Great hotel! Just a few minutes to Termini, on bus. Not very close to city center.

Our travel agency booked this "good value" hotel in Rome. The hotel is the middle of nowhere. This hotel is ideal for group tourist since they have their own transportation. There is no metro station nearby and you have to walk awhile to the bus stop .

Unless you are an Italian, do not think it is "easy" to ride the bus. We took the bus 3 times and we always missed the stop on our way home..... it's not easy to remember landmarks in a historical city coz all the buildings looks the same (they have to conform with the city planning architectural code). Similarly the bus route going towards and out the city is different.

Getting lost in the outskirts of historical Rome is not Priceless...it is scary!!!! Get "lost" in the nice part of Rome like the Vatican, Spanish step or the Trevi fountain area.

Get a hotel near a Metro stop. Look at the google map and you'll find out Hotel Albani is the only hotel in its area (wonder why no other hotel owners would put one nearby?)

20 min walk from termini or 5 min by bus ( line 86 to termini, line 63 to via del corso and trastavera).

Clean, nica design. Good service.

Stayed here for three nights in December. The rooms were free for us so I can't say how I'd have felt if I'd paid for them. That aside, some comments: avoid the first floor. The street can be noisy. If you're very unlucky (we were) you'll be directly above the hotel's load-in area and, before dawn, you'll be woken by the comings and goings of the staff, and whatever objects they were rolling in and out. We asked to move on the second morning and were lucky enough to be able to swap with a friend who was leaving. We got his 5th floor double room, overlooking the courtyard (you'd be well advised to ask for a room overlooking the courtyard, just in case you get the noisy street side). Much better. The decor were decent, the beds were decent, the breakfast was oaky. It was all a bit average. The bar could be pretty nice if they dimmed the lights, turned off the TVs, played something other than ropey Euro-pop, and if the barman would hand out a smile now and again. The staff, in fact, are what let the hotel down. In three days we were smiled at by two of them, out of maybe twenty. There just wasn't any warmth, and you can live with cold staff if the hotel is impressive in other ways, but it isn't. It doesn't have any pretensions to be a high-class joint, but it would do well to raise its standards overall.
