Wonderful staff, clean rooms, well maintained, comfortable beds, excellent buffet breakfast, a couple of subway stops from the Vatican (long walk), wonderful peaceful grounds.

We had 3 rooms for 3 families with kids ranging in age from 9 to 18 and we were all happy. It isn't a 5 star 'luxurious' hotel but simply an excellent safe clean place to stay at an economic rate.

This is a great place to recharge yourself at any level while you visit the Eternal City!

I stayed there at the Christian Brothers with my class of Seminarians for eleven days and it was a very nice place. It was the Winter of 2001 and it was a bit cold. Food was great and the room service was good. I hope that 11 years after my visit to Rome, I return there in 2012 in July, with a group of Pilgrims from my Parish in Chicago.The only problem is knowing any Italian. Rev. Ric Castillo

We chose Casa La Salle because my brother in law teaches La Sallian Brothers and they recommemded it. And they were right. It is an oasis of calm in a city where tourism is wall-to-wall, noisy and generally ill mannered. It is some distance from the centre, but there is a good metro service (station about 500m away, use the lift on the left as you walk up Circumvalazione Cornelia) and bus number 916 which gets you to Corso Vitorio Emanuele (passing St Peter's on the way). From Corso, the Fori, Colosseo and Laterano are easily reached, also Nabona and Pantheon (good restaurant Ponte e Parione in Via Santa Marina dell'Anima, just off Nabona). Casa La Salle is spotlessly clean. Reception staff all speak English and are very helpful. Breakfast is OK, much better than in many hotels in Rome. Evening meals are typical home cooking and good value for money. Parking is free. You also have access to the grounds, which are extensive and peaceful. The house also has safes, which at 1 Euro for the stay, is cheap. Parking is free. Debit, single beds, no TV, fixed shower which fails to maintain a constant flow of hot, so you sometimes get cold water. Internet access ia free and fast (unless the place is full and everyone else has the same idea). Nice to hear birds in the gardens, which are very well kept. Be careful with taxis. Those in St Peter's wanted 30 Euros. From Piazza del Risorgimento, about 400 m, 10 Euros. Also be careful with drivers from Termini. They wanted to do us for 5 Euros, which he "thought" he had given us in change. Yes, I would stay here again.

Because this hotel is run by the Christian Brothers, Casa La Salle is not the place to stay if you're looking for amazing luxury or incredible amenities. However, if all you want is a comfortable bed, a clean bathroom and a great location, Casa La Salle is a great choice for your trip. The nearest subway stop is less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel, the nearest grocery store is less than 2, and great food just around the corner. Be advised that there are no queen sized beds, or even double beds. Double rooms mean two single beds, so if you're looking to share a bed with someone, you'll be pretty cramped for space. That said, the beds are comfortable, and the staff keeps the (small) bathrooms clean. The complimentary breakfast is absolutely delicious-- fresh croissants and hot Italian espresso are just one part of it. I was there for a week and never got sick of eating the same thing every morning. If you'd like a little more variety in your breakfast food, I would recommend the Pasticceria (spelling?) just down the street on the corner-- I could have spent all of my money there. I highly recommend the hot cocoa! One thing that some members of our group liked was the mass offered in the attached chapel. Even if you aren't interested in the services, it's worth a look at the chapel for its beauty. All in all, Casa La Salle was perfect for the purpose of our trip-- simple, clean, and in a great location.
