We spent for nights in the hotel. The hotel is located on the thrid floor of an old house in the center of Rome, near the main train station - Colosseum is definitely walking distance. You should look for the house number 44 as the hotel is not signed from the outside. Rooms are small but nice and tidy, more than enough for a good night sleep after sighseeing and/or party. As the hotel has only a few rooms they were very careful with the space, so in the morning you can hear others coming/leaving or taking a shower - ask for rooms at the back as they are a bit quiter, our was too close to the reception. Also they don cahnge towels at all, which might not be the best practice. They serve breakfast in the room, however it is good only to survive until the first cafeteria - anyway Italian standard. Staff is extremely helpful and are ready to give good ideas what to do during the day.

Absolutely wonderful and very charming little hotel in the heart of Rome. Staying there was part of why our trip to Rome was so fantastic. A lovely and very helpful staff who was always ready to answer to our questions and who tended to our every need.
The rooms were nice, clean and modern, the bathroom, also always very nice and clean with everything functioning as is should.
Breakfast served directly in the room as a part of the price, now that's what I call roomservice.
I highly recommend Auditorium de Mecenate to anyone travelling to Rome, who wishes to save on the accomodation, but still wants a perfect hotel room to return to.

Extremely helpful and accommodating staff, We found Ali speaks very good english and was very helpful in letting us know where to go and see on our visit.
The Location was great and in easy reach of all we needed to do and very close to the train station.
For the price and star rating the room was very good and clean and breakfast was brought to you room when you called reception it was basic but was a good start to your day.
We would use this hotel again and would recommend this hotel to our friends.

We booked our room from hostelbookers.com, and paid less than 30 euro a night per person. The hotel is very conveniently located near the Victor Emanuelle stop on the metro, but if you plan to walk it is a long way from the hotel to e.g. the Vatican or Villa Borghese, better to take the metro.
It is important to have the address and a map in order to find the hotel, since there is no prominent sign, merely a name on the call-button listing. Our hostel in Naples was the same in this regard.
Our room was spotless and comfortable: cable TV, A/C, hairdryer, good and hot water. The only complaint was that one of the shower doors had slipped partway out of its track and was annoying to move, but it shut perfectly well.
The breakfast service was very nice (just call 21 on the inroom phone to summon it) and we found the hotel staff friendly and extremely helpful the whole time, even going so far as to call another hostel for us whose deskperson only spoke italian, so we could change our reservation. We left our luggage with the hotel on our last day so we could explore and it was unmolested. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of this hotel, especailly for the price we paid!
