We stayed here one night pre cruise on the Queen Victoria. Booked by travel agent. Having read so many recent poor reviews we seriously considered staying elsewhere and forgetting the cost.
We were glad we went - friendly, helpful reception, lovely room with city views, perhaps a bit small but others had large rooms. Everything clean, and in working order, spotless bathroom and plenty of toiletries. Breakfast was vast with a big , regularly replaced selection - well situated , a short walk (with cases) to the main railway terminal.

We stayed here for 2 nights in Nov 08 on a weekend trip to Rome.

We chose the hotel because we needed a triple room and when I did an internet search, it came up and had a great price and was in a very central location - we couldnt believe our luck!

It was ideal for the train station for getting to and from airport or other areas of Italy. And it was very easy to find on Via Viminale, right next to the Opera house. We were able to walk to the Colliseum in about 20 mins along interesting streets and the Nazionale Street is very close by. The Spanish Steps were about 20 mins away too but so much to see on the route there.

Checking in and out was easy and the best thing was that we could store our bags securely after checking out to explore the city further before leaving for the airport on our final day.

Our room was on the third floor was clean but small for the 3 of us but we didnt mind as we were only sleeping there and were out all day. We had twin beds and a sofabed. Perfectly comfortable.

Bathroom was nicer than expected but the water was only lukewarm the first morning but fine the second morning.

We didnt have the breakfast as we werent up in time but from the looks of things, we didnt miss much. We found some lovely cafe's very nearby to have breakfast.

If you are more interested in location than luxury or comfort, than this place is unbeatable value.

Although the hotel was in a pretty good area as far as getting around (close to the train station, the opera, and within walking distance of all the big sights) the hotel was pretty miserable. Rome was our third stop on a 2 week tour of Europe and although our room was pretty big, it had a pretty bad smell in it that didn't go away! Whenever we were in the room we had the window open trying to air it out and whatever air circulation contraption was thrown into the ceiling on trying to get the air moving, but the maids would shut the window and shut off the air so our room was smelly and stagnant when we got home at night. The shower curtain had mold growing on it and I was afraid to let it touch me. All the grout was cracked and there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling near the bed. There was no way to lock the door from the inside either. I do not think this hotel should have 3 stars. I also don't think they should be allowed to advertise a breakfast of any sort when all that is offered is cereal, one type of pastry, and a couple cold boiled eggs. What a nightmare!

Me and my family spent there a full week in October. We stayed on the 3rd floor at room 326 with a nice view to the Opera and just a few minutes from Termini station. The good thing is the convenience it offers you to reach the sightseeings and that you can walk up and down Nazionale str. to browse in the stores. The room was ok, cleaned every day and the people were helpful enough.Saying this, the breakfast was HORRIBLE for the money you pay, there's no WIFI in the rooms and to get to the elevator you have to go two at a time. Overall I think is a good value for money 3 stars close to the heart of Rome but if you can,negotiate a price without the breakfast.
