We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of May 2011. If what you are looking for is a small B&B in the centre of Rome for a reasonable price then The Espana is fine. The room had a large double bed with a safe, air conditioning,TV, en-suite facilities and a small balcony over-looking the back garden/patio area. Everything was very clean with good decor, plenty of wardrobe and shelving space. The breakfast was self-service with a reasonable choice and you could sit inside or outside. Reception is manned 24/7. The hotel is situated on a quiet street just off the busy Via Manzoni and the Metro station Manzoni is about a 5 minute walk away. We felt quite safe walking around the immediate area. There are about 5-6 restaurants nearby, at the top end of Via Manzoni. We ate mainly at the Tempio di Minerva (or BoBo's) at the top of Via Manzoni on the left hand side - always very busy, very welcoming and excellent food at a good price. There is a large supermarket about 2 minutes away from the hotel. I would stop here again.

My wife and I have been traveling europe and we ended up at this armpit of a hotel. Most the staff wAS actually ok, but the bearded guy was just ridculous, and i actually think he was the owner or manager. breakfast i really didnt expect much for continental, but i didnt think id have to turn on the machines 10 minutes after breakfast was supposed to start (twice.) also if i'm in a hotel in a hot area and i need to shower more than once a day just to cool off i should be allowed extra towels, but the bearded dude seems to think there is a shortage of cotton in the world. Dont come here....ever
