Wow what a find! This hotel was so wonderful! Everything was very new and the rooms were kept extremely clean. The staff were very helpful and the hotel was situated just a few 100m from the Collesseo-fantastic location! I highly recommend staying at this hotel!

This hotel is what many in the U.S.A. would categorize as a "boutique" hotel. There is not a full-time receptionist or a breakfast served. Having said that, this place is awesome for travelers exploring Rome and using the hotel as a place to shower and lay their heads. It is clean, modern, air-conditioned, traveler-friendly, and in the middle of it all.

Hostess "Anna" speaks fantastic English and took time to provide us with a map, suggest restaurants and attractions, and provide directions to Rome. Looking out our window and down the street we saw the Colosseum six blocks in the distance.

There can be no better value in Rome. I will look no further when my journeys bring me back to Rome.

If you don't mind the lack of public areas, breakfast, and hotel reception, this is a very nice place to stay. Rooms were clean and modern and quiet. We liked the location on via dei Serpenti.

This is a "bad news/GREAT NEWS" review. First the bad news; as indicated in a previous review, Hotel Sunset is more of a "Guest House" than a full-services hotel. There's no elevator, no lobby to speak of, very little of the North American-style 24 hour services and, depending where your room is situated, early morning traffic can be a factor. The GREAT NEWS? A GREAT LOCATION, close to the ancient sections of Rome. (10 minutes to the Colosseum & Forum - other sites branch out from there) & close to the Metro (10-15 minutes depending on the line selected.) The Gelato shop just down the street is incredible as is the nearby Coffee Bar. The staff are personable & helpful, the hotel is spotless & our room was spacious, comfortable & clean

We stayed on the second floor facing Via Dei Serpenti. Andreas helped us with our luggage up the narrow stairs & then helped us get oriented to the main sights. We weren't prepared for the early morning garbage/recycling collection but my trusty ear plugs fixed that problem. Besides, we easily traded that off to open our window, look down the street & see the Colosseum!
Another reviewer commented that the desk is not staffed often but guests are usually exploring the sites or sleeping off the exhaustion caused by walking about the ancient city. Besides that, someone was a phone call away & help was not far behind.

Do yourself a favour, check out this unassuming beauty near the heart of Ancient Rome! If you choose to stay here, try contacting the hotel directly to save third-party booking fees.
