My boyfriend and I are a little astonished to read the reviews. I think all of the bad reviews are from people who are accustomed to staying at the Hilton, which this is not. What it is however is very small, quaint, beautiful, b&b with lots of character. We too were a little apprehensive upon arriving as the outside of the building looked a little less inviting than expected. We made our way to the lobby and were surprised when entering as we were cheerfully greeted and the lobby was beautifully decorated and spectacularly clean.
We were only booked to stay 3 nights, and asked for an additional night. The first room we stayed in was UNREAL (by unreal I mean it was clean, beautiful, nice artwork and bedspreads, with a GREAT little view). Try to ask for the 1st room, its the best one! The last night we were relocated to a different room which wasn't as pleasant (the window was unreachable).
We loved our experience here, we grew quite found of the late night concierge whom we nicknamed Frankenstein (he looked and spoke like him but VERY nice). We hope he still works there.
My boyfriend and I do think outside of the box. We don't care about people kissing our [--] or wi-fi internet connections. We just want real charm (aside from what my vocabulary may allude to).
I would recommend this place to almost anyone. But like I said before, try to stay in the very 1st room, most likely room #1. Its the best room in the joint.
Also, a great location, bank is right across the way. Bring your walking shoes there is a lot in the big city to see.
Don't bring travelers checks, they stink and no one takes them.

When we first arrived at the hotel my girlfriend told the taxi driver to keep on driving becuase from the outside it looked a bit grotty.

However, once inside the Munster's front gate we walked up the stairs and the hotel, which only has a few rooms, was quite nice. You can't really see out the windows but the bathroom was good and we enjoyed the better than average TV selection.

The breakfast was a nice touch as it is brought to the room on a nice tray at a pre agreed time. Breakfast consisted of croissants, yoghurts, packed toast jams etc, tea/coffee, fruit juice (STAY AWAY FROM THE JUICE).

Bed was comfy and the free electonic safe was a result.

Location is a bit out of the centre but you can get to the trevi fountain in 20mins if you know the route.

Overall we had an excellent visit to Rome even after a twelve hour flight delay and the hotel was fine for us but we are very unfussy and students. The bottom line is in Rome the people, sights, food and culture are so special that no hotel should alter that.

This is not really a hotel - more like a B&B. The staff are helpful and did their best to accommodate our requests but we had chosen the place based on the description on venere.com saying that there was wi-fi in the rooms. There was no internet (not even dial-up) and this created a big problem for our work. They knew that it was vital to our stay and so they kindly let us use their work station but this was also the reception desk and so it was a bit awkward. The room was v small and the bed was v uncomfortable (too hard) so we tossed and turned for 2 nights. A few things were broken (toilet flush was all cracked and the electricity sockets by the bed didn't work) and this was a bit disappointing for the price.

It is a wonderful little inn with just six perfectly served rooms..I loved my stay!
It is very close to the heart of rome..15 minutes walking from Trinita dei Monti,5 minutes from the Termini station.

Read the posts on this hotel before going so was quite aprehensive. First thing is that you can easily walk from the Termini without getting on the metro. Start as you mean to go on as you will be doing alot of walking! When we arrived we got the lift up to the first floor (the only time we actually used it!). Yes it is old and the bell is annoying but hey, when in Rome!! The hotel is very small, only 6 bedrooms so don't expect anything on a grand scale. Saying that, when we arrived (around 12.30pm) we were shown to a twin-bedded room. When we asked if we could have a double they immediately showed us to another room. Only downside to this room was that the window was about 12 foot off the ground so no view at all unless you are a basketball player!! Also the air-con didn't work but both of these were not big problems. Bathroom was more than adequate with a shower etc with hot water on demand. Breakfast was ok, croissants, sweet rolls and dried toast, jams and butter choice of tea or coffee. Set us up nicely for the day. The hotel is pretty central and the buses are brilliant. I would not say it is really near to any of the major sites but everywhere is so easily accessable, no more than 30 mins walk or 10 mins bus ride. Would recommend this hotel as a good base, we just showered and slept here!!
