Me and Boyfriend stayed at the Igea over new year 10/11. I booked it in October and all other hotels in the centre where already creeping up in price but the Igea seemed reasonable.
Plus points
The location is great, you are within walking distance of just about everything apart from St Peters which is a short metro ride away which you can get from Termini station which is no more than 5 mins from the hotel. The best way to see Rome is to walk, its tiring but really worth it as you see so much more.
The rooms are fairly basic but very comfy and very very clean, which is the main thing that attracted me to this hotel from other reviews.
The staff are all very helpful and speak very good english and are able to assist you with most things that you ask.
Breakfast is included, yes it is a little basic but is fine for a quick meal before heading out sightseeing. There are plenty of other restaurants around if you want something more for breakfast.
Bad Points
I know it is a city and noise is to be expected but it is noisy, on the first night the people in the room above us seemed to be moving all the furniture round at 2am and we heard every movement they made for the whole trip. This is not really the hotels fault (more, disrespectul fellow guests) and i feel fairly sure all hotels will be the same. You do hear street noise and it was especailly noisy with it being new years but this didnt bother us as much.
Overall i loved this little hotel, it had a certain charm and i would definately recommend it.
