If youre looking for the Ritz, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for fantastic value, fantastic service, in the middle of everything then you will not be disappointed. We arrived from Ciampino Airport using the Terravision transfer bus which dropped us off at the Termini Station. I wanted a hotel that was quite near so that I didnt have to get a taxi, it was about a 7 minute walk away just off the Via Nazionale. Dont be disheartened about the frontage it looks just like a residential apartment block, which it is!! once you get inside your are welcomed by big smiles and they all speak very good english. The rooms have been recently refurbished and are spotless, after a day sightseeing you are glad to be back and the beds are so comfortable that you will not have any trouble sleeping, the area is very quiet even though you are in the middle of it all. The only strange thing is the layout of the rooms. Most of the rooms lead directly off the tiny dining room where they serve a comprehensive continental breakfast and they ask you if you would like breakfast in bed and they will litteraly bring it straight into your room for you whilst you are still in bed!! What service is that!! Well if you can get over the quirkyness of it all, I can definately recommend it to everyone, the colloseum is at the end of the road as is the forum, the Vittorio Emmanuel is about another 5 mins walk. The tube station is around the corner which will take you to the Vatican for 1Euro. Also it is far enough away from the Termini station that you should be safe, I have read several reviews about the Termini Station Area being a bit rough so try and avoid that area. Hope this helps and have a wonderful stay in Rome, its a lovely place.
