We arrived from Barcelona 3/14 and made our way to the Ara Pacis by hired car. The Hotel entrance was difficult to find - dark entrance leading to an elevator with the lobby of the hotel being on the 2nd floor. We checked in and were taken to our room fairly quickly - up and around a few sets of stairs - The room was dismal to say the least. Wallpaper was peeling off the walls and what paint you could see was absolutely filthy, the bed was sunken in the middle and after pulling back the sheets we saw that they were a dirty gray colour. The doors leading to the balcony did not have any locks (this was an open balcony serving several rooms on our floor) This did not match the lovely pictures we saw on their website by any means. So we asked for another room and explained why we did not care for the present one. We were shown room number 2 - which was actually worse than the first one, now off to room number 3 which was off the sitting/lounge area from the lobby. This was a tad cleaner (but not by much) so we brought the suitcases down and I checked out the bed - upon looking up there was a separation between the door and the door frame with a perfect view of the
lounge area. We had enough, left the hotel found another and returned for our baggage and to check out. At this point they tried to show us yet another room (which would have been #4) we declined and said they were falsely advertising on their website and we would be addressing it when we returned home. So here it is. The hotel is a solid one star or below if that's possible.

Only by case we discovered this hotel.
We arrived in Rome by car and we passed by the hotel and we decided to ask for a family room.
They were very helpful and the location and the price given was very convenient.
Excellent staff, they helped us to park the car and more during our stay.
The room was big as well as the bathroom.We were impressed of the beautiful ceiling dated 18Th Century.
We walked from the Hotel to the Vatican, the Spanish Steps, Navona Square and so on..all was very close to us.
We liked our stay, we were lucky to find this hotel!

During our recent stay in Italy we have been travelling to Rome and we spent 3 days in this lovely hotel.
It has a great location and we had a big family room.The hotel is really comfortable and we loved our stay.
The breakfast is rich and perfect to start a long day in town.
Helpful staff.Thanks Claudio at the front desk for all.

I think the location of the hotel is great, it is in the centre of most things and within walking distance to most of the main sites.
The room was very dark and dingy, with very little lighting and in need of decoration. The rooms were clean and linen was changed daily, but the staff were not very helpful and the breakfast could have been better.
There were no views of rome from the hotel, like shown in pictures on the hotels own website.
Ideal place to stay if you are not after the little luxuries in life, like a cooked breakfast or decent cup of coffee/tea!!

The hotel is well-placed for sight-seeing, especially for the Vatican. However, I think the hotel is cashing in on its location and is over-priced for the facilities offered. The hotel corridors are dingy and the whole place needs decorating. The entrance to the hotel does not feel safe, particularly at night-time.
The staff are surly and do not offer help willingly. The room was much smaller than shown on the website, and the bathroom was little more than a cupboard. Breakfast was mediocre. The hotel should not be graded as a 3 star.
