Just returned from a 3 night stay. Emailed beforehand to advise it was our honeymoon and we were upgraded to a mini suite complete with private terrace! Bed was comfortable, bathroom clean with jacuzzi. Breakfast was the usual buffet of rolls, jams, cereals, selection of cold meats and cheeses plus hot scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage - again buffet style. All staff we came into contact with we're friendly. Hotel is 10 mins walk from the Trevi fountain. Slightly further to Coloseum. All main sights are easily walkable though - including the Vatican which took us about 45 mins or so. Rome really is amazing but it's a city and the prices reflect that. Expect to pay (in euros), 10 for pizza / pasta dish, 6-8 for a glass of wine or beer (cheaper or about the same to order a bottle of wine as it is to buy two glasses). There are deals to be found however - especially so if you take yourself away from the main tourist traps and explore it little. 3 nights was just enough to see the main sights but anyone with an interest in history, art or just wants to explore at a less frenetic pace would be better at av4 or 5 night stay.
