Just stayed here for three nights. For some reason, we weren't in the actual hotel but given an apartment which was 15 minutes away from the hotel. The apartment was clean......but the location wasn't great. I think its in Italy's China-town or something. The apartment was secure though with three doors that had to be unlocked before even getting to our apartment door. BUT..........it just wasnt that great. It was clean but the tv would only stay on if you jammed a piece of paper into the on button. The towels were absurdly thin.....like what I use as dish rags. We had no hot water for two days. Walking to the breakfast at the hotel wasnt worth it so we just got some pastries at a local cafe. I also didnt like carrying keys while in Rome and the key to the apartment was huge.

I dont think I would stay here again. It is cheap......but I can't say I enjoyed it. Rome is just so expensive........so I guess its a good place if you want to save some money. Just dont expect a lot! I think Id try somewhere else!

Hotel San Paolo Roma Roma via Panisperna 95 00184 Roma, Italy Telephone Number: 06/4745213-06/4745217. My wife and I spent 3 nights at the above hotel. It was a small Pensione, and we stayed in one of the shared bath double rooms. Like many small hotels in Rome, it is up a few sets of stairs, and seems like a dorm if you have a shared bathroom. The shared bath double room we had was simple small and very clean with a sink right in the room and a nice new tiled floor. The three-shared bathrooms were also modern and very clean with ample hot water. This place was perfect with prices from 60-100 Euros it was a real bargain for those looking for clean no frills lodging. Several families were also at this hotel and they seemed happy.The only complaint was that the web site said all the rooms had a fan, and they did not. Perhaps these are available in July or August, but despite the web site they said they did not have them. Like Romans do, we left our window facing the back street open and slept well, only shutting the windows when the birds started chirping.The hotel is located near the train station near Santa Mario Maggiore Basilica and just a few blocks away from all of ancient Rome and the handy #70 bus line on a quiet street. We walked from Termini. Ask for a room in the back if you want a very quiet stay. If you want a private bathroom, ask for one of these larger rooms. The windows were double paned with handy metal doors to block out the sun and provide an extra layer of sound protection. This is really a Pensione, but it was a great cheap pick for our Roman holiday near everything.
