This hotel is in a good locaiton and close walking distance to major sites. However, the room was small and the price too much for what was offered. Also, there were problems with the phone in the room - we couldn't get it to work properly, even after contacting reception - and they recommended a very bad touristy restaurant to us even after we especially asked for a non-touristy one. The price was too high for what we got - but maybe that's just Rome.

My Wife and I recently stayed in the Hotel Ascot, near Termini. Although the hotel was very basic it was very clean and the staff were friendly and courteous at all times. The shower was excelent, although the towels were a bit wierd (a bit like drying yourself with a table cloth, I would imagine). The only draw back was the noise insulation from within the hotel i.e. the lobby and other rooms was a bit poor. However, the windows provided excelent insulation from the noise of the busy street directly outside. Our room even had a small balcony was provided an ideal spot to people watch from.. All in all, a very good hotel at a very good price (for Rome). I would not have any hesitation to stay there again and would recomend it. Oh, they also looked after our bags before and after we checked in.

We stayed there in a room with four twin beds and a private bath for only 105 euros a night including continental breakfast. It was nothing fancy, but very clean, within walking distance of the central train station and metro and buses from Campini airport, and even has an elevator. We had no problem getting anywhere. The desk clerks were all very friendly and helpful. It was even very quiet. A winner!

The price was pretty good, we were right next to the train station, and several national museums. The street was very noisy, but the windows were almost completely soundproofed. The only problem we had with noise was some American students singing drunkenly in the hall one night.

Charming elevator, the street turns into a pedestrians only market during the day. Great bargains!

We left our bags at the front desk (in the hallway next to the front desk) during our last day because our train left at midnight, and my father had 100 US dollars stolen out of his bag (there had been $750). Other people had left their bags there too. We didn't really have another option, though. There aren't any lockers at the train station, not that our giant bags would have fit in them anyway.
