if you stay at archimede, make sure you walk or get a cab to babbo,s restauraunt , really nice and price ok, sabrina and maria and john are freindy, and the male owner, the only thing that spoiled our stay was we seen so much in 4 days, and walked too far, anyone going on the "dark rome" walking trip should really enjoy, but 3 hour walk, and we made a mistake of getting up in manchester, at 3am, getting to airport for 4am, flight at 6am, arrived at 10am, slept till 2pm, got up no time to eat, when we finished the tour at 6pm, we were soooooh hungry, went to the la familie restaurant, nice cold beer and had lots of , food, releived, but not great restaurant, i personally watched a 20 year old thief at work on the metro, watching , looking, and waiting for his chance, my wife loved the trip, i found it a bit boring, either a designer shop, macdonalds shop, church, or ancient mansion on every street, the colliseum is good, and like babbos, should be a daily visit, unfit walkers , "beware", lol,

Hotel is 4* officialy, but I would say 3*. It has a good location, near Statione Termini and Metro station.
Rooms are comfortable, but I had a feeling toilets were not perfetly clean.

Stayed here with a group of students on a schools trip. We were spread out in the hotel in groups and as a sinlge room, it was the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Even compared to NYC, there was enough room for the bed and the desk and then the bathroom. The bathroom was stressful because there was a tub, but no shower curtain! If the floor got wet during a shower, if you slipped you could die by smashing into either the toilet or the bidet or the sink because it was so small!! There was free wifi in the hotel, but it did not reach the rooms so you'd need to be in the lobby to use it when it was working. Located near the train station which was nice though.

I stayed here in April 2012. The room was nice, but a little dark, so you had to open the curtains/windows the whole time. The bathroom was clean, however we did have a few problems with the shower, and the toilet seat. The towels were fine and clean. The bed sheets were not very nice, they were heavy, and seemed over used and old.
The breakfast was not outstanding, but acceptable. There was bread, toast, croissants, yogurts and fruit, and a coffee/hot chocolate machine which was nice.
I liked how in the lobby there was comfy sofas, which you could sit on and use the free wifi.
The hotel was very near the train station
The room was not noisy on the 2nd floor, there was a bit of street noise though, but not bother able.
