best part of this hotel is the location! close to everything! we literally walked everywhere (colloseum, spanish steps, trevi fountain, forum , palace, took subway to vatican city) ! also a block away from the train station. so easy to get around in Rome. Safe area to walk around at any time. English speaking staff. room was small but adequate and nicely decorated. good views from our balcony. quiet room. good hotel for the price we paid. I would def book it again if the price was right. location location location!

Location is fantastic. We were there for 4 nights in October 2011. We had two rooms- one was moldy and in disrepair. Our view was scaffolding...The last night we had to change rooms and the difference was night and day! Wish we had the second room the entire time. Second room had a quaint balcony. The breakfast was not good. The cheese was pre packaged in individual plastic slices ( like Kraft)..certainly not what I would have expected in Italy.....only boiled ham on the breakfast too....Staff was hot and cold at times.....Can't beat the location- minutes to the Spanish Steps/Trevi Fountain and the metro....If we go to Rome again, I would look for another place....

We stayed here in September 2011. The location and can't be beat - Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and metro stop are only a few blocks away. Colleseum is maybe a 20 min walk from hotel. The room was small by US standards but comfortable. We stayed on the 4th floor and with the window open at night, it was pretty quiet and with the window closed you couldn't hear any outside noise! Bathroom was quite large. We found the staff to be quite helpful, even made us a dinner reservation. The elevator was quite entertaining, as it is probably the smallest one I've ever seen and we couldn't fit in it with our luggage, which got a ride of its own in the tiny elevator. Rates were quite reasonable. We would definitely stay here again.

The room was adequate & clean but we didn't get a requested wake up call and it was difficult to find staff. When the staff was available, they were helpful but we felt like we were being pressured to order a cab in advance and to buy "hop on hop off" tickets right away. We could easily have walked down the street and bought them onboard and we would have had a chance to decide among a number of options rather than just one company. The building was being repaired so there was scaffolding and netting in front so we couldn't see out the windows and it was a little unsettling to have a workman right outside your window when you got out of bed.
