Have just returned today from a long-weekend stay at this hotel.

As far as 3 star hotels go, this wasn't a great one. While the rooms were clean and well decorated, the air conditioning was poor (the requests to reception to turn it up fell on deaf ears) and 2 days running our used towels were taken and not replaced...requiring more visits to reception. We also had to leave a 20 euro deposit in order to have the tv remote controls, which was returned at the end of the stay.

Beware of the strange bathroom setup, a shower inbetween the toilet and basin, in a tiny little room, with no defined space of its own...everything gets wet!

As mentioned in other reviews, the breakfast is poor - consisting of either a bread roll or croissant and instant machine-made tea and coffee (why on earth would you go to Italy for Cappucino and end up drinking from an instant coffee machine...uurgh!). Eat elsewhere would be our advice...

Also, a word of warning about the location...it is a run down area and next door to the hotel is a 'Live Music Venue'. Each night music was played until 2am - loudly. So loudly in fact, that we believed it to be coming from the next room until further investigation revealed the source.

On a more positive note, the staff were all very friendly especially the gentleman who worked the night shift, and all spoke very good english.

The hotel was reasonably well placed for transport links and there is a good restuarant around the corner (turn right outside the hotel and right again), the decor is basic but the food is very good and cheap.....

Overall, we would describe our stay here as 'ok' but would only use it again as a last resort. We have stayed in better 3 star hotels that are more centrally located, but it was clean and safe and I guess you could probably do worse.

This hotel is basic: clean, close to the metro, and the people are friendly and helpful in English. Easy walking distance to many toursit places: Shelley's grave, St Pauls, and the catacombs. No internet connections in the hotel, but a friendly internet store is 2 doors away. I had a Great time!

I found the bathroom/shower functional and had no problems at all with it. The breakfasts are skimpy. I'd advise eating at a local bar.

I enjoyed it and would stay there again.

after reading the reviews on tripadvisor before booking i was comfortable with booking this hotel. The worst thing about the hotel were the 2 young girls on the reception during the day they new absolutely nothing about rome and were quiet rude and unhelpful.this seemed strange as there was nothing but praise for the staff in previous reviews on here.i think they must be about the older gentlemen on the door at night.he was extremely helpful.
the hotel itself is in a pretty seedy area .the area is quiet dirty .but we walked around at midnight back from bus station many times and had no problems. the room itself is ok the wet floor bathroom takes a bit of getting used to but the water pressure is good. the air conditioning can only be controlled(temp,on/off) from the reception and after a scorching day in rome to come back to a stinking hot room is not real good.they must turn it off the minute you walk out the door.
the location is quiet good .the metro is a 10 minute walk were you can get the metro or buses pretty much everywhere . there is another bus stop pretty much around the corner from hotel which will take you to vatican city in 10 mins .
there is a great salad restaurant around corner from hotel with a huge choice of different stuff. there is also a great gelato place ( turn left at burger king,walk down under the bridge and its on the left after the 1 st cafe you come to) which are made onsite daily.he was making gelato as we entered shop and wanted us to try nearly every flavour before we bought anything .it was really really nice fresh gelato
the breakfast........well we only made it to breakfast once in 4 days due to our desire to get out early and get some great photos without 1000 tourists in the way.imagine a photo in front of trevi fountain with no one else but myself and girlfriend in it !!! getting back to the breakfast we had it on our last day and it was horrible we didnt even bother to eat it. the bread rolls were stale and that was at 630am
so all in all you get what you pay for .

Very basic hotel with a good balance price/confort. Rooms medium sized and with air conditioned, satellite TV, phone and frigo. Small shower room with and they have no separation between shower and WC (so you "rain" all WC!!).
Very basic breakfest, only tea or coffe and bread, honey, marmelade and butter and a juice.
Closed to Pyramid metro station (2 stops from Colosseo) and Ostia Train Station (direct to Fiumicino). The metro is about 10 minutes walk.
The area is not a beautifful one, with old buildings and not very clean but tho Hotel is OK. You have a Burger King just on the corner and some pizzas and restaurants closed to.
The staff is very very friendly and help everything you need.
Is a budget hotel and I will be ther another time!

I booked three nights at this hotel and have never been more uncomfortable in a hotel ever.
Location - near Pyramide Metro stop (5-10min walk) - have a look on a map of Rome and you will see how far out of the centre this is. As other people have mentioned the area is not the most desirable at night, did manage to find a couple of nice restaurants within walking distance, but as Metro's don't run too late, if you are heading into City Centre then expect to get a taxi back if you are having a late one.
Hotel - entrance is up a side street, very basic reception which I don't have a problem with. I did, however, have a problem with the room. Very basic with only an ensuite shower/toilet room. Found it a bit shabby and run down - I think it actually looks worse than the pictures on this site. After one day in the room both myself and partner developed a red rash on our arms and legs which I assume was from the bed sheets or possibly shower. Never experienced anything like this in any other hotel and made for a very uncomfortable stay.
I personally would not stay in this hotel again if they paid me. Yes it was cheap (about £40.00 per night) but I guess you get what you pay for!
