We arrived at the hotel before check in but they were more than happy to hold our luggage for us until then so that we could go and wander around straight away. Shown to room which was above the breakfast room, and I must warn that this could be loud, I'm a good sleeper and I heard it, so recommend taking earplugs if you think this might bother you.
Room good size, basic but clean, was always out anyway. Didn't have any issues with the bed really, was so tired from walking around all day it didn't matter too much. Tv with cable but mostly italian, no coffee/tea making facilities but fridge so we bought bottles of coke and kept them in there. One thing we realised - very expensive to buy small bottles when out and about, so got ours from super market which is near buy or bought local drinks such as cappucino when out as they are cheap!
Breakfast was nice with good continental selection, meats, cheeses, pastries, youghurts, fruit etc. And staff made the coffee of your choice for you in the morning.
Some say that the area is dodgy, I didn't think it was. Never felt in danger when walking around, although there was one time when we got off at termini station at night and walked back when there were some people hanging around which was a little intimidating (although they didn't bother us), but we got off at castro pratorio most other times which is nearer to the hotel, and is one stop from termini, so we just changed as the metro is very easy to use and you can travel for 70 mins on 1 euro.
The hotel was in a good location for us personally, as it was a little bit out of the way, but still close enough to everything. It didn't take very long to get anywhere at all. And maybe made it a bit more of a novelty when we did go out, as opposed to walking out of a hotel directly in front of the trevi fountain for example. Although some people may prefer somewhere closer and more convenient so bare that in mind.
We would stay here again upon returning to Rome which we hope to do at some point, staff were nice rooms were adequate, location just fine for us.
Also, the hotel runs a restaurant down the same street, that do great seafood dishes (recommend the seabass!) cant think of the name but ask at reception.
Also, recommend staying for a minimum of 3 night, we stayed for 2 but had 3 whole days and didn't quite feel it was enough. Have a great time!
