This hotel was within 15 minutes (with luggage) from the railway station. It was clean, had a varied breakfast and a reasonable sized room plus a lift. And the soundproofing worked - so important after 13 hours on a plane. While there was a bit of a walk to Rome's attractions there was also the Metro at the railway station. We would certainly stay here again.

A good hotel; nice ammenities and nice/quiet room. Prompt check in, friendly staff, and a very good breakfast.

10 min walk from the central station in the direction opposite to the heart of the city, making the walk to the main sights even longer (though there is the subway at the central station of course). We are young and active and so this was not a problem for us, but for certain guests, this would be a big con, I think.

My wife and i have just returned fom Rome after a 4 day city break staying at the San Marco Hotel.
First lets get the GOOD POINTS out of the way
1 The Bedrooms and bathroom are VERY Clean with fresh towels every day
2 The hotel is in a very GOOD position 500 meters from Termini station and Metro etc
3 Plenty of restaurants very close with reasonable prices
4 Reception staff friendly and helpfull

THATS IT

BAD POINTS

1 THE WALLS ARE PAPER THIN you can hear EVERYTHING from snoring to midnight abloutions doors banging,draws slamming,toilet flushes from 3 rooms down the corridor
TAKE YOUR EAR PLUGS for a good nights sleep

2 BREAKFAST now here is a different episode compleatly
Lots of previous reviewers stated what a great breakfast it was
WRONG there are 2 RUDE staff that run the Breakfast struggle
Cerial bowls run out so you have to WAIT until the female member of staff has snapped at you WAIT Im Cleaning them oops sorry for asking then Cutlery that is left on your table is picked up and placed directly back in the basket for the next guest to use WITHOUT being WASHED you have to get your own tes and coffe for the machine which is foul tasting.The fruit juice is a DEFINATE NO NO it tastes like diluted anti freeze thats if you can get some before the waiter BARKS Therez a no a more ees run out. The scrambled egss are made from POWDER as in world war 2 The cutlery to the eggs are NEVER changed
I could go on even more about the BAD hygene practices in this breakfast room but i think you have probably got the gist of it by now My wife and i are extensive travellers but i have never seen any food practices like this beforein any of the hotels or countries we have stayed in

Any way we had a great time in Rome seeing all the sights etcand some Great FOOD OUTSIDE OF THE HOTEL

I took my 77 year old Mother to Rome to see the Vatican & St Peters Basilica. I booked the rooms through Expedia, requesting a smoking room for my Mother as she is a heavy smoker. Unfortunately it is a non smoking hotel (not made clear on the Expedia website), but after emailing the management , they said that they would provide a room with a balcony.
On arrival the lift was 'broken'. This caused panic in me as Mother can hardly walk through the longterm effects of smoking, so couldn't climb stairs at all. Thankfully the 'bellboy' operated the lift for my elderly mother (the inner door would not close automatically so they stopped most people using it unless supervised) and my son and I walked up the stairs. They could not have been more helpful or politeand the lift was repaired quite quickly.
Our rooms were clean and well sized and the balconies were a bonus, my Mother really appreciating the opportunity to smoke but complying with the non-smoking rule indoors.
On our first night I asked the Receptionist (a non smiling gent but very helpful) to recommend somewhere to eat and he gave me a business card for a pizzeria in the next road which also gave 10% off the total bill.
The pizzeria staff were friendly and welcoming and lots of locals were eating there which is always a good sign, we certainly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.
The hotel is close enough to Termini to walk to, but far enough away to feel safe and in a relatively quiet street.
The breakfast was also generous and filling with a wider choice than the average continental breakfast.
If I return to Rome I will ensure I stay at this hotel and would certainly recommend it to family and friends
