This is a great hotel!! The room was exceptionally clean and the staff were helpful and friendly (which was a rearity in Rome!!). Our room was a standard double and was plenty big enough for us. The bathroom was also very clean and large enough. The roof terrace has some lovely views and though we didn't ever do it, they offered breakfast there for 5 euros a person. If you have long hair (as I do) I recommend bringing your own hair dryer as the one they provided was not very powerful and so it tooks ages to dry all my hair. The area was not great but the hotel was clearly well maintained and the buidling looked nicer than the rest from the outside too. If you have trouble walking far I would not recommend this hotel as it is around a 20 minute walk to the nearest tube station (Manzoni), which (after a full day sight seeing) can be annoying! Also, the tube stops and 11:30 and by the time we had eaten and found the nearest station we usually had missed it and so walked A LOT!!! However, I doubt you would find a hotel as good in a better location without paying a lot more! Rome is a scruffy city so be prepared for that. However the sights are incredible and make it all worth it! There is a supermarket nearby the hotel which was very useful. We never ate too close to the hotel but recommend Isidoro restaurant (near to Colloseum), which can be pricey but is tasty and the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful! We were told to try Da Baffetto pizzeria (on Via Del Governo Vecchio) by reviews on the net and our travel guide, however it was not all it was cracked up to be! The pizza's were sloppy and not very nice, it took us half an hour to queue for a table and then another 40 mins to get the food once we ordered. Most of the staff were rude and the place looked very unclean. You are also seated next to strangers as the tables all seat 6, so if your looking for a romantic meal, don't go there! If walking from the Termini, make sure you dont walk down Via Giovanni Giolitti (street) as it will leave you with a very bad first impression of the place!!! Overall a great visit and a lovely hotel!!!!!

The hotel was excellent and i have no complaints about the room, service, cleanliness, breakfast. we had 4 day stay in Rome (3 nights here) and with a tight schedule we were walking quite a bit each day. my only complaint is that i did not think that the public transportation was really close enough to this location and there were not many nearby restaurants.

I saw this property listed on Expedia but not for the full duration that I needed. I contacted them directly....and lo and behold, they did have a room available for me. And they gave me a bit of a discount for the rate listed on EXP. Andrea is the person who helped me make the reservation and was very nice.

I did not think I was the greatest candidate for solo travel if public transportation was part of the plan, BUT there right outside the hotel, there is a bus stop, tram stop and taxi stand. This made it so convenient to go anywhere in the city. Literally, every site I visited was reachable within 10-25 minutes. The termini station is 10 minutes and 2 bus stops away and that connects you to anyplace in Rome, the rest of Italy and beyond.

I booked a double room for single use, which was a great option....some of the other single rooms I saw from pics at other hotels were literally the size of my closet. Quite the contrary here, there was plenty of space for everything I lugged along with me. The beds were a bit hard, but I have a pillow top mattress at home and anything less is hard to me.

The shower had an adjustable shower head and the water was always hot (I take long showers). There is no room service in the hotel but they serve a continental breaakfast daily and have a bar where you can get a drink at any time.

The key card operates the remote control to the lights and a/c or heat in the room. Someone else mentioned the person who worked at night - Carmelo...but he was perfectly nice to me and very helpful. The whole staff was very helpful in getting directions to anywhere in the city (and I am directionally challenged).

My room was on the 1st floor off the street and there was a bit of noise, but not really early or too late. I did open the window (the breeze at night was so nice), which magnified the noise level by 10, so there was pretty good soundproofing - it was just not completely noise/sound-proof.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. I only wish their rating here was a bit higher so other people could try them, too.

We chose to stay here based largely on Tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. It's a good, comfortable, clean and welcoming hotel, and not at all far out if you've got no fear of public transport. Our room was facing the piazza, so a little noisy first thing, but tolerable - it's Rome!

Minor quibbles:
a) The shower had what seemed like a thermostat problem, which the staff said 'is working ok' but they'd obviously not climbed in!
b) Mini-bar but no kettle
c) 40-odd TV channels, but all in Italian. We got the weather, but missed the news

Plus points:
i) breakfast was included, good standard continental
ii) tram and bus stop right outside. Use them to get to the metro at Vittorio Emanuele and you're no more than 30 minutes from anywhere.
iii) nice restaurant opposite, as well as a pizza snack bar.
