Stayed at this hotel for a week and really enjoyed our stay! Rooms were very basic and quite small, but had ample space for the trip and also everything we needed. Hotel and rooms were very clean, cleaned daily with fresh towels. Breakfast was great; buns, cold cooked meats, cheese, coissants, jams, juice, tea, coffee, fruit, etc. Plenty to set you up for the day. About 3minute walk to nearest metro station, lots of buses nearby and only a 15 minute walk (max) to the colusseum and many restaurants around it. We walked to everywhere within the city, even the Vatican! Streets around are well lit and we felt perfectly safe. What really made the stay was the owners, an old Italien couple. They didn't speak English but were very helpful, understanding most requests (they lent us glasses, corkscrew, extra towels, etc) and provided help on getting to places around Rome. Anything too complex and you could ask their son, who is in during the day and speaks good English. All in all they were wonderful, happy and friendly people who couldn't help enough! A perfect hotel for a good price!
