The Pulitzer is a modern, minimalist hotel on a main road in one of the southern suburbs of Rome near the Marconi metro station. I was accompanying my husband who was attending a conference, so our stay was a combination of business and leisure. The hotel was clean and well-equipped (air conditioning, wi-fi etc), but the room was small - just enough space to walk around the bed. The main disadvantage was the location, as the hotel has no restaurant, just a breakfast room and a bar, and it was very difficult to find anywhere in the area to eat in the evenings. If you are planning a sightseeing holiday you would probably be better off booking a hotel closer to the city centre.

This Hotel has some plusses. The front desk personnel are efficient, and the hotel is pretty good. We were given a VERY large room, but due to a fault we were quickly relocated to a room nearby. It was tiny, and I mean TINY! The cupboard hardly fitted our things for just two overnight stays. No room at all for moving about: Every time I went to bed/the toilet I banged my right thigh against the very sharp corner of the desk, with the result of coming away with a big nasty-looking bruise. The bathroom was similarly small, with a silly sink. We asked for a top up of toiletries (the supply amounted to one hotel-size cake of soap, meant to do the two of us for two overnight stays), and the smiling staff kindly ignored us. The mosquito we killed in the sink kept us company for a day and a half. The hotel is located very handily near the Marconi underground stop. It overlooks a busy road, and you can tell it is getting wake-up time by the noise of the cars, despite the thick windows. The road is dark at night, and as we were walking back to the hotel at 10 p.m after we had had our dinner nearby we spotted two prostitutes changing into their working clothes just behind a wheelie bin on the main road, a mere 50 mt. away from the hotel entrance.
Breakfast was ok, but prefab. The breakfast staff were efficient and helpful. I had two lovely lattes.
I believe that the original room we were given would have turned out into a better review. As it stands, a medicre choice (despite the plasma screen and fancy design furniture - I kept banging against...) in a mediocre location in Rome.

From all of our hotels in Italy, this was by far the best. The nice room gave us a very comfortable feeling, which is nice after the long and hectic days in the center of Rome. Although the room was on the street side, it was quiet in the room. Breakfast was superb, if we compare it to our other hotels in Italy. The metro is indeed a 3 minute walk and connects you to all area's in Rome within 10-15 minutes. We had a perfect stay in Rome also due to this hotel. I definitely can recommend this to everybody!

This is a great hotel. With its newly and modernly decorated rooms and its close location to metro line b (marconi station is 3-4 minutes walk on the same main street), this is a great place to stay. Very clean and even full of luxury that you will love. I want to go to Rome again, only to stay there. Do not miss it, if you have the chance.
