Great location, in the center of Rome. It is near Repubblica metro stop, and near bus stops. Very friendly staff. The room was very clean. The only problem was that it was a bit noisy, because you can hear the kitchen staff in the morning and the other tenants-if they are noisy. You also get 30 minutes of free internet use of th ehotel's computer. In general I would highly recommend it for a couple, or a group of friends!

We stayed at the Elide for four days in August. The rooms and hotel are minimalistic- small room, pay extra for Air Conditioning (10 euros a night), small bathroom, small tv with Italian channels only. But the location is excellent, close to the train station (Repubblica and Termini) as well as bus stops. We didnt eat breakfast in the hotel as it was just OK. There are a lot of restaurants and vendors a short walk away which I recommend. If you are flying into Rome, the hotel is very close to the Termini station which has a direct bus service from the airport (4 euros a person, can be booked when exiting the airport).

Overall, good experience and would stay again if I went to Rome.

My husband & I stayed for 3 nights in May and were given room 114 which is just off the reception area. We were worried about potential noise however it was doubled doored so it was very quiet. The room was very spacious by European standards and had what looked like the original painted ceiling and door frame. The room had a large double bed which was comfortable; a fridge; Flat Screen TV (all Italian channels); double glazing & Air conditioning (extra charge). The shower room was modern & spotlessly clean. The Room was made up daily. Staff were helpful and friendly. We were charged an extra 10 euros per night for aircon and breakfast for two which is less than the quoted price. Breakfast was very basic - tea/coffee, bread rolls, cakes and jam. It was fine though and there are plenty of places adjacent to the hotel to get food & drink. The hotel is in a very good location on a quiet side street but close to the metro (Republica) and the main Termini. It is also located in easy walking distance to many of the major sites. Bearing in mind how expensive accommodation is in Rome I think that it offers pretty good value for money. When checking out of the hotel we were told that their credit card machine was broken and that we had to pay in cash. This wasn't ideal as we had to run to the bank around the corner to withdraw the cash. It's not the Ritz, but if you would like a clean, comfortable and well located hotel in the centre of Rome then I would definitely recommend the Hotel Elide.

I selected the hotel one night befor arrival. I was surprise to find that the rooms are fully renovated. The shower was great and the bed superb. The location is hust in the middle of Rome with walking distance to any location. I truly recommend it. The rooms are not big but sufficient. I'll be back for sure.
