Failed to meet expectations.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. The location was good, right next to Santa Maria Maggiori and not too far from Termini.

Cons:

The breakfast was appallingly bad except maybe for the cornflakes which was OK.
The staff was OK for the most part but one man in the lobby really needs to work on his interpersonal skills. He probably thinks he is being funny but mostly failed. We had guests over once and he 'threatened' to take their passports off of them and put them in a drawer. It wouldn't have hurt for him to say something like 'I need to make a copy of your passports', job done.
The tea and coffee facilities in the room were provided for one night at the start but thereafter we had to go and seek it ourselves with mixed results. There was no socket to plug in the kettle. The toilet looked like it dated back to roman times and the shower was more of a dribble. There were a few light bulbs missing and we pointed that out to hotel staff and hopefully they were replaced after our stay for the comfort of the guest who came after us.

Fordums storhet (Palazzo) på vei ned. Dyrt i forhold til kvaliteten
Pros:

Nær jernbanen og relativt nær noen bra restauranter.

Cons:

Middelmådig frokost. Få kaffetilbud, tørre rundstykker. Svak aircondition og varmt rom når det er sommervarmt i Roma.

Pros:

The hotel's location was perfect for us to explore the city and the staff couldn't do enough for us.

Cons:

The shower was a little worn and therefore was just more than a trickle. I would have expected the hotel to have replaced the nozzle at the least.

Pros:

La posizione è strategica. Camera pulita, spaziosa e silenziosa, letto comodo.

Cons:

Parlo di piccoli accorgimenti che possono aumentare il confort di una camera già molto comoda: poche prese elettriche (una sola vicino al letto), nessun appoggio per valige, nessun appendino in bagno.

Una experiencia horrible
Pros:

Siento mucho decir esto por la gente que trabaja en este hotel, que fueron muy amables, pero tengo que decir claramente que todavía estoy impactado por las condiciones insalubres de la habitación y el baño.
Y eso que estábamos en la habitación Executive... no me puedo creer que se pueda ofrecer una habitación en esas condiciones.
Mi recomendación clara: no reserves en este hotel, en mi opinión no está en condiciones de estar abierto al público

Cons:

No se puede tener un baño en esas condiciones insalubres.
Y la moqueta... en fin...

Beautiful place
Pros:

The property was great so much history. Brings you back in time. Is walking distance to the Holy Stairs. Taxi is in front of the hotel. Santa Maria Maggiore church is across the street. Many places to eat around. The breakfast was great and the people who works there are great. I just had a non great experience with the person who checked us in, since we travel from the USA he was bushing our President and saying bad things about the USA. He is from Cuba. Instead of telling the story of the building he forgot to tell me that there is a chapel inside the hotel. Is sad because I saved this location last year on my favorites because of that. I was not sure if that was the place when I checked out that is when I found out the guy who checked me out told me. He said what the person who checked you in didn’t tell you. I said no he didn’t. I did t tell this guy that the Oder guy was too busy bushing my President and my country. They need to leave us alone we come to spend money.

Cons:

That even though the parking lot is free. There is not too much light and is shared with the restaurant that give free lunch to the needy, those people sorry to say but they are dirty even though the garbage cans are near they leave garbage in the floor. I would not recommend anyone going alone to park or remove the car at night time.
