We stayed for three nights at this lovely hotel with a great location near the train station for those of you planning to travel by train through Europe. It's also near a metro station which is helpful (although the Metro line is not overly huge in Rome). The included breakfast is lovely, especially the red orange juice. The staff is also very helpful. The room we had was nice in size - shower was small, but typical for Europe hotels. Everything was very clean. We booked this hotel using Rick Steves book (which you should get if travelling anywhere in Europe) and tripadvisor reviews and if you book directly with the hotel you should have no trouble with rates (emailing them was very easy and efficient!). There are a few nice restaurants in the area including Target as well, which is helpful after a long day of sightseeing!

We didnt' stay in this hotel BUT- Beware about pricing!! I booked this hotel through Booking.com a few months ago. I emailed them to confirm our price (leaving next week). Alessandro responded and said something went wrong with Booking.com's system and our price was really 110 Euros more for the 3 night stay because they had to upgrade us.

I found this hotel on Rick Steves guide and booked it after double checking with the reviews on tripadvisor. Perfect recommendation!

The location is great - stone's throw from the bus stop and 3 minutes to the Metro. If you are solo (like I was), the area is safe and secure. If you are a walker (again, like I was), the hotel is not too far from the main attractions.

I booked a single room. It was rather small which is only to be expected in Europe and at this rate. But it was very neat and tidy and even fit in a cupboard for my belongings!

I would recommend this place. However:
a) if you are traveling with no more than two rucksacks / suitcases, else you'll have a problem fitting your stuff
b) The shower cabinet was tiny. My Asian frame which is barely 5'3" could manage to use it, but not sure if a bigger person can have a bath there!

Breakfast was okay. Coffee was great. Staff was friendly.

Cab fare from the Central train station is 4 euros; or you can walk it (15 mins)

If you're looking for a hotel with posh amentiies, this isn't the one. If you want a hotel that is well-located, reasonably priced, and with a freindly staff, stay here. Like many hotels of this star rating (2 stars) in Rome, the rooms are small, but comfortable. Nice continental breakfast buffet--lots of choices. Eat on the patio; very nice. A little hard to find, but map it out on Mapquest and you'll be able to locate it without too much trouble. Near Repubblica metro stop--very convenient to the Termini (about a 3 minute walk).
