Location - very close to Roma Termini which was good. It's a bit out of the way from the main attractions but that being said it was not far at all to walk.

On first impressions the hotel looked a bit sketchy as it is above what seemed to be a bank and you have to buzz in and then walk up 2 flights of stairs past a doctor's office before you get to the reception. Once there however it's a very pleasant environment.

The hotel is quite plush inside although you get the feeling it could do with a touch-up soon. The desk staff were extremely helpful and printed out a train ticket for us at the reception desk at no cost (as the computer with internet didn't have a printer attached). Internet access was 7 euros for 3 hours - good if you intend spending 3 hours on the internet but not such a deal if you want it for half an hour. As it turned out I had to do some work from the hotel and had to the use the computer which is situated in one of the main (narrow) corridors. I had to stand to use it and its location didn't lend itself to privacy.

The room was good with a large washroom. Some features of the room were a bit tired-looking - a lamp fitting hanging off the wall and some damp on part of the flock wallpaper. The bed was very comfy.

Had to pay for breakfast which was a bit disappointing.

We were originally suppose to stay at the hotel Best Roma, but were told the hotel was under renovation and we had no room. So after a long day of travelling, we were moved to the Invictus, but had to pay for our own cab to get there. The room we were originally given was small and was also the storage spot for the maid's cleaning equipment. We were moved to a better room, but the room was next to the front desk. The walls are paper thin, so my wife and I were kept awake by the telephone ringing, and our neighbour snoring. All in all, a bad experience...

Lovely clean cozy hotel, centrally located with friendly knowledgeable staff. Great location for sites. Walking distance to Termini and Barberini metro. Continental breakfast (cereal/juice/rolls/croissants/tea/coffee) and plenty of it. Good sized room with fridge, tv and en suite. Entrance is shared by apartments with hotel being top two floors so with two entrances it felt very safe. Sat tv has only one english speaking channel (CNN) but then who goes to Rome to watch tv! Great winter deal when booked direct. Lovely corner deli/cafe opposite hotel at very reasonable prices. All in all a good experience.

My wife and I booked this hotel through Expedia.com. Expedia states this 'hotel' has free internet, free parking & full breakfast. They had none of the above! No internet, no free parking (unless you consider free parking to be a free space in any street in Rome), and certainly no 'full breakfast'. This isn't even a hotel, never mind a 3 star one. It's like any apartment block in Rome. You take an old, communal lift (with other residents of the block) to an apartment on the 2nd floor ("reception") and they give you a key to an apartment on the 4th or 5th floor. The walls are PAPER THIN! We were kept awake for 3 nights running by people next door partying 'til 3am. When we called down to complain several times it rang out. We asked for the manager on countless occasions who was, surprise surprise, never there. Even Expedia themselves couldn't get a hold of him when they tried to contact him with my complaints. It is relatively close to several places of interest (Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Via Del Corso etc), but so are hundreds of other REAL hotels with superior accommodation and facilities at a similar price. You have been warned!
