The Pulitzer's proximity to the Rome metro system is excellent! It's about a 3 minute walk through a perfectly safe part of town. You walk by a few shops including a scooter store, small grocery store, and a film place I think. There's also a post box right on the way to the metro for all those Colliseum postcards! I never felt unsafe whatsoever during the three minute walk.

The hotel is located at the Marconi stop of the B (blue) line. It's about 8 or so stops to Rome Termini and takes maybe 15 minutes or so. When exiting the metro station, turn left and walk about 800 feet. The hotel is on a corner on the left side of the street.

Served from 7:30 until 10, the breakfast was the best we had out of all the hotels we stayed in. There were fresh orange, honeydew, orange, pineapple, and kiwi slices; sliced smoked turkey cold cuts and deli cheeses, eggs and bacon; rolls, breads, and croissants; a few different cereals and milk; whole fruit; small baguette sandwiches; a few different juices, coffee, and water; and nice jams and other condiments. The breakfast staff was pleasant and the decor, matching up with the rest of the hotel, was quite modern. They had some interesting modern music playing too, it was kind of techno-esque, but nothing was played loud enough to bother anyone. I didn't even notice it until halfway through my first breakfast. Most breakfasts included with hotel rooms in Italy seemed to be some breads, butter and jam, and coffee. This was the first and only that offered a heartier selection.

The room was nicely decorated and we had a small balcony. The bathroom was above average for an Italian bathroom. Black tile with white fixtures. It had a full tub, which was a first, that had this odd half shower door on it. Other than a little water on the floor, it worked just fine. Good water pressure and all, nice detachable-type shower head. The toilet and bidet were rectangular but they worked the same as their oval counterparts.

The bed was comfortable, a little more supple than some of the very firm (hard) mattresses in other hotels. Don't get me wrong, it couldn't ever be confused for saggy or too soft. Nice little minibar in the room with some five ounce glass bottle Coke and Sprite for four euros each. Everything in the hotel is pretty much brand new with a very modern decor. Interestingly enough, all pictures on one wall were put right next to each other in a big rectangle on the wall. It was very odd, but I ended up liking it.

The hotel was great, friendly staff, can't beat the location unless you want to be able to walk to everything, and if you can spend the money, I definitely recommend it!

We stayed at the Pulitzer from for 7 nights from 12th to 19th October as it as my birthday during the week. We chose the hotel as it had not been opened long and it had received good reviews. We were not disappointed.

We travelled by metro from Termini to Marconi - 7 stops. After exiting the station, take the road to the left and the Pulitzer is about 200 metres on the left. For us the location was perfect. It wasn't in the centre of the city but it was quieter for this and we do not consider that the area is creepy - it was quiet and safe as far as we were concerned (but you always have to be careful in any city).

The hotel has a bar/lounge on the ground floor and as we arrived before check in time, we waited there and had a coffee whilst our room was being prepared. The surroundings are bright, modern and minimalist with white leather sofas.

Our room was on the 4th floor and it had windows on two sides and a balcony with a view to the pleasant residential area at the back of the hotel. The double bed was huge but the matress was firmer than I like as I have a bad back and it sat on a wooden slatted base. I softened it by placing two thin duvets from the wardrobe under the bottom sheet - perfect. The room had air con, an LCD TV and a mini bar.

The bathroom was compact with a shower over the bath but it was spotlessly clean and modern with plenty of hot water and had good water pressure from the shower. Fresh towels were provided every day. A hairdrier was available plus dressing gowns and slippers.

There was plenty of variety at the breakfast buffet. The diningroom seats around 60 guests and the chairs are white leather to match the rest of the furnishings.

All of the staff at the Pulitzer were great - very helpful whenever we needed anything. This included opening a bottle of wine for us one evening when we had managed to lose our corkscrew. They also made my birthday special.

We would have no hesitation going back to the Pulitzer when we next visit Rome. My advice to others would be to book directly with the hotel as you will pay a lower rate than booking through a booking agent.

We liked the Pulitzer Rome after our three night stay in Rome. Hotel is close to marconi station - 100 meter away by walking which made romaing the city possible. Area around it is not great though we didnt encounter any issue, except it is certainly lacks any attraction.

Likes: Rooms are clean, new with touch of artistic taste. Bathroom is big /clean with excellent amenities (shower is prefect)- my wife complained that they didnt have a hair conditioner.
Best part is their staff, young , well spoken italian folks(specially Laura) which was instrumental in updating us to a mini suite.
Breakfast was good- nice selection and big room (Breakfast staff were abit rude though).
Check in and out was quick and room service was good
No internet and poor TV channels (few with only 2 English ones) were things we didnt expect from such a new hotel

All in all, a good New hotel in Rome . Would come back again

This is a tough call because the hotel itself is nice, modern, new, decorated very well, all the things I love. However, you are far off the beaten path to go to Rome and the surroundings of the hotel are not the greatest. The walk back to the hotel from the Metro station at night is creepy as it is completely dark and the housing area nearby does not inspire confidence. We were two guys walking back and feeling uneasy, I can only imagine what a woman might have felt like. Actually, I might just advise a woman on her own not to stay at this hotel, I just would say it is not worth it for that reason alone. Once you are at the hotel, it is a very good experience. The rooms are nice, well designed and we even had a large balcony which was nice. There was also a gym which we used every day and appreciated. Breakfast was quite good too. If you find yourself there at dinner time, the hotel restaurant was a ghost town, probably as a result of the prices, but there is a great little neighborhood place nearby, Il Pepperocino or something like that. Again, the walk to get there was a little dodgy, but once you got there is was great, just locals and very fun and full of energy with good food.
The staff, especially Laura, was very nice to us and she even let me use her laptop in the back for a minute or two to print something out, which was nice. It would be better for the hotel to have a computer for guests however. I'm very surprised that a hotel of this caliber does not. All in all, if you are a good traveler and can handle yourself well and don't mind making a trek to a hotel to get a good deal, I would recommend the Pulitzer.
