This was a nice little family run hotel. It is 2 1/2 stars, but we found it to be similar in features to most 3 star places with the exception of services ... ie - they won't book reservations to museums or dinner, etc. However, if you don't mind doing that stuff on your own, it was a nice clean hotel in a good location for a reasonable price.

Continental breakfast was included. I typically had a pastry with a coffee, and my wife typically had tea and cereal. Be sure to ask for milk if you want it as it is separate. The maid/breakfast girl was very nice, and both the older gentleman and his son who run the hotel were great.

Not far from train station, and at the outer edge of the old section of town with most major attractions. It is on top of a hill, so you will have to walk down every morning and walk back up after dinner every night ... not great for popping back into the room at mid-day. However, it is only a couple of blocks from the piazza with the triton fountain where major bus lines to the center of town, and the vatican run, as well as the subway which goes to the colosseum and elsewhere.

No elevator as the hotel is in a historic building, but they do offer to bring your bags up and down. Not a huge room, but not atypical for urban hotels. Desk, windows, bed, spacious armoir for hanging clothes, and drawers for storing smaller things. 1 suitcase stand. Spacious bathroom with bidet and whirlpool tub. We only used the tub to soak our feet after walking around rome. Shower was fine. No shower curtain, but it worked out ok as tub was pretty wide.

A little hard to find. Basic directions get you close, but there is no sign, just a button on the call box with the logo of the hotel. If you have your back to the train station, and pass San Carlo al Quattro Fontana (the church at the four fountains) start looking on the right side of the street. If you get to palazzo barberini (art museum) you have gone too far.

My ipod was stolen from my room. I now notice this is the third review in a row which is reporting a robbery. Maybe there is a new maid, maybe the owner is going through tough time and decided to help himself to visitors' stuff, but the fact is: if you stay in this hotel, there is a very high probability that you will be robbed.

I was staying in this hotel for 4 days last summer with my friend. It was a bit of a problem to find the place since it was not clearly marked. The biggest horror was that we were robbed in our hotel room. Luckily, only some of our clothes were taken. I saw another comment about the robbery from sugarcube1 where much more valuable stuff were missing. Like in the experience of sugarcube1, the guy at the desk (Fernando) was highly suspicious. When we told him what happened he suddenly started not to speak English, when my friend wanted to call the embassy and the police he was also trying to stop that ...

Another thing which was annoying (but nothing compared to being robbed) was that we were told that the receptionist is there 24h per day, but when we came to the hotel one evening around 1am we were left outside to ring for almost 1 hour! Finally, obviously just got out of the bed, Fernando appeared not looking very friendly at us.

For the rest it was ok... the room was nice, the location is nice.... But nothing can be good enough knowing that there is a big risk to be robbed there. And as I see here in the reviews, we are not the only one.

Most horrible experience ever. Prepaid through Expedia.ca for 3 nights 4 day stay, for a family of 4 people. By the second night, I realised that my jewellery, wallet (with $300US, debit and student card), and camera were stolen. According to the front desk attendant (Fernando), the only person who accesses the rooms was the cleaning lady, Tatianna. Up until that night, I had everything with me, but that second night my packback was ransacked, as well as my luggage, with those three items wrongfully taken from me.

To add insult to injury, when we told Fernando what happened, he told us to keep it down, not wanting the other guests to find out about our crisis. For some time he also refused to hand us the phonebook (to read about how to make international calls).

Fernando was listening to personal phone calls made in our room because there was a lot of feedback while we were talking to the authorities and the Embassy.

When we returned to the reception desk, Fernando asked us to provide our home address as well as the location of where my family would be staying the last two days we were in Rome (because obviously we didn't want to stay in their hotel any longer). Fernando told us he would send my family a package with all the missing items to our new hotel. These lies continued (when I phoned him to ask and check up on our items). He kept changing the return date. As of today, I have not received anything from him or the hotel.

Do not stay in this hotel, you are asking to be robbed!
