Coming in from the street, this "albergo" (hotel) seemed rather sketchy. But after buzzing in and becoming more comfortable with the safety of the place (3 separate locked doors to get to a room), the place was a lot more pleasant. The young guy that worked there was incredible, giving us the lay of the city and telling us what to watch out for, even suggesting some reasonably cheap places to eat.
The room was nothing incredible (we were in a room without a bathroom), but it did have a mirror and a sink which was good. The shared bathroom was nothing especially beautiful but was kept fairly clean and was working perfectly. The location nearby Termini was for us backpackers a blessing, letting us unload quickly after getting of the train. There is no sign out front, but you can look for Pensione Catherine (it shares the same building). Rome isn't as huge as it looks on the map, so although the hotel looks like it's out of the way, you can hoof it to the other side of the city (Vatican) within an hour.
Less than a block away on the opposite side of the street is an incredible internet/phone cafe that was ridiculously cheap (a euro an hour for internet - you can even pay by minute/page - and ten cents a minute to call home to Canada).
