The lift was not working on the day I arrived and to carry a heavy suitcase to the 2nd floor on a really hot day is not nice! One of the male staff at reception was moody and unfriendly! The vending machine in the hotel doesn not give change! My room and the bathroom facilities were ok! Although the fridge in the room was not working and only few coat hangers in the wardrobe! The tv channels are all in Italian so if you do not understand Italian what are you mean to do? The air conditioning in my room was set to a fixed level which can`t be increased past a certain level, which didn`t help on a hot night to get to sleep, so i had to leave open the door leading onto the balcany! One of the lights kept flickering at night time in my room so annoying! Other guests in the hotel slam doors and talk loud! One of the guests on a balcony nearby was siiting with his underpants only-not a pleasant sight! Breakfast gets crowded with people all trying to get food at same time!One man at breakfast sat there for 10 mins peeling differant fruits to create himself a fruit salad and poured yogurt over it-odd! The area outside the hotel feels unsafe, feels like Brixton London, bit like a ghetto. As you walk out the hotel you must be careful with taxis,cars and scooters driving really fast past you, i was concerned I might get knocked down or mugged! If you want to reach central rome, you need to get a train from the train station which is 5 mins walk from the hotel! But the station is all vandalised with graffiti and you feel uneasy using it!

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. It was very easy to get to from Flaminio Station. The nearest station to the hotel was La Celsa which was 20 minutes on the train but you do have to ring the bell for it to stop or it goes to the next stop but not alot of difference in the distance to the hotel. The hotel seemed a little "tired" but it was comfortable. In our room it seemed to need a bit of an update - Room 305, one of the walls was dirty but the bathroom was spotless, plenty of toilet roll and toiletries. The room was right next door to the lift and was quite noisy until about midnight! AUnfortunately there was nothing to eat in the evening but you could get a drink from the bar and sit in reception where there are comfy sofas. Internet was 1.50 euro for half an hour. There was a snack machine down here as well. The trains start running at 6.30am and there is a main road by the side. Breakfast was excellent - plenty of coffee, croissants, rolls, cheese, hams, yoghurts, fruit. It was not the best hotel I have stayed in but it was comfortable and easy to get to Rome from. The reception staff I found very helpful indeed.

Male staff not at all helpful. The hotel is out of the way from anywhere there was nothing to do or see from the hotel. The restaurant if they have one was not open . You needed a train ticket to get to centre Rome which only hotel had and they had no change for a 10 euro note(disgusting in my opinion) So we had to walk a long way to find a shop to get change then further to get next station. Hotel room was on 3rd floor. the life only accommodates 2 people so if you have luggage have to do it in 2 gos. The staIrways are dangerous, the handrails are coming away from the wall. No toilet rolls in room, Cleaners did not leave any. Embarrasing to have to ask for it. The choice for breakfast was very very limited. I expected much more. The bed was very very uncomfortable mattress sank when you lied in it and stayed like it. WOULD NEVER GO THERE AGAIN
MOST UNFRIENDLY HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN AND I HAVE TRAVELLED THE WORLD. Having said this ROME is a smashing place to visit.

On my next trip to Rome I will be staying here again! I loved our room - top storey which over looked the neighbourhood. The bed was super comfy, there was a fridge, great bathroom which looked brand new! Breakfast every morning was fresh and tasty - great way to start a fun filled busy day. Was a little confused as to where the train station was but once we figured it out it became second nature. The staff were super friendly which always help. They have their own computer with internet access which is great.
