The hotel was extremely basic. Fairly difficult to find but if you follow the instructions on one of the reviews further down, you'll find it.
When we first arrived, the hotel 'staff' (an old man and young man and people hanging around most of the time) were fairly hostile. The pool was DISGUSTING. The fridge wasn't plugged in... plugged it in and it didnt work. Then we woke up the next day to drilling and building work going on. I really wanted to leave.
However, the following day (we stayed there for 6 nights for our whole Rome stay), the pool had all been cleaned and filled (which was what the work was for), and the old man downstairs was very kind and friendly. The younger man isn't helpful but he was there overnight so didn't really need to speak to him!
Very quiet area and away from tourist places (good at night and to get away, but difficult as no one speaks english). Room was very clean and free air-conditioning. No breakfast or option to have breakfast either.
Very easy to get to centre of Rome and to find all the sights. Metro is extremely easy to use (16 euros each for a week ticket - very good value). I suggest that you get a guidebook as me and my partner did, which was very helpful to find the sights on the map and to tell a bit about them.
Sights to see: Vatican City (we got a tour which was extremely worth it... skipped 2 hours of queuing and was told lots about it = 40 euros each). Colloseum (not really worth the tour - can look around yourself - 15 euros to get in). Next to Colloseum, Foro Romano, which are some amazing ruins. We didn't go on a tour but might be worth finding out about the history... 12 euros, or half price if you have a student card and/or passport to prove your between 16 and 25. Definitely take your student card with you, if you are student. Will save on sights!! The Fontana Di Trevi (Trevi Fountain) is incredible, and this is where the most restaurants and nightlife is for evening. Emanuelle Monument is unbelievable, soooo huge!
Make the most of it everyday... go out and explore at night around by the Fountain, etc.
Hope this was helpful.

The hotel was nice and clean and the staff were helpful, however, the elevator was not working and it was difficult to get our luggage to the 2nd floor.. It is very close to the subway and located in a quiet residential area, away from the chaos of the downtown. The roos are small although good value for money but there was no breakfast.

We booked a stay at this hotel with some serious trepidation, based upon the other reviews on tripadvisor. Our opinion is that this is a viable tourist hotel if you understand what you are buying. This hotel is very much a European style hotel, and if you are looking for an American "holiday inn" hotel you should be prepared to pay much more in Rome. My thoughts are as follows...
Good: The hotel is very stylish. Our party had two rooms, and while decorated differently, both were very modern looking. The pool area, while small, creates a very comfortable environment.
Bad: The rooms are tiny. Of course, no more so than most european hotel rooms. Each room had about 4 feet around the (excellent) bed on each side.
Good: The location is great, less than a block from the metro line. The hotel is down a short driveway, behind another building, so traffic noise was minimal.
Bad: Very idiosyncratic rooms. One room had a tub/shower, but no shower curtain. One had a tiny shower, no bath. One room had no toilet seat. One room's air conditioning went out when the key was removed, the other room's air stayed on. Nothing major, it just gives the impression that a family put the rooms together without a lot of expertise.
Good: The neighborhood is great! Dozens of small restaurants, coffee shops, and pizza joints. There are two small groceries within a block. Again, I was worried about this based upon a previous review, but we enjoyed the people and the shops of the neighborhood. No other tourists, so we became known to the locals in the coffee shop, and were greeted on the street by several people we came to know.
Bad: The plumbing leaves something to be desired. Plenty of hot water, and good pressure. There is some problem with the toilet siphons, however. When coming back to the rooms there was a faint but noticeable whiff of sewer gas.
Good: Staff. Spoke enough english for us to get by, and taught us some Italian. Enjoyed talking to them in the evening. Also, the hotel allowed us to store our bags in the lobby all day before departure.
Bad: No cable or sat TV, and we only had 2 or 3over the air TV stations. This is a shame, because I enjoy learning about a country through their news and TV.
Good: Quiet rooms. This may be because the other guest were doing as we did, and falling asleep within a couple hours of returning to the room, but we were never bothered by hotel noise. We did meet other guests outside, so I know the hotel was not empty.

So- if all you need is a basic room with convenient access to the tourist sites, this hotel will meet your needs. If you want a large room, a big pool, or a resort style experience you will be very disappointed. I'm giving this hotel a relatively high score, based upon our limited requirements.

PS: To find the hotel from the metro, walk east (away from the bridge) about one block. Hotel is directly across from the eastern corner of a church. Look for a black metal fence and a drive-way descending down a hill on the right (south) side of the street. The number 892 is on the fence. The hotel entrance is 50 feet down the drive on the right.

The only good things about this hotel were the air conditioning and the decor of the room was very modern. It's location was not the nicest, there isn't anywhere nice to walk around or anywhere decent to eat, the hotel was very hard to find, receptionist had poor English and weren't very welcoming, lift was out of order, we stayed on the first floor, the room was very small and our double bed was just two single beds pushed together, we were promised a balcony but never got one, Mini bar was empty, TV was small, had poor reception had and only Italian channels, there was a list of silly rules in the room which was unnecessary. The bathroom only had a shower no bath, Breakfast consisted of a pastry with a small plastic cup of juice, tea or coffee from a coffee shop up the road, The main reason why we picked this hotel over other hotels was because it had a Pool, when we arrive we were told the pool was open from 8 to 8, but when we went to the pool it was green with chlorine, the receptionist said it was unsafe to swim in and that it would be safe the next day but they were wrong for the 3days we stayed there we were told it wasn't safe to swim in it which we weren't happy about.
