this hotel was tidy and clean but unfortunatly because of the staff at the front desk, our stay was made uncomfortable. because we are backpaking europe and turned up at the hotel with our backpacks it seem like we were "lower class" compared to other guests. breakfast was nice and the waitress was lovely, quiet location. dont think we would stay here again though.

Nice enough traditional and old fashioned Italian room. There was a faint smell of cigarette smoke in our room and throughout the hotel. If I had been planning to stay longer than 2 nights, I would have had to leave due to the odor. Also, some equipment outside in the courtyard hummed continuously throughout our 2 day stay. All of that aside, good location, nice staff and EXCELLENT breakfast......

We booked two rooms, one for my parents and one for myself and my wife. The rooms we were allocated were next to each other but not in the main hotel. Our room was very small, you could barely walk around the end of the bed and there was no space for our suitcases. The other room was larger, but the air conditioning didn't work properly. It turned on but then switched itself off after a few minutes and needed to be switched on again. This is fine when you're awake but it got very hot during the night. When we mentioned this to the reception staff their response was "It switches on, then it works!". It took them four days to change the room after no one came to look at the air conditioning unit during this time. The room was immediately given to someone else after my parents had moved out of it. The room my parents were allocated was a similar size and standard. In this room the drains were very smelly and the refrigerator didn't work. As they required to keep medication chilled this was particularly inconvenient. We complained again and they were moved to "the best room in the hotel". This room was in the main hotel and was still basic but it was an improvement on the previous rooms. For the price we paid the standard in the main hotel was fine but if you are allocated rooms in the other building they are substandard! The rooms in the building outside the main hotel are also very noisy, the doors are paper thin and the main power tripped a few times during our stay so no one had any air conditioning or lights!

Another point to note is there are no tea or making facilities in the rooms or available anywhere else in the hotel. They advertise having a bar but it was closed for our entire stay (8nights).

The location is good and there are some nice restaurants a short walk away from the hotel. It is also quite close to a metro station and not too far a walk from the colosseum. There is a continental breakfast which is good and the waitress that worked most days was very efficient and friendly (a breath of fresh air compared to the other staff)!

The hotel was very basic,I was a single traveller and was conserned with some of the other reviews before I went,if I had to stay here again I would make sure it was not a single room,the hotel does not have a bar for a drink at night and does not serve food other that continental breakfast,it is quite close to the underground and close to some eating places,it is also only a 15 minute walk from the colesseum,staff were helpfull.
Private bus from the Airport only costs around 4 to 6 Euros and takes you straight into Rome.
