I recently stayed at the Royal Home for 7 days during my vacation to Rome. The Hotel was very close to the Metro (Basilica San Paolo) and several buses. The hotel was clean and nicely maintained. It is a small inn with a friendly staff who was helpful and polite. There is a computer in the lobby for internet access, and breakfast was served each morning (although I only ate it once).

The room was small but neat and clean. It has a bed, desk, wardrobe, tv, air conditioner with individual control. The bathroom was *very* small--but this is supposedly standard for European hotels. Despite the small size, and the very small shower, the bathroom was up-to-date, tiled, and clean. There is a cleaning service each day to provide new towels and make the beds and vacuum.

The hotel is a great option for the tourist who spends the day in the city and needs a quiet place to lay for the night. The price is very reasonable and I would stay there again.

This is a lovely, excellent value, refuge to come "home" to after a hard day of sight-seeing. We are a family with 2 kids, ages 6 and 10, and found the room #10 ideal, the staff gracious, and the breakfast (included) very generous. We liked staying out of the rush of the historic center. It took a few extra minutes by subway, but the hotel is literally a couple of minutes from the San Paulo station. It's in a very quiet location, small and family run, except for the rumble of the metro which stops by midnight and resumes at 6am (it didn't bother us). The front desk gave excellent restaurant suggestions for non-touristy delicious food nearby. There's also a grocery close. The breakfast is unusually large: a hot beverage of your choice, and your choice from a buffet of cereals, yogurts, juices, breads, toast, fruit, and cheese. We didn't stay out late at night, so the transportation was never an issue. The hotel seems to cater to a peaceful crowd. Book direct with them. The room was clean, fresh towels and a great bath with excellent shower. I would definately stay here again in Rome!
