we had a weekend in rome without our young children.. we like nice rooms but dont like been waited on or large impersonal hotels. Crossing is perfect..it has just 5 rooms and a kitchen which has coffee, tea and a fridge full of water, soft drinks and beer. you can just help yourself.. there is a kettle and tea making in the room too. bathroom was lovely too. the best thing about this "hotel" is the location and the staff. we arrived by train and metro from the airport and you come out of the metro at the foot at the spanish steps.. good start. the hotel is a couple of minutes round the corner. we didnt use public transport again until we left to go back to the airport. you can walk everywhere easily. Francesco and Marco are both amasing.. so friendly and with so much information on places to see and places to eat and according to Marco where to get the best coffee in Rome.. maybe in Italy! he also recommeded great restaurants with characterful staff which was exactly what we were after. a fab stay and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone I know going to rome.
