Selected the hotel from the trip advisor rankings. The hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the train station, and is situated down a pleasant side street. When you arrive, there is a very small front desk manned by what could have been students or family, but not your upmarket hotel staff. The rooms are clean, not big but certainly adequate, with good shower.I think they only occupy the first floor of the building but have a key security system to get on to the floor. Our room opened on to the street below but we did not suffer from any noise.The beakfast room is in a patio at the rear,which must be lovely in the spring/summer. They have a covered summer room for the winter/ cold days.Breakfast was good, with usual choice of cold foods, and coffee/chocolate brought to you by the staff.The situation is excellant. It is less than 20 minutes walk to most of the central sights(maybe 30 minutes to the Vatican). So why does it rank so well against all the other Rome Hotels. Answer,I am not quite sure, as it is not an outstanding building, or wonderful facilities nor great value for money. What it is is a small convenient hotel that ticks most of the boxes. And then there were the staff. Each of them were helpful, charming and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. It comes across as a family run affair(not sure if this is true) rather than a classic professional hotel. Taking everything in to account, it deserves a high rating and they even seemed pleased for us when Ireland beat Italy in the rugby--maybe there would be more of a problem if it had been football.
