“Excellent location”

Very well located, metro is a 10 min walk away and cheap 1.50 euro each way or worth getting a 24hr /48hr pass if you plan to use it multiple times per day. There is a lovely park next to the station. Highly recommend downloading 'city mapper' app, you will not get lost with this. The colosseum is … more

Very well located, metro is a 10 min walk away and cheap 1.50 euro each way or worth getting a 24hr /48hr pass if you plan to use it multiple times per day. There is a lovely park next to the station. Highly recommend downloading 'city mapper' app, you will not get lost with this. The colosseum is also a 10 min walk away through another beautiful park . Vatican is 5 stops on the metro, trevi fountain 3 stops. Make sure you pre-book tickets to the colosseum / vatican to avoid queues. There are lots of cafes/restaurants/shops nearby, lively at night. Triple room was ok in size for 2 people, a bit of a squeeze for 3 but you shouldn't be spending much time in there! Bathroom was small, although shower was decent size. There is hand wash supplied and mini toiletries. Room was very clean and has a large window overlooking the street. No issues with noise. Taxi to/from Rome Ciampino airport should be 35 euro max, make sure you agree once you get in. I can't fault the hotel. The only negative was that the reception wasn't always manned. I don't know if this was because it was easter weekend. I struggled to get a uber to the airport, but luckily the lady on reception helped and called me a local taxi that arrived quickly. If I were to visit rome again, I would stay here again.

“Very good for price”

Booked 2 nights over new year and the price was fantastic. Rooms are small and basic but perfect if you aren’t planning on spending much time in the room anyway - which whilst in Rome why would you. Location was great only a 5 minute walk from metro and bus station and 10 minute walk from colosseum… more

Location was great only a 5 minute walk from metro and bus station and 10 minute walk from colosseum. Receptionist very also very helpful. Would probably stay here again if I were to visit Rome again.

“Clean place but rooms on the small side”

Very difficult to find on the hotel. The sign was very small and following the location according to my GPS landed me on the opposite side of where it was. Found it and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a little small but a normal Italian style one.
