room was a bit small and, I should mention, not very clean (dust and some small things under beds or on the closet) but overall it was pretty good and had everything that's needed.
I would hardly recommend to go there and will probably chose it again if I go to Rome next time.

We stayed in the hotel for 9 days. The rooms were basically Okay, clean and safe.

The breakfast was good they have cold cuts, boiled eggs, pasteries, cereal, fruit and really good espresso.

The lobby is on the ground floor and the elevator is on the first floor. You have to carry your luggage up two flights yourself. They don't have anyone to help you.

The rooms had rotary-dial phones so I couldn't use my calling card (there are no touch tone phones in the hotel). I had to use my calling card at a payphone.

As I said the rooms were Okay but after a few nights we had to ask for fresh towels. (they just hang up your wet ones to dry) We stayed there 9 days and they didn't change our bed sheets.

The location is good. It's outside the central city, but there is a metro (subway) stop "Bologna" right around the corner of the hotel (Just 3 stops away from the coloseum). Along with several city buslines into the heart of rome including a bus that takes you to the vatican but that takes about 1 hour.

A supermarket occupies the building next to the hotel, so you can stock up on drinks, snacks, or buy deli products and make sandwiches. (Bring your own shopping bag!)

Overall I got what I paid for, so I was happy.

well, as always, you get what you pay for... the room and hotel itself was better than I expected for a 3 star in a european big city, its was very clean and nice overall, and the breakfast was indeed plentiful (if you don't get sick of meat)... but its not very convenient. The metro is just around the corner, but you have to take it to get to the sites of rome, whcih means its hard to return to the hotel for a little break and then go out again. we were forced to take a $20 taxi home each night becasue the italian restaurants are open only very late for dinner (usually our dinner ended around 10 to 11 pm) and the metro closes early (although no one really could tell us when it closed). but at least the taxi's were easy to flag down and good for our lazy bones at the end of full walking days in cold december.

most of the concierges were surly and less than helpful, but I blame mr. bush not the concierges. in fact we found the italians to have a general dislike for americans... not as friendly as I remember it on my last visit 7 years ago.

one bit of general advice: the train from termini station back to the airport may be 1/2 hour on extraordinary days but it took us 2 hours from hotel door to airport door... which meant the check-in counter was closed by the time we got to the airport (we still had 1 whole hour till the scheduled take-off) and the italian agents were completely unwilling to provide any alternative options. no kidding, they told us we were 4 minutes late and we should know better, as they all walked off chatting with each other... I think maybe they were late for their own lunch. we ending up flying out to london, staying for a couple days till we could find a cheap flight back to NYC. all in all, i won't return to italy for awhile, no matter how spectacular the architecture is.

but that said, Hotel San Giusto is clean and comfortable overall, and worth it if you get in in a package (discount) price.

The hotel was OK - but I can't get more excited about it than that.

We stayed in a triple room and the 3rd bed was a pull out - comfy enough for a few nights, but maybe not if you had a bad back. The room was pretty small so it was a bit cramped.

The bathroom was clean and the breakfast was OK (on until 10am which was good). When we arrived, the bedside tables looked like they hadn't been dusted for a good while and the electricity fused twice, so they had to send the porter up to fix it.

The review says the hotel is 1km from the Trevi and the Spanish Steps - maybe as the crow flies!!! The San Giusto is literally a minute from the Metro which is handy so it doesn't feel a million miles out, but it's a bit too far to come back and get changed for dinner if you have been out all day. we got taxis back and they cost about 10 Euros.

A word of warning - the lift doesn't come to the ground floor - you have to walk up a couple of flights of stairs to get it; which might make it a bit of a problem for the less able or those with big suitcases!

All in all, for £33 per night, it's reasonable, but I wouldn't stay there again. I would challenge the 3 star rating though....
