This is a good hotel, clean and centrally located with easy access to the trains or subways. For those of you NOT used to Italian hotels; they're ALL very small. These are centuries-old buildings turned into hotels, hence; the tiny elevators, small rooms, compact bathrooms (no shower curtains to avoid mildew issues, )etc.. So, when in Rome on a budget, do as the Romans do; take life as it comes; be positive and open-minded! [Don't go expecting US standard lodgings!]
The breakfast buffet was simple but good, with a coffee machine that offered a few Italian coffee varieties. Warm milk offered on the side made for a great caffe latte! And the nutella packets were a hit with the kids to have with the croissant pastries.
Overall, I'd say this hotel & service was good and the hotel personnel were polite and helpful. If you're looking for a luxury stay, expect to pay a lot more in Rome!

Personally I did not find the hotel 4 star quality. It was clean, the room was not smaller than expected and I can not say that the service was bad really however no little luxuries at all.

The breakfast was extremely simple, accompanied with horrible coffee. Given that bit of info, I did not find the room service or the restaurants promising. There were no good restaurants and shops around so had to look at a guide/map in order to spot a good dinner.

The hotel is just behind the Termini station, which makes life easy if you are planning to rent a car or take a train to somewhere close. It is easy and cheap-ish to take a cab to the central attractions however I don't think it is walking distance.

The only good thing about the hotel was it's location. Stayed three nights and had two different rooms. They both had mold in them and the first you couldn't even get your suitcase in. It had a corner shower with lots of mold and the towels were even rotted. The second one was better but for $217.00 a night you can do better. This is the worse hotel I have ever stayed in in Europe.

This hotel was in an excellent position for sightseeing. It was only a couple of minutes walk from Termini from which it is easy to get to any of the major attractions in Rome. The rooms were quite small, but 3 of us shared a room and it was adequate (with all there is to see who spends much time in the room anyway!). The bathroom was a bit of a problem, with no shower curtain but it was easily remedied by pointing the spray towards the back of the bath. Breakfast was fine- a little boring but filling and the coffee was nice. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. All in all a very nice stay.

I booked this trip to Rome for my Husbands birthday. After reading some of the reviews, I wondered if I had done the right thing. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel was clean and spacious and yes the rooms were on the small side but the time we spent in them it didnt matter. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Some people complained that there was no shower curtain but that's Italy!! Turn the shower head inwards and theres no problem!!!. Very centrally located within walking distance to the main sites. Pavement cafes and bars 2 minutes across the road from the hotel. We would definately go back.
