The hotel is 20 minutes from the main train station in a questionable but safe area of Rome. Reception staff show an exuberant amount of arrogance bordering being downright obnoxious.The hotel is in need of some TLC but overall we found it to be basic yet clean, unlike the streets of Rome, that are dirty. Room had air-co and in July that is a gift when in Rome. It took 10-15 minutes before the water would somewhat heat up for a nice refreshing shower. The breakfast is decent and for the price you pay one shouldn't complain.

Good room and helpful staff. Cheap for the city, and good for solo travellers. However, a lil distance off the main city, and would require 10 mins walk to the nearest train connection. Silent cozy place.

We stayed for two nights when we were stranded due to the Icelandic volcano, and we couldn't get a reservation at the hotel in Rome where we stayed previously. This is what you used to expect of a European budget hotel: old building that has seen better days, small, dark, dreary rooms, questionable plumbing... The room itself wasn't too bad. Drab decor, creepy iconography, rock-hard bed, and paper thin pillows, but other than that, it was serviceable. It seemed like the place was very short-staffed in the cleaning department. The same dead cockroach that was in the hallway when we checked in was still there two days later when we checked out. The thing that really bothered me was the water. It smelled of sulphur and the stench permeated the bathroom all the time. The shower also only dispensed either scalding or freezing water. No internet access in this hotel for guests, and no TV channels in English, which normally wouldn't bother me at all, but since we were stranded, I wanted to keep updated on the volcano situation. Fortunately I understand French and was able to tune into a Swiss news channel. The hotel location is near the Manzoni stop on the metro, about a twenty minute walk from Termini. Not a bad area, but not much in the way of restaurants. We paid 80 euro a night, but there are better places to stay for that price in Rome. Avoid this one if you can.

- TV was not working in all the rooms for our whole stay and no one was responsible for that!
- The English knowledge of the reception was so little
- It is 15 minutes far from metro station
