The above reviews are true - the hotel is convienently located near the subway, although service shuts down at 11pm, so if you want to stay in Rome later than that, you'll have to take a cab, which can be expensive.
The rooms are very pretty and certainly above what you get for that price elsewhere (although the location obviously plays a role in the price). However, September was a very warm month and the air in our room was not working. They sent a valet, not an engineer to fix the problem because no engineers were availabe until 4pm the next day. He acknowledged that the air wasn't cold and showed me a different room where the air was also warm. He then said all the rooms were like that. I informed the front desk the next morning and the air was fixed. However, it proceeded to make a loud click everytime it shut on and off (the air coming on and off was also loud), which was every 30 seconds, regardless what temperature the thermostat was set at. It kept me up all night. I informed the desk again the next morning and they said they would fix it, which they did not. After coming back that evening and finding it still clicking, I informed the front desk that I had two sleepless nights and was not inclined to pay full price. The manager agreed and said I would receive a discount when I checked out. The third night was the same with the incessent loud clicking - no sleep and turning the air off would have made the room unbearably hot. When I checked out that morning at 5 a.m., the front desk would not honor the manager's promise to compensate me and said that they would not contact her because she was asleep and that I had to pay full price. I informed them that I wouldn't pay and if they charged my card unauthorized, I would report it as fraud. Finally, the guy at reception called the manager who authorized a night off the bill. Personally, this was an issue of principle more than the money due to the fact that I was treated rudely and got no sleep. I noticed a May 2008 post about the air conditioning, but relied on the manager's response that the problem had been fixed. Botttom line - other places are definitely less hassle and less combative when it comes to resolving guest problems.

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
