Good, clean and friendly hotel. Air con included and good sized rooms. Instant and powerful hot shower, plenty of storage but no safe. However there is a safe at reception.
Like most hotels in Rome, there are 3 different hotels in the same building but on different floors. Shops/cafes on the ground floor and hotels above. This one was on the 3rd floor, however there is a lift.
Breakfast was included and consisted of cereal; Pastries; salami; rolls; cheese; fruit juice - buffet style.
Good area with coffee bar close by if needed. You can pick up filled rolls from Termini train station downstairs in the supermarket on the right. They are half the price of anywhere else and freshly made each day.
Also a good idea to get a Roma pass for 3 days, you will get your money back if you only do the Colosseum; Paladin and the metro there and back to the Vatican.
Book Vatican tickets on-line direct with them. Only 4 euros each more and you skip the queues and can pick up a guide book inside for 8 euros that you can take with you!
Be careful of ordering tea and coffee outside of breakfast times, you will get charged for it, however it is only 2 euros so not expensive and the staff are very helpful.
We will stay there again when we return!

there was a sign outside the hotel that said "fawlty towers", we had booked into the marco polo as it was close to train station. no air con as they turn it off after winter!! we asked for a fan, it never came. my wife saw one in the hallway near the dining room and took it. The dining room was small, the meat and cheese were not kept cool. when you press the button for hot water you got sprayed by it.
the fridge in the rooms did not keep the drinks cold enough.
The toilet in our room was so close to the shower, if a big person had to use it well......

It's very difficult find an hotel like that. It is comfortable and welcoming, the service is flawless and the hotel manager is a really funny person!!! you have always what you want, each member of the staff is kind and wedded to work, if you have a problem the staff try to solve it, they are helpful and wait with each guest.
Rooms are wonderful, comfortable, squared up and cleaned.
I trust a sensation of hearth coming in the hotel, during your stay you became a member of marco polo's family and it is fantastic!!!
I love this hotel and surely I will come back again!!!

As stated, a stay to remember. A few steps from the center of Rome, within walking distance. Staff friendly and always available for any need. Clean and lovely structure.
