Our first night was 2 twin beds in a room were air conditioning did not work facing the street. The worst on our trip. They changed us the next day to a room facing the courtyard which improved our stay. Then the toilet acted up. I tried breakfast one day, worse than on an airline and 5 euros. We expected a lot more.

Carlo and Patricia were very friendly and attempted to make our stay enjoyable. The hotel is very near tram lines that are a relatively short distance to the Termini (train station) and most bus & tram line connections to most of Rome. Hotel not far from large supermarket & great Gelato shop. Hotel beds are hard & free breakfast choices are limited to one type of cereal (corn flakes), croissant & roll with butter and jam, and one choice of tart or sweet bread. It is a good place to stay for a day or two but it gets old beyond that period. Good security as front desk manned 24 hours a day and front desk controls entry to hotel. Windows are mostly sound proof. You will notice the difference as soon as one opens the window (very noisy!). The area around the hotel is a working class neighborhood.

No AC

There is not a 24 hour desk. The AC did not work. We ended up having to leave. We were not going to stay in a hot room like this after a long day on multiple planes and just wanting a comfortable night sleep. We also asked for info about a pharmacy and Carlo said he would tell us tomorrow. We wanted to know upon check in. Check in was rushed. We have stayed at this hotel before and it is not the same. We wouldn't return.

The Hotel was in a nice location, about a 15 minute walk/metro ride to the center of town. The restaurants in the surrounding neighborhood have excellent food. Just wish the showers were a little bigger, but the building is very old, and you get a nice feeling of history while staying there.

Very nice

Stayed for 3 nights at this hotel I was concerned because we'd be arriving after midnight, but check in was quick and the room was ready. The location is great for the #3 tram takes you right to that ancient sites. When we slept too late for the hotel breakfast it is easy to go to the cafe around the corner. There is a restaurant next to the cafe for dinner. The staff at the hotel were nice and helpful.
