Pros:

Amazing location, walking distance to pretty much all tourist attractions except for Vatican City that is a bit of a longer walk. Receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful. Room was in good condition, we were really pleased with our stay here

Cons:

Breakfast is extremely basic - not bad but something to be aware of. On site parking is advertised but what is actually entailed is a parking garage Not owned by the hotel about a minute walk from the hotel where you have to pay.

Bonus taxi right outside and 10 minutes from the centre.
Pros:

Bedding was clean and location was great.

Cons:

Some staff were unhelpful. Breakfast was terrible, not fresh at all. The Hotel could be an amazing place but unfortunately it is very outdated and needs completed re-mordenising.

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.
