“Pretty good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

In the middle of a student area, with gritty urban surround sits this old villa: a haven of peace and elegance.
It's a simple hotel. Rooms look and feel historic: not everyone's taste, but rather lovely. Windows have old shutters & you awake to the sounds of Rome, open sutters and observe the patio with trees and birds and bright sunlight. It's all rather lovely.
Service matches the hotel: polite, courteous, even elegant: old worldly in the best way.
Location is odd: feels like hotel shoudl be with its cousins back in the Aventino: but if you need to be in this part of town, it's a gem.

Good service, nice location for young people
Although not near the center of Rome, has good restaurants and bars near the hotel.
Nice clean room
The service at reception was courteous and patient.
Average breakfast, but good.
Excellent price in relation to value

“Decent choice for the euro-conscious traveler”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2010

It was an oppressively hot July, and only on my second day did the cleaning staff switch on a button for air-conditioning that I hadn't found--but that was my fault for not having asked. The hotel is respectable and a fair share of its clientele appears to be Europeans coming by car. The hotel is east off the railroad tracks leading into Termini station, just outside Rome's ancient walls -- not really close to any of Rome's treasures, but within reasonable walking distance (even on a blisteringly hot day!) of Porta Maggiore, the university quarter, and the priceless church of San Lorenzo. If you're relying on public transit, you'll need to connect by tram or bus to one of the principal lines or to the Metro. Still, I got a great rate for decent quarters, and when peaking into the other rooms being cleaned I think mine was by no means the best in the establishment!

“Fantastic Service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2010

We have stayed in this hotel before and we will stay again. We were caught up in the volcanic situation re Iceland. The staff at this hotel were very helpful. We had booked out and when we phoned them from the airport they told us to come back and even if they could not guarantee our previous room they would make sure we had a room for the rest of our stay. They could not enough to help us through the difficult few days. We know Rome very well and we like the bohemian San Lorenzo district. There are plenty of amenities, markets and shops available. Yes. you do have to travel to the landmark sights but this area has a real buzz to it. It is also the university district so there are also many bars and a fabulous trattoria called Armando's in piazza Tiburtina. The rooms are clean and fresh the breakfast is plentiful and varied and the value is excellent for 3 star. We will use this hotel again as a base for when we visit Rome.

“Great value, but not so great for everything else”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2009

This is a hike from Termini, if you have a lot of luggage take a cab and make sure they run the meter (the taxi driver tried to charge me €25 for a 3 minute cab ride). Easy to get to public transport and walk to termini if you don't have a lot to carry. I paid €45 a night, which I think is a great deal for a room in Rome. The room was clean, but the bathroom had mildew and the shower didn't drain quickly and there is no safe. Wireless was available for €7 for 48 hours but only works reliably in the lobby or first floor. Also, international phone cards don't work in the room. The flat screen TV is nice and has a lot of channels, however almost all are in Italian. My room faces the courtyard so it's very quiet, apart from other hotel-goers coming and going. I would recommend this place overall if you don't mind staying in a less than perfect hotel. I felt safe and comfortable. If you want a romantic getaway, this is not the place. However, if you plan on just using your room for sleeping and showering and spend the rest of your time experiencing Rome, this is a great value.
