Great small hotel in great location
This hotel is in a great location within walking distance to everything. The farthest sight, about 2 miles is the baths of Caracalla. If you are not up for alot of walking,(recommended as you see the city extensively), the metro is 2 very short blocks away. As for the hotel, we have traveled Europe many times so we were not surprised the rooms are some what small, but, very clean and very comfortable. The hotel staff could not be more pleasant and helpful. Very nice and friendly staff. Breakfast was extensive and good. No complaints at all with this very nice hotel. I recommend this to anyone and I would stay here again when in town.
Must see : Pantheon / all ruins in the city / baths off caracalla / catacombs / Trastavere / vatican tour

Good Hotel & Good Location
Although the room was very small, it was certainly large enough for the 3 days we were there. The breakfast was great & much better than what you would expect at most hotels. The staff was friendly & helpful. We would certainly stay here again.

DO NOT STAY HERE--WARNING--HORRIBLE--NOT A 4 STAR HOTEL!!!!
If you are even considering this hotel to stay in Rome- let me be the first to warn you that this is NOT a FOUR star hotel! this is more like a 1 or 2 star hotel. this hotel experience was unlike any other hotel- the worst I have ever experienced! not only was the room full of small hairs on the bed and in the shower and on the towels, the bath tub did NOT drain and my husband and i couldnt even walk around the bed without bumping into each other. the bathroom was so small- that your knees literally bumped and hit the tub and i am a petite woman! after complaining to one of th hotel managers- he continued to argue with me about everything and claimed that they had already upgraded us- what an a total insult. our first room backed up to a busy road with construction and after 2 horrible nights with no sleep- they supposedly upgraded us to a different room which the smell was so bad- i had to leave. and after taking a shower and almost gagging because of all the small hairs which were NOT mine- was the end of the road for me. what a complete disappointment in service, location, and cleanliness. the free breakfast was absolutely disgusting with nothing to good to offer except old hard boiled eggs that were green inside and stale salami. the only positive thing that this hotel offered which was free internet. this hotel was the WORST OF THE WORST AND it was a terrible ending to our honeymoon!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!
