The building where the hotel is located is quite old, but the floors that belong to the hotel are recent. I think that they made a reshuffle recently because there were furniture in the halls and the ones in the room were new and quite different than the pictures showed at the Internet (Unfortunately I didn't took any photo). The rooms have TV, air conditioning and private bathroom (with hair dryer).

For breakfast there was a Croissant, toasts with jam, orange juice, milk, coffee or tea.

The staff was really nice and the hotel location was very good.

I absolutely recommend it!

We were originally scheduled to stay at his hotel for 3 nights. We left after the first night. After attempting to use the elevator/lift, we discovered that a key was needed and we were told by the person at the desk that we were not allowed to use it. This hotel is in a building with various other entities. We inquired about internet and were told that there is NO INTERNET in this hotel. The air conditioning was an extra 13 Euro, it was still warm and we needed it to sleep because the street was very noisy and leaving the window open was not an option. We complained and were not charged for the air conditioning. Everyone except the young lady that brought us coffee was very rude. Breakfast was the basic roll and croissant. We accidently sat down at a table set for 3 and were yelled at by one of the staff/owners. There was noise most of the night, it sounded like someone was pounding or dropping barbells on the floor.
After staying in the Florence and Pisa area for a week and being warmly received everywhere we have visited, this hotel leaves a very bad impression. I can not recommend it and would not ever stay here again.

I signed up for this hotel on venere.com and it was not made clear when making the reservation that I had to indicate I wanted air conditioning. We showed up only to find out that there was no air conditioning in our room and it was 35 degrees outside. I went to the desk and when they explained that we had to request it (I checked the website and it was not clearly an option to do so) I asked if they had one available and offered to pay if there was a price difference. They said there was not. So I went to book another hotel. When I went to check out, they said they did have a room available with air conditioning, and I got very upset that the same person said there was not one only 30 minutes before. The room had a squeaky bed, no safe and looked run down. The area also made me uncomfortable. I have stayed in two other extremely nice hotels in Rome on this trip that were a similar price but offered so much more. In their defence they did not charge us for cancelling, but that was only after I got so upset and said I was going to write them up. They blocked me from writing a review on venere where I booked.

We booked the hotel for a special occasion and was suprised by the size of the room, small but in Rome you dont spend all day in there. The furniture was well used but the beds were comfortable (and I am a big guy) and everything was spotless. The bathroom was small but new and again clean. The stairs could be a problem for some but not if you are able to walk around Rome all day. Rome is a large city and the hotel is not in the best area but we felt safe and shops and resturants are good in the local area. It is a great location for just walking around Rome but also the Metro is close also the Terminni is just a short walk. On reflection the hotel is great for a long week end break and the breakfast is ample to get you going in the morning. Thanks to the whole family who put up with our poor attempts at Italian and late arrival on the Friday. Just remember you get what you pay for and you will like this hotel. It is 2 * for 2* money so do not expect 5* hotel.
