We stayed there for 4 nights on the 24-25 and 29-30 of June 2005. The first 2 nights were reasonable - the rooms were new and decent, althought it was located at the deadend of a street.

What really pissed us off was the fact that when we arrived on the 29, we were informed when we got there that as the hotel was full, they were placing us at hotel bianca instead, also another 2 star hotel but in a terrible state. construction was going on in that hotel, plus it was very very old!!! this totally spoilt out trip! and i am sure this was not the first time they did so. what is irritating is that we booked it via hostelworld, which would obviously state that the 4 -person room was available at that time, hence that was no valid reason why we were switched!!

do not let this happen to you, DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL!

Located at the end of a dead-end street packed with hotels, you need to walk up to the second floor to find the reception. Good location, 7-8 minutes walk from Termini train station and good value. We paid 100 euros for a double room over Easter. However the room was really small and we were right next to the reception and so it wasn't the quietest room. Reception staff were not too friendly, we didn't feel welcome when we had question on the city or public transportation. "Breakfast" (fatty croissant, coffee + orange juice) is delivered to your room at the requested time. Overall the place was ok, ideal for tight budgets.

A gem of a hotel, in a perfect location. The fronts desk staff were friendly and accommodating, although their English was not perfect.

Breakfast was simple (a croissant and a cup of tea, with small glass of orange juice) and was delivered to the door. The view of the breakfast room which appears on the internet is ficticious.

Credit cards are NOT ACCEPTED at this hotel, even though the websites say that they are. Make sure you have access to cash. I was told the night before we were due to leave and had a mad panic to get to an ATM.

Overall, an excellent, clean, recently refusrbished place to stay, with superb access to all the major sights in Rome.
