We stayed at Hotel Picasso for 4 nights at the beginning of Nov. Low season had started and the price was amazing. There were 7 people in our group and we had 4 rooms. All of us were happy with the hotel. Yes, it was a little bit inconvenient having to drop our keys at the reception desk in the Caravaggio Hotel a block away, each time we went in or out, but it was no big deal. Yes, the elevator was old and required a ten cent piece to work, but if you were on the 4th floor (appears that rooms only are on 1 and 4th floors) the reception desk gave you the coins and no doubt you could ask for more if you ran out. The breakfast room was very small as people have said. But only once during our stay were any of us not able to get a seat when we first came down. There are not very many rooms at this hotel so they do not need a large breakfast room. The breakfast was very good. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, toast, croissants, buns, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, cookies. We certainly found it to be good enough! We had been given a triple room on the first floor, so it was very spacious and we were able to leave our luggage opened on the extra bed. The bed was fairly firm, but we find that to be the case throughout Europe. We had no complaints about the cleanliness or quietness of the room. The air conditioning unit worked very well and with the windows closed we heard no sounds from the street. Our friends in other rooms found they slept well also. One room on the fourth floor had a foam mattress which they reported was very comfy. One person had booked a single room, thinking that it would be cheaper. It was only 1 euro less and it was so tiny she could barely move around. However when she complained after the first night they moved her into a double room and she was more than happy with the management. We loved being able to call from room to room on the phone since you can't just go to visit at another room as there are interior security doors. Our only complaint about the hotel is that it is very inconvenient that there is no wifi in the hotel. However, we were able to take our laptop over to the reception desk and sit in their lobby and use the wifi. They also had a guest laptop there that we could use. So although it was inconvenient, it did not bother us all that much as we do not go on vacation to Rome to spend much time on the computer!! One thing we were really impressed by was the reception desk staff. They all had excellent English and they were SO helpful and informative. We had the lady there one day book us a company to take the 7 of us to Civitavecchia to catch a cruise ship. And we were more than pleased with her help and with the arrangements she made for us. The location of the Picasso is good. It was about a ten minute walk to Termini. There were some nice restaurants in the area of the hotel and we felt very comfortable walking around the area at night. We would gladly stay at Hotel Picasso again (if the price was right). It is not a fancy hotel, but it met all our needs. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, economical, had a decent breakfast and it was close enough to the Metro and train station. So unless you are really fussy about your hotels, I'd say give it a try. We saved a lot of money by staying here and we were happy with the hotel.
