Having read all the reviews we were a little worried, however I think that some people forget that you get what you pay for.
As 2 students looking for a bargain but used to cheap 4/5* hotels from friends working within the industry we were wondering what to expect from a 3* in the centre of Rome.
Yes it was basic and small but it was pleasant and clean and when in a city all you want is somewhere clean to sleep, shower and change which is what we got. We stayed for 2 nights, As you first enter the hotel it is very grand and beatiful and the staircase makes it look a lot more than a 3*. the first night the room was small but clean - padded fabric panels gave the room a romantic feel. The bathroom was long and narrow and smelt strongly of damp but again, not a huge problem seen as you don't spend alot of time in your room. Shower was adequate and if you sat on the toilet sideways fine! The second night whilst getting changed the electricity went off - after an hour of trying to get back on in our room we had to switch to a different room, the second room was much larger with a much nicer bathroom which looked as though it had recently been done out. Breakfast was basic - bread rolls, butter, jam, tea, coffee, orange, pastries but again nice that it was thrown in with the price.
Overall I would say a pleasant stay and a bargain for what we paid. I do think that I have quite high expectations but do like to be realistic about these things! I would certainly stay again if visiting rome.
