This hotel is ideally situated under 5 minutes walk from the Termini station. The check in was easy and the room we had was right next to the breakfast room. The room itself was perfectly adequate. Clean and comfortable and the bathroom the same with a good enough shower. Room was a bit dated but perfectly fine. Breakfast is the usual continental breakfast but a bit too sparse for our liking. Everybody on the front desk was always very helpful when we needed anything and it helped that their English was fine. From here you can walk to the Coloseum in about 35 minutes if you like as we did. The metro is only 5 minutes away and this is a good idea as it's quick and easy to use. The old style lift is a nice feature here too. Would stay here again.

TIP: If you are flying into Ciampino airport be careful. If you have no shuttle bus booked, you can get a taxi from here easily. We arrived late at night so got the taxi. It should be €30 to the Termini station which is near the hotel so, if they take you around the corner, you would think that it wouldn't cost that much more. WRONG. It cost us €50. If you get the taxi, get them to take you to the station only and make sure it's just for the €30. From there walk and save yourself €20. If they make a fuss, tell its €30 as its stated everywhere at the airport taxi rank from Ciampino to Termini. And take their number.

A well situated hotel with good value for money. Friendly staff, nice looking rooms with 19th-centuryish style to suit your art-packed Rome experience. Especially the breakfast room was atmospheric with lush curtains and wallpapers. Well equipped and clean bathroom, shower worked fine (temperature, water pressure), which is not always the case in Italy. Only two minus sides: Hard beds and bleak breakfest, no fresh fruit or decent juice.

The room is small but adequate for a 3 night visit where we only slept there. Location is terrific. 2 blocks from Termini for rail and metro. Breakfast spread is continental style but plentiful and breakfasts are pricey in Rome to eat out. The staff is pleasant and helpful. We would stay there again in similar situation. There is a restaurant across the street that has great food.
There is a small elevator. This is a city hotel so don't expect views.
