On arrival they were doing some cosmetic work in the entrance, which had me worried. However after an easy check in we went to the room which was lovely. Very clean with a big comfy bed and nice full length windows. The bathroom was nice and there was a bath which was great after the journey. Breakfast was a buffet with the choice of lovely pastries, hot food or cereal. Overall this was a good hotel to stay in, with easy access to the main sites on foot.

This hotel is fine but not exceptional.
I'd say it is more a business hotel than a boutique hotel. While the design is quite nice in the reception, it's not drop-dead gorgeous and lacks any quirky touches (rooms seemed to be all identical).
Few annoyances:
- breakfast stops at 10.30am with a vengeance - so if you get down at 10.25 and ask for food to be replenished, they won't (understand that you wouldn't get stuff cooked freshly but even our requests for some bread were bluntly rebuffed)
- hotel map doesn't actually show the hotel (hidden under an ad - bit confusing)
- sound-proofing on to corridors isn't great - we got woken up by kids running around at 6.50am (bad parents!) and by people knocking on other people's doors.
However, despite these gripes it does have its good points:
- quite good central location (near metro and walkable to most main sights) - area itself is a bit dull but the cafe the staff recommend nearby is delicious
- good value compared to other Rome hotels
- nice desk staff
- very clean
- big comfy bed
Another point of difference is that rooms at the back overlook a big school playground - you get the strange sight of children singing the national anthem under your window each morning! Wasn't a problem as kids don't arrive too early and double-glazing kills most sound.

We stayed 4 nights, the hotel is located 20mins walking from downtown or 5mins with the metro or bus. Metro & bus stations are 2mins walking from the hotel. Very clean room, minimal furnished, not very spacy.(this was not a problem though) Wonderful bathroom with jaccuzzi!!The staff of the hotel was very friendly and polite. We really loved this cozy hotel, since everything was very good, even though most of the time was spent in sightseeing and walking around Rome, which is the most fantastic thing to do there!

Hotel was what we expected after reading the reviews. Very nicely presented and modern. Rooms were small, but enough for us, as we were only staying a couple of nights. All very clean and clean laundry/towels both days. Eating/drinking was expensive, but then that was probably due to the location.
Air con was not working, so had to have window open, so was very noisy. We were glad to get home for this reason.
Hotel was very central to the Termini, Colloseum etc, so did plenty of walking. Nice places to eat down the road.
Would we stay here again? Probably, but will probably never visit Rome again, once you've done it, no need to go back really!
Staff were all very friendly and helpful and provided us with a map (which is a must) and tourist information when we arrived. The tourist, jump on and off the bus for the day is perfect.

The hotel was about a 5min walk to Manzoni Station, which is two stops away from Termini station. Its in the South Eastern part of the city near the Colosseum.
There was not much to do around Manzoni / Termini, but the Colosseum was only a 10min walk away and then a walk into the centre is about 20mins.
The hotel was very clean and modern, we found the reception staff to be very friendly and helpful and offered information on where to go, unlike previous reviews I had read.
The breakfast was very nice. The only thing was the rooms were a bit small and the builders started drilling about 9am which woke us up. The hotel also do not have any iron / ironing board which you can use.
Overall we were happy with this hotel for a 3 night stay and would reccomend this to people who are on a long weekend and for people who just want a basic room that is clean.
