We really wanted to get away from London for a long weekend, and no better place to go than to Rome. We contacted the hotel directly, they speak good English, but it helped that my mum is Italian. Hotel is situated on the 4th and 5th floors of the building (there is a lift). It's fantastic that the hotel is literally 10 steps from the entrance to Bologna Metro. Great after a long day queuing and walking in the centre of Rome (which is easy access via Line B from the hotel, or changing to Line A from Termini). You get bus and train tickets (same thing) from the little tobacco shops (there is one a few yards to the left of the hotel entrance. 1 euro for a single, 2 euros for a return (each single ticket lasts 75 mins once you put it through the machines on the buses and trains so you can travel anywhere in that time, the return is a seperate ticket again lasting 75 mins).
Rooms are very nice, great value for money. If you can, get a room which isn't facing the street, as Rome comes alive after 11pm and they are up very early, so you might be woken by traffic if you are not a heavy sleeper.
Rooms are all pretty similar other than that. If you need extra pillows, ask at reception. Bathrooms are a decent size with a huge sink, and double bed is a nice size too. Everytime you leave the hotel, leave your key at reception, it is 24 hours and when the front door is closed just buzz in and they will open the door for you.
The only disappointing part was the breakfast. Just croissants, bread, spreads and coffees.
The restaurants around this hotel are fantastic, tastes just like my mum's home cooked food. The person on reception will recommend them to you if you ask. There were at lest three that were superb and all within 2 minutes walking distance from the hotel.
A tip though, if you are sightseeing or exploring the centre of Rome, please don't go to any of the restaurants near the attractions as the food is so bad, and so expensive, unless you've been recommended by someone you know. Don't listen to any well dressed men on the streets promoting restaurants and home cooked food as it is a lie - we were duped by this. Best to get a light lunch in a pizzeria and have a decent meal near the hotel in the evening.
Get a taxi to and from the airport as the Metro gets so packced it's worse than London tubes, so lugging suitcases may be a problem. Also watch your bags, pick pockets are rife in Rome and on the Metro.
Would definitely recommend the hotel, given the value for money, the proximity to the Metro and they are very helpful.
