Nice hotel, very clean with friendly and helpful staff. Location can't be beat, if you can deal with a little walking you can its close enough to see all of the most famous sites without even getting on a bus.

Very good hotel, clean and close to many of the interesting sights of the city, bus stop is right in front of the hotel. Vatican City and Coliseum are just a short bus ride from this hotel. We would definitely recommend it to anybody visiting Rome. Breakfast buffet was good as well. Few cons, no ice machine or secured internet. More

Taxi from hotel to airport Fiumicino 45 euro + 5 tip, about 40-45 min. Taxi hotel to Roma Termini (Central Train Station) 12 euro + 3 tip, about 15 min. Hotel. Staff is nice and helpful. Rooms are clean. Breakfast 6:30 to 10:30 am, continental. Try to avoid upper floor (5th), can be too hot. Second floor is much better.... More

Hotel is in a great location, only 5-10 min walk to Spanish steps and Trevi fountain across the river. About 15 min walk to Vatican, we used Rome app on iPhone... More

Good location, clean,but breakfast very disappointng. Little choice. Had to clear table before able to sit and eat. Breakfast staff very indifferent, too busy talking with "favoured"guest, and describing special orange from the garden!! Guys at reception very nice and helpful.No information in the room regarding hotel or surroundings..... however would recommend as base for visit to city. More

The hotel is placed in a great location, just 10 min walking from Spanish Steps and the main sites. When we entered the room, there was a really weird smell coming from the furniture and the carpet (that reminded me of my grand-mothers home), however after leaving the window open for a few hours every day, we could not notice...

I stayed at this hotel in April,2011. The location was excellent. But the staff was not so friendly and the rooms were very small. In all fairness my wife complained about the room and they did upgrade to a top floor suite. average size room not a suite. More
