I have to agree with most of the reviews on this hotel because they are all correct. First of all i must say i didn't see the room so i wil not comment on the standard of the actual room.
What i will say is that after travelling half way around the world with my wife and 2 small children, arriving at this hotel was the biggest mistake we made when we travelled to Italy.
Since we had booked and paid 3 months earlier we were confident we would get a room at the hotel even though after reading the reviews we were concerened about the standard of the hotel. We walked into it with reservations but a very open mind considering that it was only a 2 star but was shocked when we arrived and got told there was no room for us. We were asked if we could go on the other side of the city to a sister hotel for the night and then return for the following 4 nights to finish our stay in the city. After a very heated argument with the "manager/operator" we told him that we would change hotels only if we stayed there for our whole stay (the hotel was a 3 star hotel) and that they would pay for the taxi ride. He wasn't happy with this but we gave him no choice and told him that this was not good enough and we were not going to travel back and forth. He agreed with all our requests and the other hotel was FANTASITIC.
so the one thing i would say is DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!!!!!!!!!!!! instead spend the extra $20 euros or so a night and stay at the Santa Prassede (see our review on this hotel).

Please DO not book this hotel, its a dump!!!!

The "best part" is this hotel (and its partners) do overbooking on their rooms.

We arrived at the hotels to have our rooms not available. They gave us excuese that we CANCELLED the reservation which we obviously did not. They also did not try to help us find another room but only to tell us look for rooms in the nearby streets.

After much arguing, they "decided" that they have only 1 room free for 1 of the nights we booked. Having not much choice, we had to accept their offer and we managed to find another hotel for the other night.

The room was a dump! Very crampy and looks like a dorm more like a hotel. Toilet was dirty as well. Breakfast was bad too as they have so little space for guests such that everyone was waiting for everyone to finish so as to have a space to sit!

Our Rome trip was ruined by a stay at this hotel!

DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS PLACE. We didnt want luxury at all from our accomodation but we we got here was nothing short of a disaster. Yes, the rooms are small. The shower is over the toilet, thats how cramped our bathroom was. Our room backed onto the rear of the reception and so the vending machine kept going off all night and the noise from the kitchen on the morning was argghhhhh disturbing. The stupid cleaners through out my partners contact lenses and all we were told was "tough" they shouldnt have been in the bathroom and to call our travel agent....after trying to sort this out with them directly they switched off our hot water, NOT that there was much hot water to start with. OH and our "continental" breakfast was a basket full of croissants and a juice machine which didnt work. do not stay here, keep looking, im sure theres better basic hotels than this one.

I visited Rome and stayed at this hotel for one night. The staff was friendly and spoke english and spanish (italian of course). The room is very basic with a TV and bed and bathroom (Didn't even use the TV). Great place to rest for the night, but not anything extravagant. I wanted to stay in town, near the trains, cabs, etc with no real regard to luxury acommodations. Monaco gave me that. The breakfast was great with several different types of fruitfilled rolls, coffee, and juices (no charge). After that, I was on my way. Do you want luxury Hotel? Don't Stay here. Do you want a basic clean place to lay your head and freshen up close to trains (3 blocks)? Try this place.

9/9 found this review helpful

My kids (24 and 26 jr) offered me (63) a trip to Rome; We got (by internet) a room for three persons three nights and breakfast. We could walk from termini station to the hotel (less than half an hour). The elevator was out of order, but the stairs took only one turn. The room was fine, a single bed for my daughter and 170 cm/180 bed for my son and me with two matrasses. The lightbulb in the bathroom was ok at that moment, later not, and the promise to repair it was not fullfilled when we left on monday (ok where do you find your handyman in the weekend). Room, towels and sheets, soap, toilet, douche,spic and span clean
Breakfast was simple, but we could take what we wanted (marmelade and bread) Drinks available hot milk, coffee, thee, chocolate from an apparate.
The man at the entrace was kind, there was a map from Rome to take with you on your tour.
On saturday we could go for a walk because the hotel is near all great sites. On sunday to Vatican-city we used the subway, and walked back.
We really do recommend this place. Simple and usefull.
