I stayed here with my father for four nights during my first trip to Rome. This hotel is great. Our room was on the small side, but it was not a problem. We even had a small patio/balcony that we shared with another room. Since my father is elderly I was glad for the small lift that could take us to our room and up to the breakfast room on the top floor. I was very happy with the daily breakfast. The dining room was beautifully decorated each morning. The food was good and filling. It is a european breakfast with bread rolls cheese and meat, but they also had fresh fruit, cereals and yogurt. The coffee came out of a machine, but there were many choices (Americano, Cappachino, Esspresso, hot chocolate) and each was delicious. The location of this hotel is awesome. The Trevi Fountain is just a short walk away and so are the Spanish Steps. The metro station is also just up the street. Very convenient. The Via Venato is also close by and great for an evening stroll. When we did not walk we used to Metro and its very easy to get to the Vatican from this location. There are many good restaurants nearby. There is a little internet shop around the corner and the prices are reasonable. 2.50 euros for an hour....but I usually only spent 1 euro to check my email and email the family. The staff of the hotel is friendly and helpful. I would definitely return to this hotel again in the future.

Rgarick said it all in his review. (See below.) Stayed at this hotel prior to embarking on a cruise. As long as you know that it is a small "boutique" hotel, you won't be disappointed. Yes, it was overly decorated but we enjoyed the fact that it 's location was perfect for walking to many of the sights, e.g. Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Narvonne, and narrow, lovely streets for shopping and restaurants. You will need to take a taxi (reasonably priced) to St. Peter's Basilica. Very nice cold breakfast buffet in charming rooms on the top floor. Staff was wonderful and helpful. I e-mailed them with questions prior to the trip and they promptly responded. Would definitely stay there again.

Loved the location of this hotel, we walked everywhere from it! The staff where brilliant, friendly and helpful! We had three small children who also loved it although we left pram permantly downstairs. I booked by fax and the hotel kept in contact and organised airport transfers, having 3 children with us the only thing I could have asked for was a better choice of cereals. Decor very boutique, but again location was perfect

The pros of this hotel definitely outnumbered the cons, but I think whether or not you should stay here depends of what kind of traveler you are. Our biggest problem with this hotel was the front desk staff. Thankfully, we had booked our honeymoon through a travel agent and already had bus passes, Vatican tour tickets, etc. I say thankfully because if we did have any questions about the city, the staff was completely unhelpful. They did not go out of their way at all to be obliging. If you are dependent on this sort of help, this may not be the hotel for you.

That said, the location is wonderful! The neighborhoods behind the hotel are beautiful. We loved walking around and exploring and never felt unsafe. There were plenty of restaurants, shops and bars within easy walking distance. The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps are all within walking distance as well.
