The Aries is a friendly, comfortable, great value 2 star B&B near Porta Pia, with a good choice of places to eat nearby.
We were ten minutes from Termini, fifteen from Pantheon, with frequent buses though we mainly walked. We enjoyed being peaceful but close to the action, and the area felt very safe.
We booked through Venere and got an excellent off-peak rate.
The Aries has six rooms on the 2nd floor (small lift) across a lovely courtyard. We had room 3, which was simple but clean, a fair size for Rome, with a fridge, TV (local channels), air-con and a decent size hot shower. No phone. It overlooked a smaller street behind Via Venti Settembre so was reasonably quiet.
The Di Blasi family were kind and helpful, lending a hairdryer & an umbrella. They aren't fluent English speakers but we got by well.
The breakfast was adequate - just tea or coffee, a croissant, french toast and jam.
This budget choice was ideal for us.
