Pretty basic hotel, and I would say is more like a 2.5 star not 3. It was a good location, walking distance to the Vatican.
The staff was very kind and helpful- our first room was pretty dirty and the floor was broken but they allowed us to change to a different room that was a little better. The hotel smells old and musty, even with the new furniture.
The breakfast was good- it was the same every morning with a pretty good selection.
I would not stay here again and would personally pay a few more dollars for a better hotel.

Rooms are small, spartan and lack any décor. Breakfast is basic, same every day. Worst part is hotel location. It is in the middle of a very steep hill directly on a very busy boulevard, extremely narrow sidewalks and poorly lit- very scary at night. To get anywhere it is a 10-15 minute climb uphill (Vatican) or downhill. Best to use bus stop in front- comes every 15 minutes but need be familiar with bus routes. If have luggage definitely use a taxi- do not take the train- you have to pull luggage 0.7 km steep hill, narrow dark side walk, with cars coming full speed at you. Map apps do not do well directing you from train station. There are much better areas to stay.

I gave 3 star as my shower was clogged for 2 days and I was unable to take shower. It did not help bringing attention repeatedly to the front desk tall guy as he really did not seem to care. However, there was a lady in the front desk on 9th morning who immediately took care of it. She was extremely efficient as she helped to call taxi and took care of my bathroom light. so for her I will give 5 star and for the tall guy, 2 star: otherwise the room was clean and breakfast was great. Only one restaurant close by.

I want to express my congratulation for the staff of this hotel, they all the time help us with our first time experience in the city, they front desk guys were awesome and very kind with us, now moving to the hotel, is a 3 star hotel, that’s the fact, don’t expect accommodations of a 5 stars, rooms and breakfast are ok if you want something low cost and close of the Vatican, you can go walking from there, is like 20 min walk l, other positive thing is in the front desk they sell you the bus ticket and just few meters from there is the bus stop 46 that can take you to the most of the main attractions of the city. Once again the guys on the front desk make the difference. Good job there.

Great place to stay for a family of 3 to site see Rome. The hotel is about 20 minute walk to St. Paul's Cathedral. The room itself is split into 2 bedrooms without doors. The bathroom entrance is from the master bedroom and this splits the 2 bedrooms. The beds where very comfortable. Room has a refrigerator and hot water pot for making coffee or tea both where supplied. The bathroom was very small and crowded with a sink, toilet, bidets and shower. You would always run into one or the other when going in. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend for future stays.

Rooms were big for 4 people, we can still able to walk without bumping into each other. Everyday after a day out, we came back with clean bedroom and fresh linen.
The location is about 15 minutes walk to the Vatican City. Bus is also just across the hotel, bus 46 and 49 to catch if you want to go to the Vatican City. The metro station which is Via Aurelia is about 10 mins away to the hotel.
Breakfast were great, plenty of selection from scramble egg, bacon, sausages, salami, cereals, fruits, bread and pastries.

The hotel staff is very friendly and caring. Good breakfast. In terms of location, it is not a central point with walking distance to major attractions, but it is within less than 10 minutes of walking distance to metro station that allows to reach anywhere in Rome. Considering that the hotel is old, it definitely needs to take care of some maintenance issues and also do some non major plumbing work. For example, water occasionally drops from the air conditioner straight to the floor, toilet seat is old and comes out and so on. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay there again.

I booked an airport transport with a referral from the hotel and the driver did not wait for us leaving us stranded. Do not book airport transport through them. Our room smelled like pee when we first arrived. On our 3rd night there, we found that pieces of the ceiling were coming off due to a water leak, we had to switch rooms. The shower is super small, one person can barely fit without moving much or turning. The place is far from major tourists’ sites, the closest would be the Vatican which is about a 20 minute walk uphill. You have to buy water at the next door market otherwise, the hotel does not offer free water unless you want to drink from the sink.
Front desk staff are friendly. They are able to communicate in English and Spanish. The lady helping with breakfast in the morning is rude.

Good hotel with a location issue

There are pros and cons with this hotel. The pros are it is a clean, modern hotel with spacious rooms and a good full breakfast buffet. The cons are the location. The 7 subway stops (12 min) from Termini was not bad, but the walk from the Valle Aurailia station was terrible. It’s was a treacherous, confusing 10 min uphill hike along a busy high speed road with little or no sidewalks. (Hint: exit the station to the right, go through the tunnel, then take an immediate left u-turn up a flight of stairs. At the top of the stairs go left along the treacherous road). Also except for a small market and a one table wine bar, there is nothing else in the immediate area. An 8 min walk down 2 sets of steep stairs (50+ stairs each) you will find a nice neighborhood center with some restaurants and a supermarket. And if you think it’s close to Vatican City, think again. It’s near one of the outer walls, but it’s a hilly 20+ minute walk to the nearest entry gate.

The hotel was comfortable & clean. Enjoyed the breakfast provided. The Vatican is within a long walking distance and the walk is not an easy one. Every place in Rome seems to be up hill ;-) Restaurants are also not close by. Used a food delivery service one evening, otherwise we ate while we were out & about. We were able to walk to the metro station (downhill to the station & back up the hill to the hotel...not for the faint of heart). Also beware of pick pockets on the train. They warn you but it happened to one man in our group. We were in Rome during the Ryder Cup. Taxis were just not available so we had to walk more than anticipated. The one taxi we did get from the train station to the hotel was way over priced at €100.

Areas that needs improvement: The bed was a bit uncomfortable. The sink in our bathroom was flooding and the towels had stains in them. I wish you also added options for your eggs, we stayed there for 8 days, not much food choices. There were also no free bottled water daily. We just got them on our first night. Overall, it was okay.
