Don't be put off by the weird cage elevator that you see after you're buzzed in -- use it to go to the hotel reception on the third floor (4th by North American counting) and don't carry your bags up four floors like I did.

The room was a tad ... lived-in, but we glimpsed a couple of other rooms and they looked nice and fresh. My son had recommended it and his room was great. It's right on Cavour, and the Colosseum is right down the street. We had a room NOT facing Cavour, so it wasn't very noisy.

There's no breakfast room, so you get a modest but very nice Continental breakfast served at whatever time you choose, complete with cappuccino if you prefer. Very nice, helpful staff. The restaurant across the street is terrific.

This is a collection of rooms with private bathrooms on the third floor of an pretty apartment building in Rome. It has an old grandeur feel to it with dark wood, golds, and gilt framed mirrors and the owner seems to take pride in the cleanliness and quality of her hotel. The location was excellent being a 5 minute walk from the colusseum metro, and one minute to the cavour metro stop, with lots of restaurants nearby.
The room was beautiful, quiet and peacefull, if a little small. However perfect if you want to go to Rome sight seeing and get a goodnights sleep. There is also a vending machine in the hotel where you can get water for 50c and croissants and coffee for 50-60c, very good value in Rome!

The only downside was that the bathroom was behind a sliding door into the room, which didn't close properly, so it was not that private if sharing the room with a spouse...

I would reccommend this hotel to a friend, or a couple who want a quiet get away to Rome

Although the location of this hotel is excellent and rooms are well presented and clean, we found our stay a little stressful. We were locked out of the hotel at 10pm (the door to the hotel reception was locked) and although we rang the bell and knocked several times we were left outside for about 15 minutes before someone answered the door and we had to ask for a key for getting in again. Whilst we were waiting to get back to our room I noticed a slip of paper clipped to the hotel name on the door that contained mine and my partner's passport details. Breakfast was fairly basic at the cafe up the road (coffee and croissant). Otherwise the facilities of the hotel were ok.

Considering the price, this is a good value hotel very close to the Colosseum. The rooms were a bit cramped (especially the bathroom), but thankfully when in Rome you're only there to sleep as there's so much to go out and see during the day. Rooms were cleaned daily, beds made and towels replaced. No funky smells. Hotel is located on a safe street though not much in the area in terms of restaurants. Colosseum Metro is a 5-10 minute walk, as is the Colosseum and Forum.

Breakfast is simple but will do - it's better than nothing. It's a no-frills hotel, but does the job - and at a good price for Rome too! Book it!
