We had booked this trip, 10 days, months in advance with travelocity. So we get to the hotel and and we are in this big lavish sweet. Later that night, they tell us they have to move us to another room, becuase they over-booked, and didn't have enough room. So we thought, ok. We had also brought an extra person on this trip. We had called the hotel and travelocity. This person speaks Italian, so we made sure she called to verify, months in advance. So they say that they are going to charge us 500eu for the extra 9 days. This was not acceptable, because we had paid extra for this person through travelocity. They said there is nothign they can do. So we are up in our other room on the 4th floor. Later morning the next day, the person at the desk told us that there was a ripped curtain, and we were going to have to pay 100eu for the curtain. We did not rip this curtain, we had just gotten into the room. So that was our bad stay with the hotel. There were some good things. The cleaning service was nice. The workers were nice for the most part. The breakfast was typical Italian breakfast- light. The hotel is ok in location. It takes about 10-15 min to walk to the nearest metro, which isn't bad. I would love to say we loved the hotel, but there we just some of these issues.

My wife and I were passing through Rome for only 1 night, so we decided to stay at this Hotel. With 4 suitcases, the journey to the Hotel from the Subway was the not the most pleasant. It is quite a way from the station but once you arrive at the Hotel, all of our frustration seemed to disappear. The check-in went smooth, we were helped to our room, and the whole Hotel was rather nice. The rooms were quiet, the Bathroom was very clean, but the beds weren't the best. I am over 6' tall, so my legs hung over the end. I'm used to this, as most Italians aren't as tall us.

The breakfast in the morning was excellent, fresh fruit, cereal, cold meats and cheese, and fresh pastries. We decided after the long walk from the subway with 4 bags that we would take a cab to the train station as we were off to Venice.

I would recommend this Hotel to anyone who wants a good nights sleep who doesn't mind being away from the Downtown of this quite large city.

We have just returned from a 9- night stay. The room was clean and pleasant with full bathroom and bidet. It had electronic room key but was a little bijou. There was a free room-safe and relatively cheap mini-bar (e.g. wine 3eu, water 1eu) .The room and hotel were quiet even though we were next to the lift.
It is only 500 metres from Bologna Metro but if you have cases, Rome’s metro stations do not have an all-escalator exit. If you pre-book in UK you can get from Ciampino airport to Termini Station for 10euro return per person by Terravision Coach! Don’t be put off by the somewhat drab walk to the hotel, worse when shops are closed and graffiti on the shutters is very visible.
The rooms all have SKY TV but before you get excited only one channel, BBC WORLD is in English!
The sixth floor restaurant (for breakfast only) is excellent and has good views across the suburbs. Fare includes hot and cold drinks, an abundance of fruit, yoghurt, bread, cereal, meat and cheese and the attentions of a very good waitress/manager.
There is no restaurant or bar.
The friendly reception staff all speak English and when the Hotel (which is only 8 years old) has a major refurbishment in November there will be more facilities including a ground floor bar. You can get to all the main tourist sites from one of the two metro lines starting at Line B at Bologna and it’s very cheap, too.
There are very few restaurants in the immediate area but one stands out; The “Restaurant Chines” only 150 metres north of the hotel on Piazza del Province at which you can get a superb well –cooked and appetising ‘banquet’ including drinks all for around 12 euros each!
Whist on the subject of restaurants ; a tip worth knowing is that McDonalds have restaurants right by the Spanish Steps and immediately in front of the Pantheon. A good cappuccino is 1eu and an ice cream cone a mere 50 cents. Don’t be put off by the stereotype, the Spanish Steps Restaurant is palatial and the Pantheon offers the best seats overlooking the square.
If you hire a car, at present there is FREE mid-street parking provided you can tolerate the frantic Italian driving!
Altogether a good holiday experience based in a small but comfortable hotel.

This hotel was absolutely amazing. The staff was very friendly, and offered advice about what to do and how to do it. However, the hotel is a 30 minute walk from Termini, and about an hour walk from the Spanish Steps. (This made our nights rather quiet - being outside of the city center). We were able to walk for the first two days of our stay, but for the following three days we bought the Roma pass (which included a subway/bus pass) and used that. There is a bus stop nearby and a subway station about 4 blocks away. The hotel room was very spacious for a European room, and everything in the room was immaculate. Also, the towels in the bathroom were laundered every day. Finally, the best part was the breakfast. We had booked this hotel after reading the reviews on this site, and some reviewers were not impressed with the breakfast. However, we felt that it was more than sufficient to carry us through dinner. It included juice, coffee, tea, bread, cereal, yogurt, deli meats and fresh fruits. Overall, we had an amazing stay here and would recommend it to anyone that wouldn't mind being outside of the city center.
