We chose this hotel after reading reviews on Tripadvisor, where this hotel was described as a good, cheap and clean place to stay in the centre of Rome. The location was very good, a very short walk from the Foro Romano and the Colosseo. The receptionists were also helpful and friendly. The air condition was a big relief, and worked well. The bathroom was spotlessly clean apart from a few mouldy stains, and it was cleaned daily, which we appreciated very much. The cleaning staff also cleaned the stairs and hallway daily. They were a bit too eager for us, however, when they also tidied up all our things every day by moving them around the room and into the drawers (I would recommend checking all drawers before you leave, to be sure you don't forget anything that the cleaners might have put away). The sheets were also crisp and clean. However, the room itself was NOT clean. There were stripes of grime on the walls and around the switches. The wall paper was torn in several places, giving the room a shabby look. Also, on the negative side, the walls were paper thin, so that when the people in the next room talked and laughed it sounded as if they were in the stairs talking to eachother from one floor to the next. Also, our room one day suddenly smelled of tobacco when we returned in the afternoon, which the receprionist told us probably was from people smoking in the room next door. Bad isolation also meant the cold air leaked out, which meant wasting unnecessary energy when using the air conditioning.

We stayed at the Romano during our first night in Rome. It is a very convenient hotel to get to. Like many, we flew into Fiumacino. From there, we took the express train to Rome's Termini station. We were able to walk from Termini station to the Albergo Romano hotel in about 15 minutes. The hotel is PERFECTLY situated across the street from the Forum. It's also just one block from the Colosseum. A great location for seeing Rome. We actually walked all over the city from this little homebase. Our room had large windows and shutters overlooking the street in front as well as the Forum. The room was basic, but clean. The bathroom was basic, but had a nice hot shower and clean linens. The breakfast was lovely, and included a cappucino, glass of juice, warm croissant, and toast with jam. There is also a cafe next door selling gelato and warm paninis that is open late.

We stayed at Albergo Romano for 5 nights after a two week tour in Southern Italy/Sicily. The location was fabulous, just a short walk across the street to the Forum and Colliseum. The hotel is not fancy, the rooms are large, and the breakfast was typical continental style at the cafe next door. Our room was quiet and well insulated. There are restaurants and gelato shops nearby, plus it is within walking distance to most of Rome's treasures. The Metro is a short walk away for visits to the Borguese, Vatican, and main train station. We were very satisfied with the immediate area around the Romano which was safe at night.

We will definitely stay here again when we return to Roma. I hate to tell others about this jewel we found in an otherwise very expensive city.

We just returned from a week stay at the Hotel Romano. The location is about 2 blocks away from the coluseum and right across the street from Imperial Roman Forum. The rates are very reasonable for this location. It is a typical average European hotel room (maybe a little larger). We had a third floor room with 2 large windows. The street is a busy street however, we found with the windows closed we didnt have any problems with the noise. We couldnt find a better rate for this area. The hotel was clean and our bathroom just had a makeover. The staff is friendly especially Santos. The location and the price make this an incredible find for Rome.
