Large room, exceptionally clean, comfortable beds, large - clean bathroom and a quick basic breakfast. All in all, an excellent inn at 2x the price. Very safe with a police station nearby along with Santa Maria Maggiore and a tourist information office right at the top of the street. Several nice restaurant option within a few blocks!

The rooftop garden is large and offers excellent views of the city. I would highly recommend their accommodations. Email them directly to save a few bucks but reserve your room early. With all they have to offer and the prices they charge, they fill up fast.

I recently stayed at Santa Elisabetta Suore as recommended by Rick Steves' travel guide. I reserved my room well in advance via email and confirmed a couple days before. The front staff were able to keep some personal belongings in their safe. They were able to speak English very well.

My single room with bath was very clean. It had a fan and a private terrace with patio furniture. There was a musky smell from the shower drain, but the sisters left an air freshener that automatically dispense fragrance. You can close the bathroom door during the night and all is well.

The rooftop terrace was spectacular. It was fairly quiet during dusk and dawn and you could very well have the entire terrance for yourself to watch the sunset. At times, you can catch the sister's singing from another roof top!

I would stay at Santa Elisabetta again. It was only a short walk from Termini train station and there was an tourist booth just out in front!

We stayed in Rome for four days and this was our oasis from the exhausting city. The hotel is a convent run by Polish nuns who may or may not speak English. If you want to immerse yourself in Rome without the insulation of big, touristy places, stay here. The hotel itself is in a very Roman neighborhood, four or five blocks from the Termini Station. We looked for the steeples of the Santa Maria Maggiore Church to find our way there.
Once you find the church, pass directly across the square in front, and you will cross a busy street with an information booth directly across. From there, the hotel is up the hill behind the booth. It has no sign, only the number 9. It is on the Via del Olmata, so make sure you're on that street.
We had to be buzzed into the place, and got room 32, which was very spacious. It also had three twin beds, which we requested. Breakfast was a very hard loaf of bread with butter and jelly. That's it. We also had a choice of coffee, or hot or cold milk (not so cold). However, we could live with the breakfast for the price, size, and cleanliness of the room. We also really liked the rooftop terrace. We ate all our evening meals there, and had a great view of the Coliseum, Victor Emmanuel Monument, and even St. Paul's in the distance. There is an SMA grocery store across the square from the Santa Maria Maggiore church, and we bought picnic supplies there.
I would recommend this place if you don't mind the bare necessities. We felt safe there, and we loved practicing our Italian on the nuns at the check-in desk.

My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay at the convent. The price was so reasonable, the location was convenient to the Termini, and our rroms were clean and so welcome after a long day of walking all over Rome.

The location is fine, not the swankiest part of town, but I couldn't beat the price for a room with a private bath and a terrific rooftop balcony we could use. It was quite, safe and we felt blessed to have stayed with the Sisters. Waking up in the morning to their sweet voices brought a smile upon our faces.
