Having heard that European hotel rooms were generally smaller than US hotel rooms, I wasn't surprised to see how small the room that we had was. Residenza Farnese, however, apparently has different sized rooms for relatively the same price. And the bathroom sizes and configurations also differ from room to room. One bathroom had a toilet that faced a wall which was about 2 feet away. The rooms are not soundproof so there will be street noise, especially from workers in the nearby businesses. Breakfast is served at about 7am consisting of hard rolls, cheese, "deli" meats, fruits, coffee, tea or water. And a small bar, from which you can get a glass of wine in the early evening.
Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. There is one woman (the owner?) who always seemed sour-faced and not very helpful at all, but for the most part, the rest of the staff really tried to understand our desires and accomodate them. They even politely smiled at our attempts to speak Italian to them.
The hotel is within walking distance to many of Rome's main sights. Campo de Fiori is a block away. Buy some fruit there to take on your day's journeys and in the evenings, it becomes a gathering place for the young and young at heart. Piazza Navona is a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel. I even walked to Castel d'Angelo and the Vatican in about 20 minutes. Many great restaurants and cafes are also situated close to the hotel.
