I had the best time in Rome and I put some of that experience down to the hassle free Pensione Giamaica attitude. The owner and his mother were very good at giving us information when we were a little confused/ lost but also leaving us to our own devises when we went off exploring.
If your looking for 5 star luxury or air conditioning, then this is not the place for you. But, if you're looking for a clean and tidy place to crash after a day out seeing the sights or after experiencing the night life Rome has to offer, then this is your place. They don't have a safe but they do give you the key to your room and the front door of the building which makes coming and going very stressless (we never had any troubles with theft whatsoever).
The location is brilliant too. It's about 3 mins to the Stazione Termini and about 4 to the bus depot at the back making day or night time travels stupidly easy. The underground train to the Colosseum, for example, is about 2 mins (being only 2 stops away from Termini) and the number 64 bus, that goes from the station, will take you to Campo di Fiori, our place of choice for a night out/ food.
The only negative I can really think of is the temperature of the room, it gets quite hot there in the summer. They do provide a fan which helps a little, but there were a few nights where there was no respite from the heat.
All in all, it was top! I would definitely stay there again. In fact, I am when I return to Roma later this year.
Happy Rome-ing
