The hotel is close to everything, and good value. Do not be put off from the pictures of the front, once inside you ride a wooden box lift like you see in the classic movies to the floor of the hotel, where you will meet Massimo who will look after you. Massimo suggested best sites, travel and arranged our return transfer. Rooms are clean and tidy, although I will be taking my own mug next time as the cups they provide are glass and difficult to hold. The room has not got 24 hour reception, although Massimo can be contacted if there are problems. Nice resurants behind (the second one along looks very dated, but is excellent value and the food is delicious - especially the pannacotta). A supermarket to stock up the fridge is two down. The hotel is a stones throw from one of the main roads, turn right and walk for 10 mins and you are at Termini station, left for 10 mins and you hit the sights. Rome has a something to see or buy on every corner, with reasonably priced places to eat every where. Pre book main sights like the colosseum to avoid the ques. Underground and busses are safe, cheap and easy to navigate. Rome needs a few visits to see it all, and I would Use this hotel again if I do.
