This is OK as a cheap non-backpacker place to sleep at. Location good for walking to all the main attractions. Our room was quite dark, but of a reasonable size, and most importantly it had a modern air-con unit. Bathroom (shower + toilet) also modern, not large but clean. It is in a back lane just across a street from Termini Station but was not noisy. People unused to the squalid types who hang around most European train stations (USA? think Greyhound stations) might get nervous about the neighbourhood though. What threw us at first was that reception (signed Hotel Mirage) was at one door in the street, lift (only to take baggage up&down) at another door, stairs (need to walk up 3 flights) at yet another. Breakfast was perfunctory, after a couple of days the only spread still available for the crostati was Nutella. Reception staff spoke good English, breakfast staff none. We paid by credit card without problem, although like many Rome hotels they made it clear they would have preferred cash.
