My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lussemburgo. The family that owns the hotel is wonderful. So very kind, friendly and inviting. The son was very helpful and speaks very good English. The mom and dad speak very little, but are still able to communicate and get the point across. The son gave us a map to the city and circled all of the wonderful places to see, which also included an explanation on the best and easiest way to get there. We brought the incorrect adapter for the plugs, and the family provided us with the right one. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was a good one. Check out was at 11 am, and our flight didn't leave until 10 pm that night. It was not a problem for us to keep our luggage in the lobby. They even made sure it was taken care of while we were out. The rooms are small and basic, but that is to be expected when traveling in Europe. We didn't travel to Rome to stay inside all day anyway, so the rooms were just fine for us. The hotel does not have a lift, but 3 flights of stairs get you to the top. The location is great. A 15 minute walk gets you to the Colosseum and surrounding monuments. You are about two blocks away from the Line A Metro stop and about a 10-15 minute walk from the main train station, Termini. If you take line A from Termini to Manzoni, it's easier on the feet to get to the hotel. Overall, Rome was fantastic and our stay couldn't have been any better. We truly believe that our trip was so great partly due to the fact that we felt as if we had been invited to stay in someone's home. We weren't worried one bit about anything being stolen and felt very safe. We're already planning to go back Summer 2006 and will definitely being staying at the Lussemburgo!
