This hotel is part of a convent so you'll probably see nuns wandering about, but it is a clean and comfortable place to stay. Its close to Santa Maria Maggiorre on Via Cavour, and easily accesible from cavour metro stop and a short walk from the main train station, as well as having a bus stop just outside that crosses the city to Travestere. The hotel is on a busy road and it can be noisy if you are in one of the rooms at the front - however do ask as if possible they will move you. The rooms are simple - bed, desk and chair with a tiled floor and a few religious pictures but are a reasonable size and are very clean. The breakfast is nothing to get excited over but is more than adequate - except the poor attempts at tea making. There are quite a few restaurants in the area - some are better than others. However completely avoid the british pub in the square up the hill at the back of Santa Maria Maggiore but there is a fantastic ice-cream shop just down the hill from the hotel!

In September 2004, my husband and I paid 100 euro per night. The room was VERY clean, it had AC, a private bathroom with shower, free breakfast, TV, and was reasonably quiet. It's within walking distance of the Termini (Rome's main train station), very convenient location. Curfew was 1:00 a.m., which was no problem. The only issue I had was the bed was VERY hard. My husband and I stayed three nights and were surprised we had little trouble sleeping in the hard bed (we were exhausted). The breakfast was good, the nuns served prosciutto (yummy!), salty white cheese (don't know the name), yogurt, juice and I think coffee. I received information about this monastery in the book, "Lodging in Italy's Monasteries." I made reservations easily by email in English.
