I stayed at the Hosianum Palace for 2 nights in early May, 2009. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Rome who likes to stay in a centrally located and clean hotel.

I did book this hotel using points from my credit card, so did not pay the rack rate. However prior to my arrival, when I checked the hotel's website it was quoting a rate of 120Euro per night for a single, since I've returned home the website is quoting double rooms for the fall months at 245 Euro per night.

I had a single room on the 4th floor. Which I felt, for European standards, was rather roomy. When entering the room the bathroom (which was small, but very clean and had everything you would need) was immediately on the right, then 2 steps down and there was the bed (a twin size), a desk with flat screen TV, a wardrobe with a safe inside and plenty of hangers and a luggage rack. The ceiling was slanted, being the top floor and the window was high, so that I couldn't see out of it, but there really wasn't anything to see anyway.

I slept with the window open and there was no street noise at all, even though the street the hotel is on is just off a fairly busy thoroughfare. Being a holiday weekend the hotel was completely booked and I never heard any other guests in the rooms around me.

I did not have any need to have lengthy dealings with the staff, but they were pleasant during the check-in and check-out process.

The breakfast was included in the price of the hotel and at this time of year it is in the lower level breakfast room. It was actually 2 fairly large rooms with a buffet breakfast set up. Both hot and cold items were on the buffet and the server would bring cappuccino if requested. I thought the breakfast selections were varied...eggs, bacon, cheeses, ham, yogurts, cereals, breads, pastries, fruits and juices.

The location could not have been better, just around the corner from Piazza Venezia and a few blocks away from Largo Argentina. Piazza Navona and Campo dei Fiori about a 10 minute walk away.

I highly recommend!
