When we arrived to the address we did n ot find a Hotel sign,We had to talk through an intercom and we were immediatly let into the building We had to take an old but charming cage elevator to the 3rd floor and were greeted by a lovely young couple. beautifuly and tastfully upgraded. While the room was tiny ,it was quite functional and very clean .A pleasant place to stay. and the price was very resonable. The owner,Georgio also makes the best capucino in all of Rome that would make Starbucks green with envy. He was also helpful in arranging tours for us and making calls for us. He let us use his P.C. to Email back to our home in the U.S. Always cheerful and helpful to make our stay most comfortable. I would go back there and highly recommend this little gem to my friends and family.

We booked this hotel for our stay in Rome as it had ok reviews on tripadvisor and very nice pictures on the web-site. But it turned out to be a complete disappointment. The room was very dark and dirty. I had to ask them to clean it as there were huge WISPS OF DUST on the floor under the beds like it hadn't been cleaned for months. The bathroom was ok. The staff was not particularly helpful with our queries regarding local information and the breakfast lady was extremely unfriendly. Now breakfast: there were not many guests in the hotel during out stay and they apparently wanted to save on breakfast as they served the same old ham for breakfast several days running. It smelt sour and rotten! If you eat it, you end up in a hospital. No wonder nobody touched it and they happily kept on putting it out for breakfast again and again. As for the location it was ok. But no way it costs 150 euro/night as per their rack rate. We booked it for 100 euro per night and it was not worth it. We stayed at many other simple hotels and b&b during out trip in Italy and any of them was way better. Will not return and cannot recommend. You can definitely find something better for the same budget.

I paid 50 euro a night which included breakfast and a queen/king size bed. The bathrooms have showers only, but are totally renovated. The breakfast is very adequate for what you get in other places also, juice, cappucino, "american coffee"--they try at least :) fresh fruit, bread, nutella, jams etc. The rooms are tiny so bring earplugs or a little noise maker for nighttime. Thats really not a problem. I think they only have 11?? rooms. Very nice staff, but they don't speak much english and I didn't speak any Italiano. But as friendly and helpful as can be. So to the nay-sayers--get over yourself. This is a great bargain. On this trip, I also stayed for 2 nights at the Londra and Cargill around the corner. Yuck! There is no comparison. For 125 euros you can keep you bathroom telephone, larger room and overly hot hotel. Let me repeat...for the money....50 euro a night...which was a special....this was the cutest little place to stay.

We spend 5 days in Rome in October which proved to be a great time weather wise: warm but not too warm. Booked the Albergo Piave after a lot of researching on Tripadvisor and I was pleased with the ease of booking and instant confirmation. The location of the hotel is good - easy walk from Termini and plenty of buses into all areas in Rome if you don't fancy walking, although you can walk to e.g. Trevi Fountain in about 25 min. The neighbourhood felt perfectly safe at night and there were plenty of restaurants around although we never tried them, going more into the towncentre. The hotel itself is is a nice place, well decorated and immaculately clean. The rooms are tiny, even smaller than in places such as New York or London. We had paid only 90 Euros per night, which was fine, it would not be worth the rack rate of 150 Euro. The room looked out into a tiny courtyard and although that conjurs images of romantic Italian vistas, it is nothing like it. In fact there is no view, therefore we kept the shutters closed pretty much all the time. But you don't go to Rome for a hotelview! Also, the walls are very thin, so you do hear other guests. We were lucky as there were no noisy people staying. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and polite and breakfast was good for Italian styles. The coffee certainly wakes you up. Overall, I would stay again, but only at similar rates.
