We stayed here for two days and it was a mixed experience. When I booked the room over the internet I got a phone call from the manager asking when exactly I'd be arriving, as he needed to make sure that someone would be there. When we arrived at the agreed time, though, the hotel was locked and nobody could be found. This was extremely annoying as we'd had a long journey, the phone numbers given on the website didn't seem to work, and the mobile number of the manager was switched off. Eventually some other guests arrived, let us in, and advised us to go next door where there is another hotel under the same management (we had not been told this). Eventually everything was sorted out but it was a stressful experience.

The hotel itself is generally fine - the sitting area in the back where you have breakfast is nice, and it's good to have use of the kitchen. However, the hotel is very small, and the rooms open out onto reception. This means that it can be very noisy - you basically wake up when everyone else gets up for breakfast. In terms of location, it's a good ten minutes' walk from the main train station, and probably about twenty minutes from the Colloseum - quite a walk really.

I suppose €50 a night for a place in Rome (what we paid) isn't too bad, but I don't think I'd choose the same place again.
