From reading other reviews I expected this hotel to be terrible however this was not so. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the Termini where you can get the metro to anything such as the Coloseum and the Vatican, as well as a bus to the airport. It is also situated near restaurants. The hotel was perfect for our budget. A nice friendly room of decent size, comfortable and clean. Although the owners didn't understand much English they tried their best and always welcomed us with a smile. There are 8 flights of stairs up to this hotel but there is a small lift to use. The only down falls of this hotel was the shower and the tv was not in english, but as we had gone to Rome to see the sights and not to watch tv this did not bother us much. For those of you on a budget, wanting access to the sights and staying for a few nights this hotel is very good and I would recommend it for you.

We booked a romantic 4 day weekend with a double bed, what we got was 2 single beds in the same room. A hike of 8 flights of stairs to get to reception and a not easy to find hotel, it took nearly 2 hours and help from the locals. This hotel made us pay before we even saw our rooms. Ask to see the room and then pay, if you don't like it leave and let them charge the one night fee to your credit card, you will be glad you did.

We paid up front and were not satisfied with our room for two reasons, one reason was we had a double bed confirmed but upon our arrival we received 2 single beds that couldn't be fixed until the next day. Secondly we spoke to the manager and thought we were under a mutual agreement that 3 of the nights would be credited back to us. When we received our credit card bill we had been charged for all 4 nights and never stayed one night. We contacted the manager again and he refused to refund our money and the credit card company also refused to refund our money. To this date we have still not been refunded our money and the only thing we didn't care for in Rome was that hotel. The hotels we ended up staying in we're well worth the extra €20 we paid for them.

We booked all of our hotels on-line and this was the only one with which we were extremely disappointed. The hotel is isolated, a very long walk from the train station and then through two sets of locked gates. (give the area-we assumed for good reason) The room was disgustingly dirty (you can actually see the dirt on the walls!). We decided to cut our losses and find another hotel to stay at- even though it was a holiday weekend in Rome. The picture posted? Nothing like the dingy rooms provided.

We arrived later than expected due to traffic from airport. The map provided to find hotel isn't entirely accurate and so trailed our suitcases, (our first time in Italy), for a bit trying to find it late at night. Finally and wearily we found it. Young chinese chap welcomed us (difficult communicating as the family who run hotel do not speak English, nor us Chinese!). You pay UP FRONT and in CASH, bare this in mind! 90 euros for twin room. Comfy, clean beds. Breakfast not overly inspiring, iced croissants/crackers/cereal but a clean bed for the night was our main priority.
