This isn't a five star hotel. But it's a good bargain choice in the quiet embassy suburb of Rome - walk through the Borghese gardens to get to the city centre.

I liked its period charm, pleasant staff and peaceful location, near decent restaurants. But breakfast was dreadful - there must be a cafe nearby?

Get a bus from Termini - you really don't want to mess with Roman taxi drivers.

A bit old and not renovated recently hotel, but with its style and charm, and very clean. Very friendly and extreemely helpful staff. Breakfast is simple, but if you leave too early they'll give you a take-away breakfast.

Location is a bit remote, you cannot walk to Spanish Steps or anywhere in the centre, it's simply too far and there are no other sightseeing spots on the way. But the hotel is linked to the city center with 3 bus lines, which are also direct to Termini train station, and a tram line direct to Vatican, so unless you really mind public transportation, the location is not a big problem. Provide about 20 min to get to Termini, 15 min to Barberini, 25-30 min to Spanish Steps. Taxi price from Vatican or Termini is less that 10€. Ok if you have a car, though the street is off the toursit city center map.

Overall, for its price it's very good. Feels no worse than any priced 3-star hotel, and much better than a 20-euro less expensive overcrowded hostel.

Just returned from Rome yesterday. Stayed at this hotel. How it got its 2 stars beggers belief. Its run down, not very clean, it needs shutting down and starting again. The room we stayed in was not shown on the web site - and it no wonder - it was terrible. The bathroom was dirty, mouldy, sinks had loads of cracks etc. No air conditioning - like sleeping in a sauna. The breakfast was terrible. The whole place needs shutting down and starting again. I would not recommend this hotel at all. But Rome was very nice - shame about the hotel.

Just back from 5 great days in Rome. Stayed in this hotel. Staff were very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. They recommended a great resturaunt (Rossini's) nearby. The hotel is clean tidy and although not new it has a warm atmosphere. The bed in my room was terrific. While the hotel is a little out of town ( but in a nice area) a 52 bus will take you to the centre near Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps and a 910 bus will take you to Termini. You can get a bus ticket in the tobaccoinists near Rossini's.
The breakfast was a little uninspiring but adequate.
All in all a good value for money hotel in a nice area with helpful staff. A great base for exploring Rome.
