My wife and I recently stayed at this convent the end of October 2005...it was ok with me but my wife threatened me that if she had to stay at a place like this again she would never go back to Rome. Well let me address the positive first. Their location is their only asset. Its within a walking distance of between 10 to thirty minutes from almost everything. The spanish steps are one block away. That is, if you are interested in sitting in the overrated steps and shopping in the extremely high priced touristy Via Condotti. but someone goning on a "convent" budget is not gonna be interested in paying $1000 dollars for a pocket book. Basically the hallways are "Dingy" the lights are kept off...eery feeling....the rooms are small and the lighting is Dim.. difficult for women to apply some makeup...We felt the place was very dirty and not cleaned properly. Bad tiny elevator, gets stuck. Spend a bit extra and get a hotel. do yourself a favor and go in style. the early curfy 10:30 stinks.
