I stayed in Hotel Cervia with my mother in early June. We stayed 4 nights. I booked the room online and then called the hotel to confirm it. It is 5 minutes away from the Termini station and though that area is rather seedy, Hotel Cervia was an exception. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a room without a personal bathroom in the first floor since it was cheaper and the shared bathroom was very clean albeit small. The room was spacious with high ceiling and the beds were cleaned everyday and even though the room was facing the rather lively street, it never was too loud. I had asked for 2 single beds and the staff had arranged one queen and a single bed so it was great beyond my expectations. I'll definitely stay in Hotel Cervia when I visit Rome the next time (which I hope will be soon)/

a little bit far from station. hotel room is clean. with no lift or air condition. as downstair have restaurant, it is a little bit noisy at night.

I stayed here the last week of October 2010 for 4 nights. My room was clean with a double bed, with a good mattress and soft pillows. I opted for bathroom/shower down the hall, which were also clean, no problem with the hot water. My room had a sink and towels were provided. My bed was made up everyday. I had booked my room and paid on-line and received a discount, so my room was 38 Euros, (equaled $55 Canadian) per night. There is the option of breakfast included but I didn't take that, so I don't know what their breakfast entails as Italians don't eat breakfast the way North Americans do. An Italian breakfast is more or less coffee and some kind of roll or pastry and you can get a great cappuchino and croissant for 1.80 Euros at a neighbourhood coffee place. My room was up on the third floor and I did hear street noise but it wasn't too bad. There is no elevator and after a long day of walking the climb up the stairs was felt. I didn't have a lot of interaction with staff but when I did they were friendly. The free map of Rome that they have at the reception desk is very helpful for getting around Rome by foot and transit.
The location is good because it is a 10 minute walk (or so) from the central train station (Termini) which also has the buses to the airport. The train station is also the hub for subway and public transit. There is a small grocery store in the neighbourhood and a great coffee bar across from the train station (on Via Masala). There are also several resatuarants around.
I travel on a budget and this was my first trip to Rome, I would definately stay here again.

This was my second stay in the hotel (previously Nov 2008). Again it was good value, comfortable and friendly. The linen was changed daily and the room, though basic, was comfy. I don't spend hours in hotels so didn't need any extras although a kettle would have been useful (bring your own). That said, there are plenty of trattorias and bars on the street so if you need that coffee fix you don't have far to go. I wasn't impressed with the breakfast last time so instead used Bar Valentina at No. 65 (recommended). Termini is 5 mins walk.
