We stayed for 5 nights in the Marconi in August 2008 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If you have money to spare you would probably prefer to stay somewhere more central as the termini area is a bit "rough", although not half as bad as some people have described and I never felt unsafe.
We booked with Hotel Connect and got 5 nights for £240.00 (bed and breakfast at Marconi) - absolute bargain.
The hotel is about a 2 minute walk from the termini and 20 minute walk from the Colossuem. We hardly ever used the metro as is was so nice to walk everywhere.
The Marconi was very clean, and the staff very helpful when we asked any questions. The room was not too small either and the bathrroms looked quite new. It has tea/coffee making facilities, a safe, a hairdryer, TV, radio and a mini fridge which is a great touch - we bought drinks from local stores and stored them to keep cool. the drinks they supply in the mini fridge were about 2 Euro each - which actually is not bad considering prices in Rome generally! The air-con worked and there was plenty of wardrobe/drawer space for clothes etc. Beds perfectly comfy and we never had any problems with noise from other guests or outside.
Also they supply great maps of Rome for free in reception- better than any of the ones the guide books we bought had.
Breakfasts were good - bread, croissants, youghurt, cereal, fruit, tea, coffee, juice, ham, cheese - what more could you want.?
I would absolutely reccomend Marconi Hotel and would definitely stay there again.
