I stayed in this hotel the last week of May 2008: single room 130 euros per night. My room had no view and was just a bed, a chair and a bathroom. Small tv and closet. But it was clean and totally quiet, and if you love ancient Rome you can't beat the location.
It's across the street from the main entrace to the Roman Forum, tucked away on a quiet cobblestone backstreet off the east side of the Via Fori Imperiali. It's a 4 minute walk north from the Colosseo metro station.
The staff were friendly and professional. Breakfast buffet from 7am to 10 am comes with the room, with boiled eggs and fruit and meats. There is an elevator.
A traditional budget restaurant nearby is Osteria Nerone, up Nero's hill above the Colosseum. Another night I ate at Cafe La Biga, which directly overlooks the Colosseum.
If you don't need anything fancy but just want a safe, simple, clean place to stay I recommend it. I would definitely stay here again, trying to get a slightly nicer looking room. I just hope it doesnt upgrade and turn into some unaffordable boutique hotel!

We chose this hotel due to location to most/all major Rome sites. It is 10-min if that from the Colosseo Metro stop and 2 stops from the Roma Termini train station. This means you are centrally located to all major sites (excluding Vatican however use the Metro if you dont want to walk 30-45min to get there) Some luxury tourists may scoff at its location in a side street and its less than posh front desk but what hides behind it are very nice rooms, clean, slightly small but good for 2-people who arent going to spend more than sleeping hours in it. Also has a mini-bar (semi-stocked) for your own items.

Breakfast consists of breads, meats, fruits, yogurts, cereals and cafes served by very pleasant staff. The front desk staff were helpful and allowed us to practice our Italian - albeit very limited. I never felt the staff was demeaning or against us as Americans (we live in Eu. though)

The rooftop garden (patio really) needs to be requested access at the front desk to open the rain doors. Its a nice pleasant and relatively quiet place to be from the hub-bub below.

Most hotels in the 'inner ring' of Roma will be expensive but this one fit our budget and we'd choose it again.

This is a terrific, reasonably-priced place to stay. I would have given it five stars but the one flaw was that the beds were hard. This was solved by requesting more pillows, which were provided immediately.

The hotel is clean, quiet, very-well maintained and very close to a lot of the things you want to see as a tourist in Rome. At this place, you are just steps away from the Forum and Colosseum, and it's a quick walk to the Metro. The breakfast that's provided in the morning is just enough to get you out the door with some energy.

I would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend it. This was my second trip to Rome.

Like in most mid-priced places in Italy, the shower stalls are small, so just take that into account. I really did like this place a lot and am glad to have stayed there.

We stayed here for 3 nights that were terrible! I must first say the benefit was the location, the roof top view was incredible at night (when they would actually let you up there), and Pietro who served breakfast and drinks. Pietro was very kind and so helpful to all of us.
To start off, we were told that there was ample parking for us. Were in a group with 9 cars. Well, were were stuck in their alley way blocking cars that were none to pleased with us. This was the unpleasant end to trying to locate the hotel. After no help from the hotel, we located places to park around/near the hotel. The next day we checked on the cars only to find that 2 of them had been towed. The hotel made a phone call in which they were not willing to translate! Lucky for us we had someone in our group that spoke fluent Italian. $600 US dollars later we got them back.
Check in was very confusing and the gentleman did not seem to care for Americans. He seemed to be very demeaning at every opportunity throughout our stay. We learned not to ask him for anything!
Our room was a triple that was very cramped but a pretty room. The view from the room was the gorgeous! The last day that we were there the group began talking and realized that all of us had noticed mysterious bites on us....bed bugs!!! Yes, bed bugs! We spoke with the front desk with no attempt to assist us or concern. One member of the group also had a necklace stolen from the room while we were gone to dinner. We were gone about 2 hours at the fabulous restaurant around the corner!
Nonetheless, we abruptly checked out and contacted our hotel in Sorrento and took off. We didn't care if we had to pay for the last night or not.
I do not recommend this hotel at all unless changes have been made. It took 3 weeks and medication to treat the bites. I loved seeing the Vatican, roman forum, and coliseum yet I wish we would have known all of this before hand.
