Pros:

das Hotel ist gut vom Bahnhof Roma Termini zu Fuß zu erreichen und man ist schnell beim Kolosseum. Es ist sehr sauber und unser Zimmer war relativ groß. Schönes Badezimmer. Sehr freundliche Dame am Empfang. Man darf sich den ganzen Tag im Frühstücksbereich am Kaffee bedienen und Softdrinks in der Minibar sind im Preis enthalten

A good choice when looking for a comfortable place to stay in central Rome
Pros:

The hotel is easy walking distance from the main railway station. Although the room was relatively small it was well appointed and the bed was large and very comfortable. The air conditioning was efficient and with the windows closed the external sounds were inaudible. Breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

It is not immediately obvious to spot the exterior entrance to the hotel when the entrance doors are closed as there is no obvious signage.
