We stayed in the City Guest House from 16th-19th Jan and had a great stay. We were given the choice of two rooms, one was an upgrade on the 5th floor, we took this room as it was more modern and looked like it had been refurbished.

As people have already said the hotel is only about 15mins by metro to the city centre, the metros where frequent, think the longest we had to wait was 4 mins! We also got a taxi from the centre of Rome one night and it was EUR16. The other nights we got the metro home and felt safe walking about the local area.

There is a restaurant right beside the hotel, we wished we had got the hotel to book a table as we went here on the Saturday night and had no mission of getting a table, the food looked amazing, very disappointed that we couldn't get a table. we walked around the local neighborhood and found another restaurant where we got a really good meal.

We had breakfast in the hotel one morning, it was fine, but for EUR5 you could get better in central Rome.

Overall I would recommend this hotel for someone on a budget in Rome, the rooms are clean, its easy to get to with the metro and the rate that we got was excellent.

Excellent basic hotel. Clean and tidy. Room cleaned everyday. Breakfast is adequate. Not far form nearest metro and only a short ride to the city centre.

The Hotel was good. It is not to far from the center and it is very close to the metro.
Good one.

Getting there:

This place is less than 5 minutes to walk to the closest metro station on Line A, Numido Quattro.

Location

It's 15 mins from Spagna (Spanish steps) and 30 mins from the Vatican on the Metro. We didn't really spend much time around the hotel , but as we only wanted a place to crash, this was ideal that by metro we could get to all the tourist spots very quickly.
It seemed quite resedential and I wouldn't advise anyone to walk around alone over here late at night, but that goes for anywhere.

Rooms

Spacious but basic. The tv didn't produce a clear picture eventhough one of the staff tried there best to get it to work. The shower is compact but powerful.

Staff

All friendly and helpful

Other Amenities:

They have a bookcase of tourist books (Eyewitnes guides) etc that you can sign out and use for your stay. They have guides on other places in Italy if you fancy going to Florence for the day. They were a bit old though as we noticed one book quoting prices in Lira.

They have a computer downstairs for guests to use, never needed it myself but other people found it useful.

Overall

This was a good place for the price and ideal if you just want somewhere to crash and travel into the main areas by metro in under 15 mins
