This is not really a hotel - more like a B&B. The staff are helpful and did their best to accommodate our requests but we had chosen the place based on the description on venere.com saying that there was wi-fi in the rooms. There was no internet (not even dial-up) and this created a big problem for our work. They knew that it was vital to our stay and so they kindly let us use their work station but this was also the reception desk and so it was a bit awkward. The room was v small and the bed was v uncomfortable (too hard) so we tossed and turned for 2 nights. A few things were broken (toilet flush was all cracked and the electricity sockets by the bed didn't work) and this was a bit disappointing for the price.

It is a wonderful little inn with just six perfectly served rooms..I loved my stay!
It is very close to the heart of rome..15 minutes walking from Trinita dei Monti,5 minutes from the Termini station.

Read the posts on this hotel before going so was quite aprehensive. First thing is that you can easily walk from the Termini without getting on the metro. Start as you mean to go on as you will be doing alot of walking! When we arrived we got the lift up to the first floor (the only time we actually used it!). Yes it is old and the bell is annoying but hey, when in Rome!! The hotel is very small, only 6 bedrooms so don't expect anything on a grand scale. Saying that, when we arrived (around 12.30pm) we were shown to a twin-bedded room. When we asked if we could have a double they immediately showed us to another room. Only downside to this room was that the window was about 12 foot off the ground so no view at all unless you are a basketball player!! Also the air-con didn't work but both of these were not big problems. Bathroom was more than adequate with a shower etc with hot water on demand. Breakfast was ok, croissants, sweet rolls and dried toast, jams and butter choice of tea or coffee. Set us up nicely for the day. The hotel is pretty central and the buses are brilliant. I would not say it is really near to any of the major sites but everywhere is so easily accessable, no more than 30 mins walk or 10 mins bus ride. Would recommend this hotel as a good base, we just showered and slept here!!

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in May 2004, and it was very disappointing. The entrance/reception area is awkward and as uninviting as the slow, dilapidated elevator. The various desk clerks were pre-occupied with their own phone calls and newspaper reading. The coffee & packaged toast breakfast was a joke. Overall, we felt "had", and this bad hotel experience took away from our enjoyment of Rome.
